Let's talk about our problem areas!

WOW twenty bucks a month! That is so cheap. Of course I didn't have insurance but about five years ago I went to a dermatologist.And it was going to be like 365 a month. I walked in the office sat down he walked in and instantly wanted to put me on Accutane, he hadn't even looked at my face yet. It pissed me off. They gave me like a twenty page book on it and I had to sign all these releasements. He told me first he had to "try other things to prove I needed it" so he prescribed me some cream and antibiotic to try for a week even though he was already putting me on Accutane. Seemed really fishy to me and I went home and read up on the internet. It freaked me out and I didn't do it. Well about four months ago I went to a different derm. in Ft Worth (what I should have done in the first place) and he put me on a facewash and antibiotic and my skin is so much better! Not as good as I want it to be but that will take time I am sure. I can actually not wear makeup and feel more confident.

I had a friend that was Accutane in highschool. Her face got way worse before it got better. So, make sure you start WAY before your wedding like at least 8 months maybe more. But in the long run it worked great. She has beautiful skin now.

I think it would be worth it for you. I say go for it. Just make sure you are SUPER careful about not getting pregnant.

Honestly, Accutane wasn't that bad. And for me, my skin just sort of stayed the same for a while, it didn't get worse... The worse thing was the risk of burning when I was on it cause I did take it over the summer and I was a lifeguard outside. I wasn't use to burning since I have olive-goes-strait-to-a-tan skin, but I wore high SPF sunscreen. A small adjustment and it was a good habit to get into. My lips were really dry though, so I also had hydrocortisone cream that I loaded on my lips at night and it worked great.

The worse thing was the blood tests and I eventually got use to it - no big deal. For me, it was totally worth it.
