My daughter was put on accutane for about 4 months and WOW.....what a difference!! She only experienced the dryness all over from head to toe, but aquaphor relieved that. Her skin was clear by the 2nd month! She took 2 - 20mg pills a day for the first month, then down to one 1 pill a day. Her skin glows and is sooo clear!! She doesn't even get one pimple anymore! Along with the accutane, she used retin-A to reduce the blemishes...now have lightened up quite a bit!! She felt that bare-minerals make up was the best for blemish coverage. She stopped taking the accutane for almost a month now and we are just crossing our fingers that she stays clear!!

Just read about your daughter and Accutane. My grandson started accutane 1 week ago and I am praying he has the same response to the drug. He has had some side effects--dizzness and lack of energy--but hope as his body adjusts to the drug these will pass. He has the large nodule acne and his face was so swollen at times it completely changed his appearance. My daughter tried everything before starting the Accutane. He was loosing his self confidence because the kids were making fun of him and we were worried that he would become depressed. He is already starting to show some improvment and I am hoping it continues and the side effects become less.

Her confidence has sky-rocketed!!! I wish your grandson the same results!!! Take care!!
