    Anyone here ever used Roaccutane ??

    Heard it's now banned in America but was wondering if anyone here has had any previous experience with them ?

    Side effects sound pretty brutal. I start a 4 month course in May.

          Find something less dangerous. Google egg yolk acne treatment.

              yes, it removes the epidermis (some part of your skin becomes red).
              It hurts a little bit, it is pretty efficient against acne/sebum.
              I don't remember to had suicide ideas because of it...

              If you are looking for a natural product, use stinging nettles leaves on your skin, but it hurts too and you can only get them in spring of summer...

                  I was surprised they offered me it to be honest, but it is what i wanted.

                  My skin is generally fine, but i am prone to the odd minor break out every now and again. So i'd prefer it wasn't always like that obviously.

                  I'll see how i go!

                      Wait, you're going on accutane because of "the odd minor break out every now and again"? I'd reconsider if I were you - there are people with serious long-term damage from taking that drug. I personally know two. Are all the claims true? Maybe not. But with so many issues, where there's smoke there's fire IMO...

                          Bullshit.

                          Doctors prescribe it only as a last resort option, when your face looks like a nuclear war battlefield.

                          The trade off is that it literally destroys your liver.

                                              Difficulty with the Western Capitalist model is that it's about treating symptoms rather than curing i.e. accumulate recurring subscribers.

                                              My buddy had serious problems with Acne, it was ruining his life, he tried everything the doctor gave him but his Acne never improved. One day I sent him a link to some Chinese product I'd read about, he was at the point where he'd try anything, he ordered it, the product worked and within a short time frame. When he ran out he thought the spots would be back, but they never did return. I just Googled it to remind myself, here "FABAO 101E Acne Getaway"

                                              The trap of the Western Acne Industry is the treatments they sell in the supermarkets; they are designed to change your skin so as you are a regular customer.

                                                          unless you have serious cystic acne or something don't use accutane. definitely do not use if you just have the occasional break out. this is a very powerful drug. wash your face a couple times a day with your over the counter products. it's not worth the side effects.

It's very common in bodybuilding for people prone to severe breakouts using steroids. That said, stop listening to idiots here. Anything you take is about potential risk versus benefit. That is a decision only you can make for yourself and everyone's results are largely unique to them. It's not hard to find a list of risks. The potential benefit is never having another breakout again in your life. How important that is to you, is a question solely for you... not everyone else.
                                                                                                  Haha. Thank you sir (i think)

                                                                                                  It probably does sound contradictory on a message board, but there's not much more i can add to that. It's not a serious problem, but something i'm aware of and would rather as you put it "not have another breakout again". For me, i will take the risk that comes with it. My decision you are right.

I've had friends & family (also Scottish) who are alcoholics - if they asked my advice I'd say "You should lay off the sauce, you're obviously damaging your health to say nothing of marriage or whatever."

                                                                                                      They never ask though. However you did, but it seems you already had your mind made up even though in your words, "side effects sound pretty brutal". Like Squealer sez, it's up to you...

                                                                                                          It can permanently change your skin. If you have full blown horrifying acne, then its with the risk as the side effects may not be as bad as living with that kind of skin, but other than that, Id skip it.

                                                                                                          At least get a second opinion if you haven't already. Good luck

The best advice I can give you is to avoid accutane unless you are truly desperate and without hope. It is meant to be used on people who have such terrible acne that they can't even leave the house because of the shame their skin causes them.

                                                                                                                  It sounds like you've tried a lot of pills and creams, but have you tried changing your diet? Some people have incredibly reactive skin and that may be what's causing your issues.

                                                                                                                  Also, less is often more when it comes to products - check out Paula's Choice. They make great products and if you email them explaining your situation (you can even include photos of your skin) they can help you select products for you.

                                                                                                                  Either way, I hope you find a solution.

That never grew back. But my skin was looking good at the time but it never solved it. Avatar unrelated.

                                                                                                                                          I'm still suffering from the side effects now.

                                                                                                                                          Given my experience with it, and what I've learnt on the web and from other people that have used it I would never recommend anyone use it. Ever.

                                                                                                                                          If you are really intent on using it then do some pretty comprehensive research, read about as many first hand experiences that you can find.
