Also try to stay away from anything Dairy. I know it’s hard to do, but start introducing Soy Milk . I know at least 5 teenagers from my community that went on Accutane after trying everything possible for years…from soaps, topical ointments, antibiotics etc. none of these things helped. They went on Accutane and it cleared them up completely and they have beautiful skin now.
Accutane is a very personal decision. It needs to be talked over with a proper Dermatologist and you need to be aware of all the facts and potential side effects. You have to dedicate at least 6 months of being on this drug, with very dry skin, always needing vaseline for your lips, lots of water, stay completely out of the sun and monthly blood tests to monitor your liver.
If you are a female, you would also need to be informed of the dangers of pregnancy while being on Accutane….so it’s best to be completely done with it a good year before Shidduchim so that any traces of the drug leaves your body. Hatzlocha Rabbah!
