Yeah, it's easy for women. Men don't care whether you have acne or not. They are still looking you over like a piece of meat. Scov93: I am attractive and have acne. But having a disease spoils one's...

You guys are ridiculous. Have it your way- acne is attractive, and there is no such thing as having a criteria for physical beauty.

What To Do After Accutane

Maybe u needed to increase your dose of accutane if it wasn't working. I don't understand these people saying that diet can cure your acne. That has not been proven.

Clarus Gave Me A Life.

That's cool. Sounds like this accutane stuff really does the trick for most folks. I hope it will work for me also- I just got a prescription today. If not I'm pretty much out of options.
