It's Not Worth The Temporary Effects.

People are all different when it comes to this drug, because under our skin are many random pore's and spots either ready to come out or hibernating. An initial breakout is kinda good when on accutane because your skin gets so dry the spot falls off without time to bother you, like, the next day sometimes and then you have no spots to worry about after 4weeks. BUT. hair loss is very common and does not rly grow back, especially for men it can be very annoying plus your acne generally comes back after a year if you have inherited acne. So, think what is worse, putting yourself through all this for temporary effects, or just learn to live with it and find a safe routine because there is currently NO CURE for acne, if accutane was the cure then this would be a miracle, its not though. Really be careful, a'lot of people who claim accutane 'cured them' often just grew out of their teenage acne. Adult acne is a whole nother world.

The permanent hair loss is true, its even worse for males because we cant add hair extensions. I used to have a thick head of hair it was the only thing i liked because my acne sucked, but now my acne came back and my hair sucks.

Your right, it's not worth it. People think its a cure, they think if they do it they will be cured, this is not the case. If it cured acne it would be deemed a miracle.

Accutane does cause balding, i had a full head of hair at age 21 and it was amazing, being a guy with such great hair was so rad, but a few weeks after finishing accutane, guess what happened? it all started to come out in clumps. Washing my hair was like getting my hair thinned out and it went on for a whole year then stopped, leaving me with horrible feeling thinned hair that receded. Thank you accutane, now my acne has returned and i have terrible hair. I am by far not the only person with this, i've seen thousands of posts about this exact thing.

Just remember that everything you go through on accutane is going to have to be done again. If you inherited acne then unfortunately accutane will not cure you for life. The effects are great but they last a matter of months, so dont over do it, its not worth it.
