[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]But the Accutane should not be used until other measures tried first. Accutane is not the only cure of cystic acne, as you seem to claim. It was the only one for your DC, yes. But to recommend it to people right off the bat is irresponsible.[/quote]

NP here.  The PP isn't the only one it worked for.  Accutane has been around a very long time and while the side effects can be significant, it is a literal lifesaver for many.

You blasting the PP for making a medical recommendation is pretty ironic given you, too, are providing medical advice.."Accutane should not be used until other measures tried first".  It would have been less hypocritical of you to just say 'you should consult with a dermatologist'. [/quote]

Perhaps, but with a significant difference.  My recommendation won't kill them.[/quote]

Oh my goodness.  Did it ever occur to you that many teens with horrific cystic acne had depression long [i]before[/i] taking Accutane?  And that a major factor in their depression was *THE ACNE ITSELF*?  It scares me to think of what might have happened to my son(s) had they not been given the opportunity to get rid of their acne, once and for all.  Accutane saved them.

I certainly agree that any responsible parent should consult with a dermatologist about their options, and review any potential side effects.  But in my case, I now know our options.  And I'm very thankful we found one that actually works.
