But that is not the real issue with Accutane, It also has some dark side effects
that should not be ignored.

most of my acne.
For 6 months I was almost clear, but then it came back, and this time it got
even worse. Moreover, I started getting severe pain in my elbows and the
knee area, and I still suffer from spontaneous pain attacks in those areas. A

hormones, such as testosterone—can lower the production of acne at best. In
extreme cases it can lead to a severe hormonal imbalance, which can
