truth

no joke, within about 2 weeks they seemed to just disappear. they literally just dried up and its like they just went back under the skin. only side effect i had was it made me really dehydrated. i was on it for about 3 months and they totally disappeared. ive been off it now for a good 6 years and they havent come back since

dont waste your money on anti-biotics, which are just temporary fixes. dont waste your money on crap like proactive. they just apply topically on the skin and do not address the underlying reason why you have over-active sebaceous glands.

go to the doctor, ask about acutane. its a miracle cure that lastd a lifetime.

I have a buddy who is 29 years old and who became noticeably bald immediately upon taking Acutane at 26 years old.

just look into the side effects before taking acutane

/thread really.

those glands can secrete a lot of oil, since they are hair glands and hair cells require oil to lubricate them as they grow through your skin. wash frequently, and make sure you have real soap. most shit that's marketed as "soap" is a harsh detergent that can really dry out your skin which causes either flaking or more oil production.

the best place to buy real soap is seriously like a head shop or some hippy/new age store.

it can cause really bad hypertension as well. i would only take that shit if i was having really bad cystic acne.

i've never had that kind of acne, but i've gotten some bad acne on my body when coming off cycles, and it was always cured by washing with soap more frequently.

i know some people are more predisposed though, so i can see where some people would want it if they had really bad acne, but i'm wif jew. last resort only.

no sideeffects here. just dehydrated lips while on it. millions of people world wide take acutane. the side effects they list are there for liability sake. but realistically only maybe 1/10,000 patients report having any of them.

more chance you'll get hit by car. acutane is a miracle drug that totally cures acne for years.

well then i kno a 1/10,000 case. one of my homies (friends) had to take it because of acne caused by his chin strap in teh foosball, and it gave him HBP at the tender age of like 17. i've heard other stories as well.

oh yes it can happen. you can also die from EColi by eating hamburger or drinking milk too.

JSN · 05-02-2008, 03:47 AM

yeah, but i don't ken anyone who's died from that. a couple whove gotten sick from e coli, but with no perma facial scarring.

If acutane is good, why the hell I never heard of it? All the time I heard about Proactiv. I will ask my doctor about it and trust his decison if I shouldn't or should take acutane.

gza · 05-02-2008, 04:29 AM

because its a hardcore drug and people have died from its side effects, like liver problems and it sometimes leads to depression

fuck all that shit though. for some, the creams and stuff work, but if you wanna get rid of it permanently, accutane WILL work. instead of treating the symptoms you treat the cause
