CheapChineseFood answered Wednesday August 4 2004, 12:53 am: Accutane DOES work. My mother used it. BUT...there are MAJOR what ifs about it. Like, you could become sterile, or if you do become pregnant, your child could have abnormalities. You also could come down with suicidal tendencies. There is a BIG LONG list of side affects that sometimes do happen. The most common one is peeling, and you can't go out in the sun directly without sunscreen, or your face will turn an awfully bright red, and you'll get burnt. My mother used it, as I said before, and that s what happened. But the dermotologis just reccomeneded it for one of my best friends, and they gave her a BIG LONG LIST of side effects. Bad ones. I don't think it's worth it. But that's not up to me. But yes, Accutane does work. It's a bunch of hormones. [ CheapChineseFood's advice column | Ask CheapChineseFood A Question ]
