Well let me tell you my story.
I have been using this drugs since one year and i am currently on 2nd course of 6th months (20mg per day)

When I was 24 years, i first broke out like crazy, the black and white heads were all over my face, forehead, my back. My family used to poke me that i dont use clean towels and i dont really wash my face properly. It was a hell of a time for me as i have brownish type of skin. I also encountered the pigmentation on some areas of my face with acne..

Then i went upto dermatologist and he prescribed me accutane 6 months. He increased the dosage to 60mg per day after seeing no sign of improvement. Then initially after using it for 4 weeks, the initial breakout was horrible. The acne went horrible and worst. Even the dermatologist was shocked to see that and he termed as the most severe acne patient he ever treated. But after using it for 4 months. I got better and it all cleared up in 5 months and my face was clear. but i experienced some side effects like yellowness in eyes, bowel irregularity, severe headaches (only once or twice).

But it remained quite for 3 months, the scars were still there and i started breaking out after 3months i left using accutane
But this time the reason was that i was under great stress due to some problems in my life and acne was back again
And now I am on second course and they are clearing up very slowly.

I do not know but i have experienced some exotic side effects on my liver and eyes.

The best way to avoid acne is:

-Do not take tension, stress or get depressed because it greatly results in change in hormone which further leads to acne
-There is no clear evidence of human diet influencing acne breakout. Still it better to avoid junk and processed foods
-Excercise can decrease the acne production
-Eating fruits like black berries, red berries, carrot and oranges etc and drinking water can decrease production of pimples on skin,

@karan21
I think i can help you a bit as i myself was really cared so much and i had a lot of acne as well starting from age 14. i used so many medicine and soaps and creams and some worked some didnt. some worked for sometime and then stopped. it just never stopped and i really hated my life because i wanted to be a fashion model and this acne were really making me feel low but with time i realized that people care less for these acne. even when i had those people were always like modeling kyun nahee kartay. we see these acne as mountains and other sometimes dont even notice those that your face is actually full of these. so bro stop feeling bad about it. dont look into mirror too much. try not to think about these too much and trust me they dont make much of difference to the people who care for you and for the rest you should not care about.

The red spots on skin can smash your self-esteem. You don’t then simply suffer from acne, its depression that strikes you every time you have a party to go to. The pretty dress and make-up cannot hide the blemishes oozing out from the pockets of your skin.

But you can make it all go away in a week with the help of simple home remedies, without any side effects.

1. Tomato:
Why? Because it contains:

1. Antioxidants to discard the germs and damaged cells collecting on the skin.
2. Rich in Vitamins C, K and A for drying out the acne.

How to use?

Slice one tomato and place it over the area where you need to heal acne.
OR
Grind one tomato, make a paste and apply it, like a facial mask.

2. Potato:
You know, potato has:

1. Bleaching properties for removing hyper-pigmentation on the skin (black spots, usually occur after pregnancy or as reactions to salty water or face creams).
2. Anti-wrinkles and skin brightening properties.
3. Anti-bacterial agents which fight off bacteria causing acne.

How to use?

Boil one potato and place it over the acne area.
OR
Slice one potato and put on the acne for 10 minutes.
OR
Boil one potato, mash it, add 2 teaspoons of milk powder, make a paste and apply for 15 minutes. Wash with water.

3. Lemon Juice:
Magical solution because the citric acid in lemons opens the blocked pores and soothes the skin.

How to use?

Squeeze one lemon in a bowl. Dip cotton in the juice and apply over acne.
OR
Slice one lemon and rub it gentle on the face for 5 minutes. Wash with water.

Don't shower with too much HOT water .

 

[Anam Malik]

40 mg is too high. I started at 20 mg and mine was of worst kind. Now I rarely take 10 mg. It affects liver but I didn't see any side effect. These medicines can cause depression too. May be your doc will reduce the dosage as time goes by.

The side effects mentioned are written on leaflet but I never had any problem with it. If you are feel these side effects, which don't usually happen, your doc can easily change it. Also ask your doc, what type of acne you have.

But its the best drug in market for acne. I really never cared of side effects. All skin related drugs have side effects so its easy for you to decide. But this drug is worth it because Acne causes too many problems. Those problems are way much worse than these side effects (which I never had).

This low confidence and people's eyes on your face and their pity and stupid words are much worse than any side effects. Don't stop this medication. You are lucky you started early.

You take the capsules right ?

Is accutane available in Pakistan? Where do you guys get it from?

Wash your face a few times daily with Dove soap. Properly. Don't use towels to dry face, even after shower. Use tissue for face or air dry.

And stop touching your face!

Dove soap never gets off !!! Just so much sticky

Using bar or liquid handwash?

Bar washes off fine whereas handwash doesn't. Plain bar is best for acne and general use.

This is the only soap that helped get rid of acne for me.
