I've had severe cystic body and facial acne for 15 years. Is accutane an option for me?

Asked By:alyssah36 in Phoenix, AZ

I've been breaking out on my face, neck, ears, back, chest, all the way down to my stomach and the top of my buttocks since I was 11. I'm now 26. I've tried antibiotics, prescription topical ointments, and quite literally every over the counter treatment. Nothing makes more than a small difference. I've been considering accutane for a few years now. Is it possible I could be prescribed it, without having to do more bogus topicals and antibiotics? I live in the Phoenix area.
