"my 16 year old son has had acne- not to the point of scaring but enough to really affect his self esteem.

he is now under a specialist and has been taking accutane for about 3-4 months.40mg per day.

after a month or so his skin was even worse and it was quite horrific but now he is nearly clear !

he has always been very moody and i have constantly been worried that he may have depression.

he has shown no signs of being any worse on this medication !

dry, dry, dry lips is the worst side effect and his self esteem is better."
