Can confirm, Accutane is magical.

A single round of it when I was 16 totally cleared me up. That was over 20 years ago.

Luckily for me, my mom remembered how my dad's acne in high school left his face scarred, so she got me into a dermatologist at the first signs of cystic acne.

The doctor tried everything on me, and Accutane was the last resort.

I implore:

If you have kids with acne, please, take them to a real skin doctor. Don't rely on unproven treatments like cutting carbs or dairy or meat. You have one chance to get it right, and if you don't, they'll have to live with facial scarring forever.

I see adults with acne or scarring and I am so thankful I was put on Accutane.
