Although the exact method of action is unknown accutane seems to lower your skins ability to produce sebum or oil.
It does nothing to address the hormonal imbalance that is causing the skin to produce too much oil in the first place.
Once the drug wares off your acne will come back worse then ever because of the serious liver damage it causes.
Not only that, accutane has serious and sometimes permanent side effects…
Just a few are…
The minor ones…
Chapped lips
Dandruff
Dry skin and itching
Dryness of the nose and nose bleeding
Irritation of the eyelids and persistent feeling of dryness of the eyes
Rash
Headaches
Nausea
Blurred vision
Mood changes
Severe stomach pain
Diarrhea
Rectal bleeding
Yellowing of the skin
Joint and muscle pains
Delay in wound healing
Hair loss…often showing up years after the drug is discontinued
Increased sensitivity to sunburn
Decreased night vision
The more serious ones…
Depression and thoughts of suicide.
May increase the level of blood fats, sometimes to risky levels.
Hideous birth defects. And these have been associated with pregnancies long after the drug was discontinued.
Permanent loss of vision. Accutane can cause the retina to become "rough" leading to blurred vision. This is very often permanent.
In high enough does this drug will cause the growth plates to fuse…stopping growth.
And it has been linked to crippling arthritis.
All of these side effects are admitted by the manufacture. This drug is a poison…does nothing to address the actual cause of acne…will make your acne worse in the long run...and damages your body…sometimes permanently.
