It got so bad that after trying all
the usual topical medications
and a few oral broad-spectrums, I started
accutane. I took it for over 1 year. It worked, but about 2 years later the acne returned slowly. Today, it is as bad as it ever was, but now I have acne,severe dry skin patches, premature wrinkles, and age spots. I wish I had skipped the synthetic vitamin A and just used fish oil and other supplements.
