Hey, The daily intake dose I was on was 40 mg. Which was why I was suprised some of you was prescribed much more than that, considering your body weights. And, yeah, my dosage remained the throughtou...

Hi Caroline, I cannot help you in terms of the UK, but I just got off of Accutane and the treatment was great. As for the price, typically it's pretty expensive, however you're insured so that should...

It's not really "natural" in terms of where it comes from in that drink. However, with that being said I drank plenty of protien shakes containing vitamin A while on Accutane, and didn't experience ne...

  Thank you! I went to the Dermatologist at Tribeca Skin Center close to Chinatown. She gave me four prescriptions. She gave me Spironolactone 50 MG, Generic version of Retin-A (Tretinoin 0.025% ...

I don't know how Canadian health care works, but I always hear it's better than it's American counterpart. For the most part, acne treatement is covered by most insurance companies. I know when I was ...

Don't read into it too much, especially if it's a small blemish. Remember, if you took Accutane it was probably for large cystic acne. I finished my Accutane treatment about two months ago, and I occa...

Hi Hannah, I'm glad to see that you decided to take Accutane. The excessive dryness typically doesn't begin until the second month, which you should be entering in now. Just keep up the good work.

Hey Ming, The same issue plagues me, so I've done a lot of research on it recently. I ended up taking accutane for my acne, but I noticed my face was also really red especially after the pimples were...

Hi Jenni, I would highly recommend you consider accutane, it will clear your acne. The typical course is about 6 months, and it's very effective. I went on it when I was 21 for six months, and I am n...

Hi Marie, It sounds like it's cystic acne. Everyone's different, your body might be purging what's left in terms of everything. However, I wouldn't really trust a Gyn for acne advice, it's not what s...

He may need to up your dosage, but I just came off of Accutante, and it's been pretty pleasent. I blemish here or there every couple of weeks, but nothing cystic anymore.

Your dermatologist sounds very ignorant. I walked in with mild acne compared to a year before, and my dermatologist presribed me accutane pretty quickly. Now keep in mind, if you want to go that route...

So, I took accutane for acne, but the way it works is it should permently reduce the oil your face produces by about 80%. It some cases, it might not do it the first time, however it is effective.

Thanks for sharing your story, I took Accutane at age 21 a few months ago, and it did wonders. I hope more people will not be so scared to try it.

If you're acne is getting better, I don't see a reason to go on Accutane. It doesn't make much sense to be honest, because even with Accutane it takes about 5 months (30 weeks) for the acne to clear u...

Hi Derp, Yeah, a lot of people here perfer homiopathic treatements for some reason. I just got off of a cycle of accutane, and it is highly effective. The only side effect that I experienced was seve...

The only thing that I've been using is SA, it's a very slow process. Your best bet is controlling the acne, and then looking for a way to lighten the dark spots. SA will do both at once to an extent.

I had to look what it was up, sounds like you're on the right track to getting it cleared up! I wished it was an option for men, I ended up taking accutane. Best of luck to you!

I first tried Proactiv, it did not work for me, but everyone is different. However, what you're describing sounds like cystic acne, it is my suggestion that you see a dermatologist as quickly as possi...

There's a lot of people on this site that believe homiopathic treatements are the best way to go, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. With that being said, you're over-reacting. People don'...

Like the above person mentioned it, don't touch it. It's not worth the hassle of a scar that it could create. It's been pretty widely dismissed that food can play a roll in acne, stress is debatable....

So, I just got off of Accutane a couple of months ago, it's considered the only "cure" to acne, with a low relapse rate. With that being said, I have had a blemish here or there, but no major flair up...

By the side effects that you described, I'm guessing you took Accutante? I took it, I still notice a blemish every once in a while but for the most part I just clense daily to be on the safe side. As ...

My doctor administered a few during my Accutante treatment. I don't think these people experienced indentions to be honest, they probably had the indentation from the acne itself. In your case, it's w...

Try not to be depressed. I understand the selfesteem issues that come with it, but it's not really worth it. If possible, travel out of town. I'm not really used to the concept of having a dermotologi...
