ACCUTANE????? im scared.
okay, so im 14/f.. and my mom took me to the dermatologist today, and they told me that they recommended me to go on accutane,, i have to go in for 2 pregnancy tests, before they give me the medicine,, so i still have time to think about what i want to do....truth is, IM REALLY SCARED!!! i've read about all kinds of horrible side effects that this medicine can cause,, two of my really close friends are also on accutane,, and they have experienced relatively no side effects,, but the thing is, my acne is just on my forehead, and shoulders, nowhere else? if anyone else knows anyone on accutane, or is on it,, please, give me some counsel,, because im not quite sure what i want to do yet.

Is this your first time getting acne medication from a dermatologist? If so, then the next time you go to the dermatologist ask if they can prescribe you something less strong, like a topical medication like Differin, Retin-A, Evoclin, or Duac. Right now I am using tetracycline, which is a pill that you take once a day. It works really well. Accutane is really for people that have had no luck whatsoever with other medications, or people that have terrible, terrible acne. So if you've never tried acne meds before, I would recommend that you try some of the ones I've listed before you do Accutane.
I have a friend who is on Accutane and it works well for him with no side effects.
