[quote=Anonymous]My DD took Accutane at age 13.

Yes, iPledge is required but it's hard.  DD's dermatologist required monthly appointments in order to measure progress and determine proper dosage.  We provided a photograph of a negative pregnancy test each month, uploaded onto the doctor's patient portal, and the doctor's staff did the necessary verifications on iPledge.  Then I certified a few things on iPledge.  It was easy.  Buy a 6 pack of cheap home pregnancy tests.

My DD had to have labwork every 60 days I think?  It was no biggie.  You just pop over to LabCorp.

Dry lips were the biggest side effect.  I bought a bunch of her preferred lip balm and she kept it in her school bag, pockets, etc.

Sunscreen was a must because Accutane makes child much more prone to sunburn.

Acne was gone in 6 months.  Still uses generic Retin-A every other night at bedtime.  All of the Accutane hurdles were worth it.  We'd have done even more.  Small price to pay for gorgeous skin.  I only wish we'd done it sooner.[/quote]
