I want to stop coping with topicals

[mog_me]

I’ve been on the highest strength of tazarotene for about 4 months now and the results are ok.


I want to hop on accutane so bad tho but I’m worried about growth plate closure because I’m 16 and they are still open (5’10)


It seems like this forum is split 50 50 on accutane. Some people swear by it and others talk about awful side effects and growth plate closure

Most of what I have is PIH and some boxcar scars so is it worth it

Dont worry about it, or just wait until you become 17
