Would You Prescribe Accutane to Your Child or Loved One?

dreamdiana19
I'm scared to take accutane because of all the side effects I've read online. It is also, though, my only choice left. I'm a healthy person and I would hate to damage my liver, joints, bones, eyes, or anything permanently. As a doctor, would you prescribe it to your child or loved one??
