I'd like to see who...

Accutane causes more then just liver damage

OBJECTIVES: Several side effects can be observed from isotretinoin use, which has been used in acne therapy for years. In this study, the side effects of isotretinoin on skin and mucosa, blood test changes and their relation with total dose were investigated in patients who used equal doses of isotretinoin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 91 outpatients with acne vulgaris (57 females and 34 males; age range 17-28 years, mean 21+/-2.19 years) were enrolled in this study. Skin and mucosal findings and pre- and post-treatment blood tests and their correlation with the total dose were investigated. Student's t-test and the Mann-Whitney U-test were used in the statistical analyses. RESULTS: In all, 89 out of 91 patients completed the study. Cholesterol (p = 0.00), triglyceride (p = 0.00) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) (p = 0.001) levels were found to be significantly elevated. But these values were not over the double of the upper limits. No correlations were found among the total dose and the skin and mucosal changes as well as the blood test results. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that examination of cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol should be performed monthly if the initial blood tests are close to the upper limits; otherwise, examinations at 2- or 3-month intervals are sufficient, which would save unnecessary costs.

Liver values arent raised in EVERYONE that takes accutane, my dermo was actually surprised that mine went up even though it was only slightly.

Swimming in a pool or sitting in a hottub for a while always helps mine out. The chlorine will dry it out like tanning does.

I def agree, the chlorine does wonders. The only problem is that not everyone has regular access to a pool or hot tub.

Next best thing would be to try tanning.

Acne is a real fucking nuisance.

I hope it clears up for you bro.

ok. Well yesterday, I tanned, sat in a salt water hot tub and then scrubbed my back with a face wash I got from walmart with cycilic acid in it and my back looks 10 X better!! I think what made the main different was the tanning and hot tub.

If you wanna stear clear on accutane i agree tanning does help quite a bit, drys the skin up and makes them less noticeable plus everyone looks better with a tan.
