"accutane gave me completely clear skin after 7 months of using it and 4 years of severe acne. even though people say they got horrible scars from the zits they had during their treatment, i have very few and they&#039;re small enough that you can&#039;t see them unless your face is right next to mine. i got a dry scalp, lips, and skin, but it was never enough to prevent me from wearing contacts like some people warn. to help with dry lips, get dr. dan&#039;s cortibalm. it&#039;s the best chapstick out there. i got minor to moderate pain in my knees too, but it wasn&#039;t anything i couldn&#039;t put up with. and that horrible breakout that they tell you you&#039;re going to have when you first start? mine was barely noticeable."
