I had severe acne on my back for several years. I went to many dermatologists. No one could quite help me. I tried every cream and every pill you can take before Accutane. I lived with this for 7 years!
My back acne was very embarrassing, it was like a pepperoni pizza back there. I couldn't wear dresses that showed my back. I was very uncomfortable with my back. Finally, I went to one last dermatologist and she asked me if I had heard of Accutane, I had not and she clearly explained to me the benefits and side effects. As far as I was concerned, I was willing to take the risk if it meant ending this, I would have tried anything.
Thank goodness it worked! The immediate side effect was dryness of my hands, lips and scalp. My acne disappeared in less than 2 weeks. I have only been off Accutane for 4 months now, but my back is still clear and my skin, scalp and lips are no longer dry! I would do it all over again if I had to. Trust me, I tried it all! I am very satisfied with the results.

Every doctor, staff that helped me was always friendly. I never had to wait after my appointment time. I had to work very early and they tried to make my appointment as quick as possible. The doctor answered every question that I had. I am so thankful!

Hi arianakoch,
I imagine you are sooooo happy that your back is cleared up. Especially living in Vegas. You must be wearing only sundresses and tank tops. Yay! We'd love to see pictures if you are comfortable sharing.
Thanks for much for the review and enjoy the rest of your sun-dressed week! :)
