Accutane should really be a last resort, it can be tough on your liver. It’s better to start with something milder, like adapalene or a benzoyl peroxide gel.

Yeah you could definitely do it if the acne is that bad and is making your life more/unnecessarily difficult. It definitely works with minimal side effects - dry mouth and skin can get very infuriating after a while- you will need aquaphor and vaseline etc. Cracks and bleeding can occur often. Shouldn’t drink while on it. Make sure to eat well; vegetables, fiber, water - That’s all.
