"this is now my fourth month on accutane. i had moderate acne on my t-zone (chin, upper lip, nose and forehead). but i had terrible acne on my back, chest, shoulders and upper arms. it was so embarrassing, i was so worried about what shirts i could wear that i could wear my hair up. shirts that were to short on my arms or v-necks. i hated it and its so bad on your self esteem. i tried everything, topical creams, face washes and antibiotics. nothing worked. i visited my dermatologist and he prescribed me accutane. at first i was very skeptical with all the pregnancy tests, blood tests and the whole i pledge system. after three weeks my face was so clear, my back, chest and shoulders were so clear except for some scarring."
