PSA to all the Pro-Accutane Warriors
This is not a post HATING on accutane. I am even slightly encouraging it. I am just giving my honest experience with the drug and being completely truthful and objective because I know whats its like to have acne all over your face, and after lots of research I know exactly what I would've done if I had that same acne again. Accutane fixed my acne and probably will fix yours too, but there is consequences you should acknowledge so you can run the drug effectively if you decide to hop on.
I guess they barely descend me since theyre small barely indented and in one patch away from the front of my face, and I have even been complimented for them only because I look good JFL (foids will say anything if you look attractive
)
This scarring though can be prevented, or made very small problem, before I was on accutane my skin would heal very fast and I would never scar from pimples, however, a few months ago during the purge faze I had 2 pimples that I got from it which turned into indented scars. I looked it up and I found out I was doing my accutane all wrong. I thought just using moisturizer once or twice a day and hydrating lips drinking water wtv would be enough like the doctors recommend but nope. You should be doing it every few hours if you can, even shorter than that. Accutane is poisonous to a lot of your body but in my opinion is 100% worth it if you have horrible cystic acne, and the small scarring you get from it (if you use vaseline and keep your skin hydrated like I said) is 100% worth it aswell because you are going to scar a little bit anyway if its cystic.
Again, like I said to the anti-accutane FACEIQ primal diet raw meat raw eggs people, if you only have MILD acne, and it might seem like a lot to you if you have it (thats how my "mild" acne felt before it turned semi cystic and I hopped on accutane) you probably do not need accutane, again im assuming you eat clean you clean your sheets, drink lots of water, use pimple patches for pimples etc. Accutane is almost guaranteed to scar you if you already have existing acne, and will definitely scar you if its cystic, the only case I see where it doesnt scar you at all is if you are running it low dose or are running after you already had basically clear skin and just wanted to eliminate the possibility of getting acne ever again, Like clavicular. To be clear Clavicular is an inspiration to me however in some people Prolonged accutane use can make it so your skin heals worse and worse other abilities of your body, like I said, it is actual poison.
As I said earlier, actual surgical acne scar treatment is quite expensive and takes time. And to brokecels here your insurance wont cover it because it is a cosmetic procedure even though its quite literally a health condition and having terrible scars probably would make your mental health terrible and make u want to rope.
(also for the raw meat thing i dont hate on people drinking raw milk or eating meat raw, I think its safe from a local farm and has drastically more nutrients but the impacts of it on your social life and the cost of eating it regularly arent worth it for most people, so do it if you want its definitely good for you and your health.

you faceIQ if you are lurking here your videos are very good no hate)
However, if your acne is completely terrible and destroying every social situation to you, even if its not a falio and just makes u look a little unhealthy, that is still a massive appeal loss. Fix your fucking acne now. You never get new skin. But just remember before you hop on accutane, educate yourself. If you know your acne isnt getting better and nothing is working you should be booking that derma appointment as soon as possible, matter of fact order oral isotretinoin / accutane online if derma is a retard.
Time is ticking, but just know what to expect. Know the consequences.

COMMON MISTAKES ON ACCUTANE
Anyways with that out of the way, Accutane is an extremely potent drug, its not some "oh just take accutane bro", you need to be MOISTERIZING and APPLYING AQUAPHOR every day, aswell as wearing Spf30+, and if a higher dose SPF50+, This is something that gets people because they dont understand and think they can get away with it because they feel fine, maybe theyll apply chapstick or something, or moisturize at night. NO. Plus if you are on it you shouldn't be using any other topical stuff besides if youre at a low dose. You need to be applying that shit every single fucking day I cannot stress this any more. Your skin can literally be paper thin, there isnt a lot of moisture so keep some there, this will lead into my next point. SCARRING
You will SCAR on accutane, regardless of the condition of your skin before, even if its mild to the extent that even something like tretinoin can fix it fast. This is something to consider, what accutane does is cause rapid cell turnover which will help fade PIE but if you dont moisturize your PIE, it will only lose color and then proceed to turn into Atrophic scars which are usually pretty fixable within the first few months of having them but require surgery usually. Trust me you do not want these scars, I barely even have them compared to most people and they are still actual hell and enough for me to continue my at-home microneedling sessions.I guess they barely descend me since theyre small barely indented and in one patch away from the front of my face, and I have even been complimented for them only because I look good JFL (foids will say anything if you look attractive

DECIDING IF YOU SHOULD TAKE IT
I will say this before the Anti-Accutane raw meat eating warriors come into the replies, It may sound like I am defending accutane usage or encouraging everyone to use it, the truth is though that for a lot of people, who are 15, 16 and have terrible acne, it is well worth it to poison yourself a little bit in order to have a normal highschool life, time is ticking slowly and the ROI gets even worse the older you get with ascending. Not to mention your skins natural ability to rebound from the collagen loss if you have scarring is getting worse. The clock is ticking, even if youre 18/19 or older and your acne wont go away and you've tried all the non cope methods, GET ON ACCUTANE. If your derma says no then try to persuade him/her into giving u that accutane prescription you need. If he/she doesnt want to then you can buy it online.
Again, like I said to the anti-accutane FACEIQ primal diet raw meat raw eggs people, if you only have MILD acne, and it might seem like a lot to you if you have it (thats how my "mild" acne felt before it turned semi cystic and I hopped on accutane) you probably do not need accutane, again im assuming you eat clean you clean your sheets, drink lots of water, use pimple patches for pimples etc. Accutane is almost guaranteed to scar you if you already have existing acne, and will definitely scar you if its cystic, the only case I see where it doesnt scar you at all is if you are running it low dose or are running after you already had basically clear skin and just wanted to eliminate the possibility of getting acne ever again, Like clavicular.

Accutane literally shrinks your oil glands PERMANENTLY or least for a long time and is generally bad for most of your body and your skin and sometimes its longevity as you age, this is because having oily skin (doesnt have to appear oily) makes your skin naturally heal from cuts / acne easier and is also crucial in other bodily functions. Nobody will talk about this on this forum, I have seen a total of like 2 people discussing this which is honestly insane. I am not saying oily skin doesnt cause acne but some people are genetically prepositioned to it causing acne for them, or their hormones make the oil fuck them over like I said, try to fix your diet a LITTLE, before hopping on accutane.
However, if your acne is completely terrible and destroying every social situation to you, even if its not a falio and just makes u look a little unhealthy, that is still a massive appeal loss. Fix your fucking acne now. You never get new skin. But just remember before you hop on accutane, educate yourself.
