Only thing I haven't tried is accutane which is a drug that might give me a long term chance of getting breakouts under control. There are risks but its not like you can die from it. Bad stuff can happen though.


My thinking is I have to try this shit because its the hand I was dealt, and I'm wondering if most agree? I have got the workover and I'm ok physically, don't drink or smoke. Exercise and am at a healthy weight. It just happens to some people, even older people the docs say.

You wouldn't think it could be that painfull but it brings tears to my eyes and never lets up, thats no way to live and I should do whatever I can to stop it right?
i took accutane for a week before it damaged my liver and i got sick as hell. felt like i was gonna die. was weak for almost a month afterwards.

i've never had acne that bad. still get it now when i don't take drugs for it. have you seen a dermatologist?
