what side effects did you get from using accutane? i totally understand what've you've been through. . . .i feel like i've tried a billion topical creams and pills, but nothing works, my doctor is thinking of putting me on accutane, but i am kinda scared of the side effects

Omg I can totally relate to your story, My face was so clear and then all of a sudden I started breaking out. I didn't want to go anywhere not even church, and I felt really uncomfortable talking to people. I isolated myself from everyone else. And I hate when I'm talking to someone and they be like "omg you're breaking out", I just want to slap them...because tell me something I don't know. But you're going to get through it, I'm getting through it. I start Accutane monday, and I'm on RetinA

@Jenabeebee accutane is terrible!!! People are having a lot of issues with that so don't take that!!! NEVER!

The bottom line is that i need to exfoliate and take these top layers of skin off.....what should i use...i heard Retin A?

[crunchkinn]

i am currently using retin a. did you skin get irrated badly too. like mine, it burns to put anything on it, it is peely & really flakey, & it BURNS ! it hurts to open my mouth and everything. how long did it take to stop irritation ?

@instantramen only thing im dealing with at the moment is the red marks and hyperpigmentation. however im using tretinoin which is helping. so im trying to get the word out to people to use tretinoin because i wish i had known about it. its really great. also helps with lines, wrinkles and blackheads

@instantramen they dont cover birth control? even if its for hormonal acne and not as a contraceptive? wow thats expensive. since april and all summer i HAD HORRIBLE skin. like all over my jawline and painful and at first it was cystic and then i got like pustular acne in the same area.. sorry for the horrible details but im sure youre familiar with this horrible condition. anyways i wouldnt leave my house for a week it was that bad. now that im on yaz and antibiotics its cleared up completely.

@leesard17

You got Yaz for $70? LUCKY! I was told by my pharmacist that its $20 more than Gianvi, which is $90. My insurance doesn't cover birth control so I'm paying 70 bucks every month out of my own pocket; which sucks.. but I guess the Gianvi results are treating me well so far. I wonder if Yaz would be better and work faster though because I want to get rid of this acne asap. Maybe I should try Yaz for my last refill before I renew my prescription. How's Yaz working for you btw??
