Accutane. There's a reason your doctor won't prescribe it. It's involved in class action lawsuits all over the country. I just saw an ad on the tv not 10 minutes ago.
Symptoms include, but not limited to:
Crohn's Disease
Ulcerative Colitis
Rectal Bleeding
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
No thanks. I will stick to soap n water. Couple trips to the beach and maybe some proactive. Keep the accutane.

no sir.
the advice on accutane is the worst advice in this thread.
this is the absolute last resort for acne.

I'v been seeing this commercial non-stop last few days. Kind of has me a little worried..Iv been battling bacne for the past year. The last month it's turned into the worst case Iv ever had. I haven't been able to even sleep through the night becuase it's so painful.
I just bought some accutane and I am going to try it at 20mg for 2 months. I know the risks seem like their not worth the chance, but at this point Im willing to take the chance becuase this bacne is UNBEARABLE.
I am hoping at a low dose of 20mg the sides won't be that bad.

I've had bad skin my whole life and NOTHING I ate or drank ever made a difference. I took accutane but that's the most aggressive thing you could ever do..It cleared me up but its true, it does give you a depressed personality. I was really sad for no good reason.
The next best thing is vitamin b5. pnp has the pure powder plus tea tree oil which is an antibacterial stringent that you apply in the evening. Shrinks your pores right down and the b5 tastes like ass but a teaspoon twice a day will clear you up..not a maybe but a definite solution. One of the girls that worked for me tried this regimen and her face went from nasty to actually quite pretty. I was amazed.
Tanning helps but its not a healthy thing for me to suggest, so its just a matter of preference.. Atleast my skin will be clear when they're doing a skin cancer biopsy.

Bro, your contradicting yourself now, research sun tanning and tanning booth tanning and AALL you will see is how tanning QUADRUPLES the chances of cancer... Sooo your saying you would rather the CHANCE of cancer then the CHANCE of side effects caused by accutane... There are people who DIE from fucking advil man, that doesn't mean you take it off the shelves. Im not saying there arent bad side effects that CAN result badly from accutance, but now your giving a bad rap to accutane just like OTHER people give a bad rap to aas. Think about the way your downtalking accutance right now, in my state getting caught with steroids is like im a junky crack addict BECAUSE of people like you and 90% of those people talking the shit have never even tried them! Im not saying your a bad dude, but unless you've experienced this drug for yourself keep your comments to yourself. When people don't have acne its easy to shrug off medications that may react in a negative side effect, when I was lik 17 I would have gave ANYTHING for accutane.

Who said anything about tanning??? I don't know about where you live but at my beach we have salt water. And it's free! I'm sure, while getting your PHD, you have learned that salt water helps with acne.
I don't have to give it a bad rap. It did that all on its own.
Would you really recommend someone use aas without informing them of the side effects? To accuse me of increased laws regarding aas was is just ignorant (by the way they are federal not state laws). Next thing you'll say is that I'm responsible for illegal immigration too.
???
Yes you are you snot nosed little brat.
I was merly saying that based on my knowledge of the product and the medically documented list of side effects, Accutane would be my last choice. What I quoted was a list of medical FACTS. Actual knowledge not opinion. Google it if you don't believe me.
And 90% of what your saying came out of your ass. I often wonder if you post just to boost your #'s or if you truly believe you know it all?

I think the majority showers once a day. Consider yourself super clean if you do it twice a day even when not on a cycle!

"alot of dirty bastards up in this bitch" LOL
I had acne in high school and took accutane...it cleared me up for good. My dad had acne until he was in his mid 20's (my age now). I had no side effects except dry skin but i remember one night i started having wierd pains in a certain part of my stomach and decided it was time to stop. But it worked. I think i took it 4-6 months?
Now that im 5 weeks into my first test e cycle... Im developing acne on my back, and a couple pimples on my face. Im a bit worried that it might get out of control. I dont really care about the appearance of them as i know they will go away in the summer when im out in the sun. The problem is that people are not stupid.....Gaining 20-30lbs of muscle and getting acne out of no-where = Roids. I already have a plan if someone in my family asks, ill tell them im taking a pro-hormone supplement... even though those are roids too, its not as taboo.
The oil i had on my face in highschool was Insane! I wish i could go back in time to check my T levels. I had to go in the bathroom every 2-3 hours to wipe my face and ears off with paper towels.. I never saw anyone else that had that much oil on their face!

I would also leave accutane for last resort.
If you don't have a regimen already, please start one and be ready to do it for a long long time. Make it a lifestyle.
Use a non comedogenic cleanser to wash your face every morning/night. Pad dry with clean towel. Then apply 2.5%-5% benzoyl peroxide on face. Wait till that starts to dry, then apply non-comedogenic moisturizer.
Give that about 5-6 weeks and you should start to see some differences.
Scars/blemishes from post acne are from hyper pigmentation. Aside from laser treatment, or acidic peels there really isnt a ton of other things that can dramatically make these disappear. It will just take time. What you can control however, is the acne and keep it from flaring up.
This is just MY regimen that has helped ME. I'm not sayin this is the be all, and end all. Take it for what it's worth.
Good luck to you.

I thought you only got rectal bleeding if you ordered your gear from anal-dildo.com? LOL My dermatologist gave me a little bottle of an antibiotic liquid. Bottle has a sponge top and when acne apears I dab this on and it's gone the next day- basically kills the stuff growing in the pours.
I recognize this isn't preventing acne, but for me this was just as good. Helps with both the open faced ones and the more cystic ones.

I get acne even when I don't cycle 
but when I do I get it 10x worst. Last cycle I ran 100mg of minocyclin each day in the morning and it really helped. Washed my body with palmolive dish soap and rarely wore a shirt. Dried up the skin like crazy. I would tan and make sure that after I tan I would shower right away because the heat opens the pores and excretes oils, and sweat. Make sure if it's body acne that you exfoliate with a brush. Skin on your body is tougher than you face and can be exfoliated every day. Hope this helps
