Hey Muppet, I'm going to sound off on this one. PLEASE don't take accutane. I took it a couple years ago, and I really regret doing so. First of all, it made my skin so sensitive that, even now, if I get a pimple, the mark left by it remains on my face for WEEKS afterwards and takes forever to fade away. I don't get tan like I used to anymore because of the stuff either. It made me so sensitive to the sun that I got tiny white bumps all over my back and shoulders and they still haven't gone away. Taking accutane has also been linked to LIVER problems (like liver cancer, which is deadly) because it possesses an extremely large amount of vitamin A, which in high doses can be nearly lethal. I SOOO regret taking accutane. I wish I could go back into the past and change the fact that I did take it. Use proactiv and try to change your diet, but please don't go to the extreme of taking this drug. It has so many horrible potential side effects. It's just NOT worth it.
Lucy
