HEY EVERYONE, I'M KAT!
and i'm here to help :)
i love to give advice, and i've been told that i give some good advice, aswell.
i'm very dedicated once i get involved in someone's problems, and i'll probably make sure you're okay, and that my answer has been sufficent.
i don't 'sugarcoat' my answers, as just about every columnist on this site complains about, but i do present everything in a way that people will be able to handle, and relate to in their situation.
i could honestly care less about ratings, i just wanna help some people out. in my problems, current and past, i seek help through my friends, who i adore.
i'm a huge my chemical romance fan, and i know pretty much everything about them; so if you have a question on them, i'm here. go for it. ;)
i'm unique in my own way, so ask me for something, and i'll give you a fairly different answer.
XOXO
KAT!

I have acne on my face, chest, and back. My dermatoligist told me about Actutane, and I was just wondering if anybody have any information or personal stories about it. Thanks :) (link)

Well, I've been on it for a few months, but I've mostly got scarring left. They're very keen on increasing doses, and usually give you half your weight in doses. (ie you weight 100 lbs, they'll give you 50mg) usually, at least. You need blood tests and pregnancy tests every month, and the program I'm on can get a little confusing. If you're in the same case as me, you have to sign up for something on the net to have an account for your pharmacy, but your nurse can do that too if you ask her to.
I didn't have any adverse side effects, and it really works wonderfully!! I had the WORST acne on my face for the longest time, the same set of acne for over a year actually, and nothing else would really help with it, but once I took that pill, I saw results within about a month. It really made me sooo much more confident.
The one thing I did have a problem with, though, was sunburn. I already burned easily, but I really couldn't go into the sun for a very long time, and I highly reccomend having chapstick handy often. =)
Best of luck, and I really hope this was helpful!
