"i&#039;ve had very bad back and butt acne for 14 years.i have always put off taking accutane as i heard of the horrible side effects. i went to the doctor for a bad spot of acne that needed to be cut open. he said i have to go on accutane and explained the side effects. lets do it cause i can&#039;t carry on like this any more.the pain ,the bleeding and the fact i haven&#039;t taken my shirt off in public for 14 years. i was very worried about taking it. started in december 2016. i&#039;ve been on it for 4 months already and its made a huge difference to my back and butt. my butt is taking a bit longer and that was explained to me before taking it. i have had very little break out on my back and its almost cleared. thou i have dry skin and very dry lips so far but worth it."
