Hej, I've been on accutane for some while now, and my acne is almost gone. Before getting on accutane I didn't eat any fast food or milk products, because I thought It would cause more acne. But does it really cause acne because many of my friends are eating it a lot, and most of them do not have acne. Can I eat it while I'm on accutane, because I'm soon going on a vacation, and I will probably be eating unhealthy and eating products that contains milk :) I'm 17 and I don't drink or smoke*
