Sapna Palep, MD, FAAD

When I was first introduced to Accutane I heard so much bad experiences I was so afraid. Thank God I didn't let it stop me, I was on it for like 6 months and my only bad experience was my lips were swollen and a raw pink color (but it looked great lol) and they only thing that would help was Vicks Vapor Rub lol (so weird) and my first month I had a really dry cough it was so annoying I felt like my entire insides were dried up. I went to Vegas last July and didn't put on sunscreen and I was in the pool all day and OMG MY ARMS LOOKED LIKE ALLIGATOR SKIN FOR A WEEK (so definitely take care of you skin!!!!) Ive been off the medication for a year now and my skin is still really clear (I still have one or two break outs but nothing like how it was before). I wish I could upload a before and after pic but this is not the same phone I had and it wasn't backed up to my iCloud (sorry) but IT WAS SO SO SOOO WORTH IT! Don't drink while on the med it really is harsh on your liver and drinking would damage your liver more (just Saying lol)
