Accutane

Veeky Forums I have had bad acne for the last decade. I have been very hesitant to try accutane because hemochromatosis (liver problem) runs in my family. I am also very freaked out by the mental health problems as well. What do you think I should do? I am sick of this acne, but I don't want to fuck my body or head up.

Did you try a retinol yet? i have a perscription and most of my shit cleared up in like 6 months

How old are you? Where is your acne located? Have trird changing your diet? Can you grow a full beard?

I've been on accutane four times.

>mental health problems

This is bullshit and can't understand how they put it in there. Some kid couldn't handle the fact that acne might get worse for a week and it pushed them over the edge. Now it says suicide as side-effect.

It's not a psychoactive substance. Liver issues are more likely, and if you already have liver problems I wouldn't suggest it. Personally, I never had issue with accutane other than dry skin and lips, and the occasional nose bleed.

Really, go ask a doctor rather than us

Try a topical retinoid like tretinoin, that shit is straight up magic in a tube. Don't try to mix it with anything else though.

The mental health side effects of roaccutane are not a meme. Be very careful. I can 100% understand why someone would attempt suicide whilst on a course

>Can you grow a full beard?
why does this matter? im curious

Just talk to a doctor, I'm on it now and it's doing wonders for me. I have to go for a check up once a month and they take blood samples to see if everything is alright. As long as you're open with your doctor you should be alright. But honestly it feels pretty fucking good to be without acne

Same here

Because developed facial hair follicles are less prone to acne.

if he doesn't have a full beard, he might try the unorthodox method of applying minoxidil on his face, instead of using Accutane.
