Yes, it’s only for serious acne.
But asking us won’t make or break wether or not you get it. A good doctor won’t start you on Accutane if you only have mild acne around your mouth. Accutane is a PROCESS. As in, you will have to be blood tested regularly, you’ll have to get on birth control and you’ll have to be closely monitored by your doctor once a month. It’s a serious medication that can really mess with your system e.g. serious depression, liver damage, vomiting, etc.
Your doc would likely start you on an oral anti-biotic and/or a topical treatment. If your doctor is quick to put you on it find another doctor, FAST.
Its a very bad idea. Plus not just anyone can take that stuff, its NEEDS a prescription from a dermatologist. If its mild acne,a doctor will Not prescribe to you. try proactive if you haven’t already.

Healthwise facial and sinus bath. It’s a mild cleanser that can be used on any part of the body. Mostly it’s designed for people with sinus problems, but it works great for acne. Best of all, no side effects. It’s only good, no bad side effects
I went on accutane and I had moderate acne. But I heard there was a recall on the news because it was the cause of like 4 different stomach diseases and people were suing. I only had chapped lips for the side effects. But yeah, talk to your dermatologist about it and see if its worth the side effects.
It really depends on your dermatologist. They’ll be the one who’ll judge if you need Accutane or not. But Accutane is seriously for severe acne. Your skin will be extremely dry when you’re on it.
Yes.
The less products you use, the better for your skin. Use a bath wash like Suave Bath & Body Gel, use a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.
The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free. I also don’t use liquid on my face for anything, and very little moisturizer, not even a dime size. Since my face is not dry. Good skin also comes from your good genes. Increase your fresh fruits & vegetables 3-5 servings per day. And programmed your mind to do this day after day, for the rest of your life.
Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you’re actually spreading it around. Example: ProActiv contains a known carcinogen, at a percentage known to promote skin cancer.
Smoking has been shown to make acne worse since it diminishes the delivery of oxygen to the skin and robs it of nutrients, thereby inhibiting cars from healing. Not enough reason to quit? Smoke depletes moisture, making skin lose its luster and look wrinkly.
The beauty industry is a billion dollar business, they know acne is everyone’s problem, but instead of saying soap is drying for you, they have to invent an acne product that can worsen the skin as MANY TEENAGERS have experienced during hormonal change, but as you get older those are completely a waste of time & money!
The FDA has called for more safety studies on benzoyl peroxide because of concern about what happens when skin treated with it is exposed to the sun. Until research can establish or disprove a possible skin cancer link to the use of benzoyl peroxide products, the agency plans to require an extra warning and directions on the labeling: "When using this product, avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use sunscreen." and "If going outside, use a sunscreen. Allow [product name] to dry, then follow directions in the sunscreen labeling. If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of both products and consult a doctor."
