Birth Control Pill or Accutane for Treating Acne?

I've had a few consultations with dermatologists asking them if i could take accutane and the response was always no, because they only prescribe it for those with severe acne (i have mild). I'm a little bit concerned about taking birth control pill because i have varicose veins and i do not want them to get worse than what they are. Creams i've tried but are typically temporary .

A: Birth control for acne

Birth control pills are an excellent approach to acne . However, I recommend that the gynecologist evaluate any patient prior to instituting these medications. Birth control is not a substitute for accutane as they are used for entirely different reasons and types of acne. Accutane is in fact for the most severest of acne.

Is It Safe to Buy Accutane Online?

I've noticed a lot of sites like this being spammed out on Twitter. Is there any safe way to order Accutane online? Are these pills even real Accutane? If someone is safely prescribed Accutane by their doc, should they order these pills to save money? 

A: DO NOT BUY ACCUTANE ONLINE

I do not recommend buying Accutane online. This is a highly regulated drug and only should be done under physician supervision and purchased from a reputable pharmacy.
