>>149388 This person is retarded. Accutane is essentially a super-dose of vitamin A, which clears acne by evaporating the first few layers of skin. However, overdosing on a fat-soluble vitamin is an incredibly bad idea:
Accutane can cause severe birth defects, including mental retardation and physical malformations
More common accutane side effects may include: Conjunctivitis (``pinkeye''), dry or fragile skin, dry or cracked lips, dry mouth, dry nose, itching, joint pains, nosebleed;Less common accutane side effects may include: Bowel inflammation and pain, chest pain, decreased night vision, decreased tolerance to contact lenses, delay in wound healing, depression, fatigue, headache, nausea, peeling palms or soles, rash, skin infections, stomach and intestinal discomfort, sunburn-sensitive skin, thinning hair, urinary discomfort, vision problems, vomiting
Some people taking Accutane, including some who simultaneously took tetracycline, have experienced headache, nausea, and visual disturbances caused by increased pressure within the skull. See a doctor immediately if you have these symptoms; if the doctor finds swelling of the optic nerve at the back of your eye, you must stop taking Accutane at once and see a neurologist for further care. /copypasta
Neurological care? Over acne? No thank you. There is a topical version of accutane called Retin-A which functions the same way with almost no side effects because YOUR NOT INGESTING NEAR LETHAL AMOUNTS OF VITAMIN A, IDIOT!
Also, your acne isn't bad, regular cleansers should be fine.
