[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would wait. The side effects of Accutane are excruciating, and there are other options now that weren't available when we were kids.[/quote] Sounds like this child has tried those other options. I have posted on other threads about Accutane. I have a now 17-year-old who started Accutane at 15 and finished at 16 (she took it for about nine months). She had NO side effects other than very dry lips. And her painful, scarring acne disappeared entirely. It was life-changing for her and if you have tried everything else that your dermatologist recommends, I would definitely proceed if your doctor is okay with it at that age (I'd probably double check with the pediatrician just in case). Good luck. [/quote]
