My boss and one of the drs I work for has and they swear by it. I actually went to a dermatologist today and he prescribed spironolactone. which is a hypertension medication that has be proven to be effective for WOMEN not men with hormonal acne. if this does not work then on Accutane I go. accutane dries out everything I have been told. so vaseline will become your best friend. my boss had severe chapped lips and hands were peeling from the dryness.

Also you have to go every month for a pregnancy test because you cannot get pregnant while on this.. I don't know how old you are but yes a little more information for you.

Accutane scares me.. Lol
My skin is great now I only ever get period pimples if even but I still wouldn't 100 percent recommend it. Dermatologist (at least mines were) are really hesitant with prescribing it to patients. Reason being are patients becoming pregnant while on it. You will take a pregnancy test before you get prescribed to it and every time after that. You will also have to take a test online before you can pick up your prescription. Without taking/ passing it your pharmacist will not give you the pills. Your skin will be extremely sensitive and dry. Are there any specific questions that you have?

It's common for hairloss to be a side effect once it is time for you to get off acutane
