Is my acne mild enough to go on Accutane?

Usually prior to starting Accutane a prescriber will recommend another treatment regimen to control acne, consisting of topical creams and gels, oral antibiotics, birth control pills or even a androgen supressor (Aldactone). I am not sure if you have tried any of these but a dermatologist can help you decide which treatment is best for you. If you have failed any of these treatments then Accutane may be a good option for you. Accutane can also be a more permanent solution to eliminating acne (however not guaranteed) where other treatment options can often control acne but have the problem of it recurring once you stop the medications. You should know that if you start Accutane you will likely be on a strict schedule taking the medication, have to be monitored monthly and get blood taken every month, and be on two forms of birth control. It is also important that you know all the risks of taking Accutane.

HiAccutane is the best option to treat acne, but is not for all person and have its rules.For the acne than you are show in the pictures, is a option because:is making scarstime of evolutionfrecuent flearesis making have a bad days on your life but you are candidate to use itonly ifno have illnesno liver diseaseno diabetesNO DRINK ALCOHOLNO PREGNANT RISK (if you use anticonceptives is ok)have the money for do the complet treatment you need to take arround 1 mg x kg body weigth until complete 120 mg x kgfor a girl  between  50 - 60 kg you need arround 6 to 9 box of Accutane.best wishes

You are a candidate for Accutane, but to take it you need to be on the iPledge program and overseen by a physician who is involved with this program. It might be difficult if you go away for college, but it can be done. Find a dermatologist near you who can help you. Yes, it's an option and a very good one.
