[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And so dangerous....I have a friend whose son has ulcerative colitis as a side effect of his mother taking him off of accutane.

I live in a large college town.  Our college has 70,000 students and our community college has 30,000 students.  The kids from wealthy families are clearly on accutane. They have no blemishes.

The students from poor families and even middle class families have acne. Some have severe acne.

I have an IBD. No way would I want ulcerative colitis for my kid as a side effect of accutane.[/quote]

Well there are other reasons affluent teens have clear skin, mainly higher quality diet, less contaminants and environmental toxins, and exercise. Genetics, as well. [/quote]

It’s diet and exercise. They aren’t allowed to eat junk and they get a lot of exercise. [/quote]

Just stop with the idiocy.

One of my sons has bad acne and the other has never had a pimple.

The one with clear skin has olive skin like my own.  The one with acne is more fair. Other than that they look identical.

They go to a private high school.  They are never sick, never had a cavity.  They eat very healthy and are athletes.  Very good shape.

We aren’t doing accutane due to serious adverse effects their make cousins had and our son has said he will not take it.  That said, he’s not very compliant with skincare routine which is frustrating. [/quote]
