Wsp,
I'm short as hell (5'6 at 16, close to 17 yo) with a bone age 1.5-2.5 years younger than my real age + a bit of acne impossible to get rid of, tried everything, nothing works (crazy genes eh love it :feelswhy:).
I got an appointement with a dermatologist next week and I'm wondering if I should take accutane and risk stunting my last chance at being a bit taller or get accutane and fuck it.

Curious to hear your opinions.

accutane isnt proven to stop bone growth. you can try ig, have you gotten growth plate x-rays done yet?

growth first , check if you can still grow
I still can, that's why I said "bone age 1.5-2.5 years younger than my real age". I've done an xray.

You'll be fine, if you're really scared of accutane you can just take some high concentration / dose tretinoin

but even then, accutane doesnt stunt your growth that much

not true. accutane definitely does affect bone growth, whether it can stunt growth or cause early growth-plate closure remains unknown.
 
Isotretinoin will not stop growth or close growth zones. 20 mg will most likely cause nothing but dry lips and skin. Start now because it requires long-term treatment and costs pennies if you buy it on Indiamart. ROImaxxing! I would be glad if you mark it as a solution

I won't get a high dose anyways cuz my acne isn't that deep, it's just persistent. And I'm not buying on indiamart since i'm going to the dermatologist for this exact reason.

Now think
How the fuck is accutane going to stunt growth? Say, Isotretinoin. Those are derivatives from Vitamin A (retinol) in shit ton high doses. All they can affect is acne and stuff Vitamin A affects, since they're alike in structure. Vitamin A is completely separate from any bone growth mechanisms.

You're greatly exaggerating. Accutane does reduce IGF slightly (no more than 20%) but JFL if you are not already taking HGH
Planning on getting 240 IUs of hGH too yeah.

I mean, as I said, I'm really fucking late on my growth, late bloomer maybe even, since my bone age is only 14.5-15.5. I got a girlfriend and I'm overall pretty happy, that's not an issue, I just would like to not ruin any growth.
 
dnr if this fuckass retard is talking about accutane i have no words
