"i used accutane about 6 years ago when i was 19 for 6 months -i don&#039;t remember the dose- it cleared up my skin, but just a few short months later the acne was back.  my skin is nowhere where it was when i started using accutane, but it is pretty bad, so i am going to be doing a second treatment.  i am a little scard this time because i am actually researching it and they make you wait a month before you can get a prescription which is a lot of time to have to think about it. i just can&#039;t deal with the acne anymore. i also heard that the second treatment usually &quot;cures&quot; the problem. i am really hoping that this will be it."
