question about getting accutane

**BigGuy5420** · 03-22-2007, 07:47 PM

i posted this in the spa but no response......my little b**** a** derm prescribed me this doxy pills and these damn wipes that dont do s***. she told me to use benzol peroxide and i have been going through a tube a day, it is way to expensive. so today i met with her again and straight up asked for accutane and got denied. she said she knew my acne was caused by steroids (maybe its cause my face is clear but back, chest, shoulders, look like a pizza. and i have horrible strech marks under my armpits) and said she would not feel comfortable giving it to me then decided to lecture me for 20 mins about the bad effects of steroids . i was thinking about going to another one on monday and asking again, but it is 40 dollars every time i make an appointment. i know i can get it online but i would like for my bloodwork to be done every month to make sure its not f'in up my liver. this was my first cycle and I am on my last week of pct but plan on doing futher cycles. should i not even waste my time asking right now? will my acne clear up soon? please HELP, any suggestions?

The way accutane works, is that it doesn't start working till you stop taking it. It's weird but true. They usually keep you on it for a couple months then take you off. It will clear some on it but the best results happen after sesation. The sides are pretty rough (at least for me), my lips got so dry that i had a split in the middle bottom lip about 1/16 of an inch deep that bled all the time and was very painfull. Also it did something to my skin to where when i go in the sun now I don't really tan i just get red and stay red. So by the time you had it in your system long enough to stop you would be stopping your cycle and it will start disappearing anyway. Maybe you could take it while you were off and stop when your on? This is just my personal experience with it others may be diff., however i would not take it again. It goes away quick enough after you come off cycle. hope this helps. KK.

personally ive had bad acne too over my shoulders/back/chest then i touched gear and the problem exploded, same thing and i saw a dermo. Id either go with a lowdose of accutane, the dose they put a heavy(by lbs) bodybuilder on is too high a dose and will turn you from coated in zits to having scabby lips and a burning face which looks just as shit. Id dose double on the doxycycline and get a backscrubber thing and squirt clearasil on it and wash your back/chest/shoulders with it, i dose doxy in the morning/night it by no means clears everything up 100% but clears up a good 3/4 of the problem for me the rest stays but after pct when your hormones stablise itll go away.

Your skin will turn so shit from the tane then youll come off cycle and clearup naturally and be like, use the doxy and the clearasil. The combo should keep you from getting bad scarring zits, dont pick the others and youll be fine
