I've heard alot of bad things about Accutane, especially with teens. I've read that it causes extreme mood swings and depression also. One of my cousins used it, and it worked wonderfully. She still maintains that Accutane should only be used after you have tried EVERY other avenue and like you said, have talked to a dermatologist and know what you're potentially getting into.

Accutane can also cause very nasty side effects in a pregnant woman as well. Hence why they are always checking women for pregnancy each time they go in while they are on it (or should be checking).

I am experiencing some breakouts right now on my forehead. I'm assuming it is stress because I dont use hairspray that often and I dont have bangs. I think trying to get one's mom in a nursing home would cause anyone to break out

I've been using and sticking to my normal routine of products for day and night but I'm using Retin-A micro-gel more frequently. It seems to be clearing up now.
