I have struggled with acne (everything from cystic acne to blackheads and pitted whiteheads) since I was 11. I was embarrassed my whole life and avoided all sorts of activities and events because of my embarrassment and low self esteem. I started about three months ago on 60mg for six months. I had severe dryness around my lips and on them, (expect it around corners) and it took about a month for dramatic results. I understand all experiences are different but it's usually around there. All of a sudden BOOM! Results. A breath of fresh air. I feel like a new person and so much happier. Although they talk of extensive problems and complications they are minor compared to the joy and happiness I finally so desperately needed. The photos of me were hard to share but a necessity.

she met with me and gave me prescription after prescription until I think I tried and did every possible combo and drug/topical lotion. She finally recommended roaccutane but with stern warnings. Dryness mood swing so on and so on. She reviewed my history of health and made it clear i needed monthly check ups and bloodwork and two forms of birth control.

Great that You are happy :) All the after Accutane results are with makeup so not really sure whether it also cured your red marks. I have the medicine but scared of the initial breakout so have not yet started.
my acne never really scared but yes the ones that did are completely gone!!
