: Are you guys stupid or something?!
: Do you need a goddamn drug to cure everything? Accutane is for severe cystic acne that has been developing for years. It's a powerful drug that works very well, but it also makes your acne a hell of a lot worse in the early phases.
: Acne caused by anabolic steroids is almost always a temporary problem. Give it a little time, and it should fade on its own. If it doesn't, then "your friend" probably had a preexisting acne problem to begin with.
sorry for being so stupid brian! but you never answered my question! i have already used accutane. not while on roids though. so brian since you are so educated does tanning in a salon reduce the effects or not!?!
