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.
