Please be careful and make sure that you let your doctor know that you've obtained this and are taking it.

There are reasons doctors are reluctant to prescribe it.

The first is that you can't risk getting pregnant while taking it, it is very well known for causing severe birth defects.

And the next reason is due to the long-term ill health effects that has caused in some people, even a long time after they had stopped taking. There are many posts about it on this site.

You can learn more Accutane details here.

Aside from seeing the dermatologist, what other types of doctors have you tried?

Have you ever had your hormones checked?

The reason I'm asking is because this type of acne is known to sometimes be caused by excess estrogen.

Where were you able to obtain Accutane? My doctor won't prescribe it to me and I know it'll work because I've been on it before. Thanks!
