"i highly encourage anyone struggling with acne to ask their dermatologist about accutane. i&#039;ve struggled with mild but persistent acne for years. i was placed on an antibiotic for almost two years after trying topical treatments. this antibiotic worked for me for a few months but i still had breakouts. i have just finished my 6 month round of accutane. i am honestly in love with this drug. my skin is flawless and i am happier with it then i have ever been. the only side effect i had to deal with was dry lips which wasn&#039;t bad. my skin never felt dry, it actually feels softer."
