[quote=Anonymous]I am 39 and took Accutane in 8th grade (so when I was 13-14). I had terrible acne, starting around 5th grade when I got my period. Every option for treatment was exhausted before I went on it (except for BC... that wasn’t offered to me as an option). My skin cleared up before I went into high school and it has a HUGE impact on my self confidence and HS experience and I really enjoyed my time there. I did have to go for monthly blood tests, to check my liver function, but other than very dry lips and sun sensitivity, I didn’t have more extreme side effects. That said, I do have melasma at 39...clear skin for 25 years, but melasma all over my face. (At 39... the melasma don’t bother me nearly as much as my awful acne back when I was younger)[/quote]
