I got on accutane for it because I’d been on every topical acne treatment before and none of them lessened it. But accutane is not for the weak I currently have an accutane rash rn and it’s killing me

this is niche and probably won't work if it needs medical attention, but ever since i started drinking smoothies and juices my skin has cleared up so well. you can find a lot of recipes online (i get mine from pinterest) and it helps add in so many nutrients that often get skipped out of our diets

so in order to fix ur acne u need to know whats causing it (aka is it hormonal, bacterial, fungal, or just poor internal or external hygiene) depending on the cause it could range from something as simple as needing to drink more water/cut sugars down/eat cleaner all the way to needing certain products to help

Don’t they also have to do pregnancy tests and bloodwork and stuff? Doesn’t seem fun. Ppl in my family used it. It was effective, but it had to get worse before it got better

Every month you have to do liver/lipid panels and a blood pregnancy test, yes. Then after the (you have to time when you get them both done) you have to meet with a dermatologist about the accutane again so it’s a lot of work!
