Does accutane stunt growth?

Yes it reduces igf1, tetosterone, chondrocyte cell proliferation in the growth plate cartilage

Don't just wait till ur growth plate is closed I took it at like 16-17 I could've prob grown 1-2 more inches (I'm 5'9)

Yes, accutane can close your plates prematurely, particularly in higher dosages but it can occur in lower dosages. Additionally, it can lower IGF-1 which is what makes you grow. try fucking everything short of a witch doctor before going on accutane.

Acne treatments that aren’t isotretinoin are laser treatments and topical tretinoin.
