I took Accutane when I was 15, and my younger brother actually took it twice. I had no real problems, except it did raise my triglycerides a good deal while I was on it, but my brother had a lot of rage while he was on it.

It completely cleared up my clinical acne, though, and what would have been terrible, terrible acne with a lot of facial scarring was basically just an awkward period for me. I was a chubby gay nerd in high school; I didn't need the terrible acne on top of it, so I was thankful it worked well for me. Since then, I have only ever had the occasional zit that everyone gets- usually when I'm sick.

Now, years later, I hear all these horror stories and I'm like "wow, this is crazy".

acne goes away and is then replaced by wrinkles~

Anywho, I had AWEFUL acne as a teenager. Did NOT help my crappy social status, especially when I have the habit when I'm annoyed to scratch at my forehead and I always ended up making it bleed

Considering I work at a fast food I'm shocked that I don't get more zits than I do. Once in a while I'll get a few nasty ones and have to apply whatever is currenlty in the bathroom, but only one application and it's better and is clearing.

Thanks for the tips. I'm not good at skin/hair care stuff because I really don't care that much lol. But sometimes it gets annoying.

Freaking stupid, horrible day.

Big bruise on my elbow from repeatedly having to fall down in musical theatre. On the bright side, it's fun!

Elbow pads for rehearsal~

XD I should. Or I should just learn how to fall better.
