I'm 32 years old as of last week and took accutane about 2 years ago. I did this privately in the UK ... taken this huge step and swallowed the little red accutane pills. and it came back.
i now take dianette ... you!) and that keeps it under control. I won't do accutane again.
My lips have not recovered and i have ... thinner and therefore i cut and bruise easier.
accutane works for some people and not for others. this is...

No problem, JB ... t want any harsh cleansers to interfere with what accutane was doing so I try to use as little as possible. ...

soulman,
my derm noticed the correlation ... production and ejaculation. he refuses to prescribe accutane now for me because he's somehow sure that this is ... my acne and that's why he also refuses to prescribe accutane for me, I am just sick of having to change my lifestyle ... for the sake of this disease. anyway I will get on accutane if my acne does not clear up in a year or two....
... im 14 and on accutane ... bc i've had it for about 2 and a half yeatrs.....

... skin and probably mild to mod. acne. The 25 days of accutane (at 20 to 40mg a day) has dried me out and now, I ... must say, the accutane has done its job. The problem now is the dry and flakey ... leave it at that.
So since the first 14 days on accutane or so, I do not have to deal with oily skin and breakouts...
