How many guys here have taken accutane for acne?????

[KRAIT]

the dosage depends on the patients height and weight. if he is prescribed 40 mg i assume its the right dosage for him. accutane (like many other meds) can affect the liver. thats why they monitor your blood monthly. so if something comes up they will stop him. its not a drug u take forever. its usually taken in "courses" of 6 months or 8 months. so the safety precautions are taken care of. 10 mg is very low dose and likely would not be effective on most people with moderate-severe acne unless you do it long term.

Yeah you are right. It also depends on how severe the problem is. I have been taking it for years now. I am at lowest dose and rarely take it. No side effects whatsoever except for dry skin.

Sometimes chemical peels are very effective in getting rid of acne. Anyways, do drink lots of water.

Yup you are right, My doctor said you should be fine in 3 months. Its not on entire face. Just the centre of forehead. So hopefully after 3 months I can spike my hair up rather than using my hair to hide acne.

You can take all the pills and it wont help you, because the reason is related to your diet, hormones and hygiene.

Wash well using a deep cleansing anti-bacterial soap wash.

Aviod fatty foods, cheeze, eggs, beef etc.

Keep a healthy amount of dry fruits in your diet.

Consume citrus in abundance (orange and lemon)

Squeeze a few lemons in a bottle, add few tsp of honey. Drink this the entire day instead of water. (This one really worked wonders for me)

Eat healthy and on time.

Finally workout, all that excess testosterone has to go somewhere.

Stop masturbating, it increases your DHT and causes 5 times more acne than testosterone.

Hmm man I guess that stage is now gone. I have taken the medicine, Aab allah khair kare.
Krait Bhai thanks soo much. This is helpfull. Yeah he got me on 40mg lets see how it goes. My problem is not that bad so he was reluctant to prescribe it. But today he agreed. Just hoping nothing wrong happens. yeah I am taking capsules.
If I dont come on forum for 48 hrs samaj lena Karan Singh Sandhu is gone.

Are yaara, don't worry about this problem. if you ever feel low because of it, just let me know. I am pretty experience with this problem. Whatever worst you can see on forums and internet, has happened to me. Still I never let it get into my head except in early years.

Also remember that stress also causes acne. So its a vicious circle. And drink lots of water. Don't take alcohol.

Mast Jee to Jaldi Jayegi problem. Warna Krait bhai aapke saath hamesha hain.

yup low-dose is good for treating oily skin or mild acne. it is also safer to take cause its easier on the liver. but the logic behind high dose accutane is to target the beast once brutally (for 6 months) and hopefully it will never come back. but it does come back for some people especially those who skip pills or stop taking it after the acne reduces. luckily mine didn't come back.it looks like i never had a pimple in my life.

Don't do it. Hairs rub against this acne and may spread it over entire forehead. Don't use hair oil and keep dandruff away too. Somebozo have mentioned excellent things. Sleeping at right time is also important. Keep stress away.

Dude I have been bodybuilding for the last 2 yrs, 3 hrs everyday in gym. I eat the healthiest of all my frnds. Chicken, fruits, eggs, protien all good stuff. I shower 2ice a day. I keep clean use cetaphil cleanser. Trust me bro nothing works. This all thing is myths. eathing healthy has nothing to do with acne and you cant control your hormones with eating.

Stop masterbating that is not even an option.

things you said do help but not cure. As soon aas you get off this plan you break out again.

desi nusskay? ! hahah. i've tried all of the desi "cures" in the book. believe it or not acne has not explicitly been linked to diet by credible dermatologists. (barring a few foods). its a common misconception in the desi world. but yes if something you are eating is aggravating ur acne then its probably a good idea to stop it.

 

[S_O_C_O_M]

accutane is more effective than topical retin-A. it is also more risky. but at the end of the day it is the only "cure". topical retin-A does not work on some people. they need something stronger.

damn retin-a will dry me down to my subcutaneous layer and any pimples i get are gone in 2 weeks.

Don't be impatient. Soon you will have clear skin. Just cut your hairs. Don't scratch it. Don't let anything touch your forehead even your hairs. Use soft towel and never rub it on acne.
Never burst the acne with nails. Otherwise there will be permanent mark.

You won't have any scar. Strictly follow doctor's advice.

Thank you guys for all the help. I appreciate this. I was nervous and my doctor is a ***** didnt even explain me the drug properly. But now jo hoga dekha jayega. Thank you again.
