Has anyone here ever been on or every considered Accutane treatment for acne?
I recently found out I can no longer be on a hormonal birth control (family history stuff), but they main reason I've been on it is to control my face. I'm lucky that my acne is not wide spread, but I do get very painful pop ups - just enough that I qualify for Accutane.
However, this stuff is crazy! You have to get blood work done quite often before and during treatment (4-6 months), and there are many potential side effects (Serious depression, liver concerns).
The big benefit though is after your treatment, you are permanently 'cured' of acne (which is big for me as my mom still suffers from painful acne at 50, and I'm pretty sure that's going to be me).
Anywho - any gals out there that have used or considered this stuff???
