It's hard to give you a concrete answer on this. I have not seen it do this, but I prescribe low dose Accutane, and have for 30 years. There have been some studies that say Accutane does maybe stunt growth, and others that say it doesn't. In reality, it could be something that's nearly impossible to measure. So, if you take Accutane, it's not going to make you stop growing and miss like 6 inches or something. It may make you miss a millimeter of growth, but no one can really give a concrete answer on this because it's too hard to pinpoint.
Accutane will not help with milia. Milia occurs usually from over-scrubbing your face and over-exfoliation. It happens more in thin-skinned areas because the skin is delicate there and more susceptible to milia. Many times people who have acne are overly-aggressive with cleansing and...

I have many patients in college - far away from home - who continue to take Accutane. You can wait to treat the acne when your child is back with you again, but be forewarned that there will be worse and more scarring to deal with. Plus, your child will have another full year (in college!) with...
10mg of Accutane is a VERY low dosage and you should not experience very many side effects with that low of a mg dosage. You're probably much more focused on your bowels than you were before because you are concerned about side effects, not because anything is really all that different. My guess...
