These past months I started to have skin issues at 19 when I never had any before . Like not necessarilly on my face but like on my scalp and shit wichh is extremly inconvinient .

However there are issues with taking it .

1 Contact lens intolerance
I have a -6 correction on both eyes . This means my glasses look goofy asf . My eyes are my best feature according to me but the glasses make them look tiny . I m so insecure about them . Since I got my lenses at 13 I have never left the house wearing them . When I go to the beach or the pool where I can't wear them I prefer being blind and having someone guide me then wearing them .

2 obligation of taking birth control

Accutane is a very teratogenic med . Wich means if you get pregnant while on it you will have "monster babies".
Birth control really scares me with all the side effets , like weight gain but especially that it was reconized as a high carcinogenicsubstance by the FDA .

Is it worth it ?
And for the people who took accutane while wearing contacts , did you still tolerate the contacts ?

For skin issues i think it will be better to get topical tretinoin prescribed instead. Far less sides, except you have to moisturize and spf 50 sunscreen even in winter

I think you can apply tretinoin on the back too but wdym by scalp, you mean you have redness, flakes ?
 
I don't really wanna do that but it's a bit bad
think of how many ppl See u everyday trust its worth it for the right advice

What did you do to fix the scalp part . People told me to use a specific shampoo but I have curly hair and it makes my hair dry .

I have straight hair and Never used some Shampoo shit I Went to the doc but he didnt sugest anything my mom also Looked on my scalp a few times but it was gone After Like 2 moths but I didnt do anything my mom and I think it was Like some Form of allergic reaction
 
Accutane is effective asf and improves your skin hella. I'm on my 4th month of 40mg. You need high maintenance or else your skin will be fucked. Chapped lips and nosebleeds are frequent and you need to use moisturizer + sunscreen daily even in rainy weather unless ur ethnic. I've been on tretinoin for 3+ years before and it was nowhere near as effective as accutane, plus the fact that accutane effects your entire body is a heavy bonus over regular cream tret. I also wear contacts and don't face too much of an issue with them on accutane. Your eyes will become more sensitive so definitely take them out after 8-10 hours of use. I haven't faced any hairloss/thinning issues but I know a lot of people have had issues w/ hairloss so that is something to consider. Definitely don't shampoo more than 2-3 times per week (the less the better) and always use conditioner after shampooing.

ok thanks this was very helpful
 
I would also only use conditioner Daily and Shampoo Never or 1 a week or every 2 weeks
 
it's on all of my scalp it hurts like hell . I always get weird skin issues when I m stressed
Sis if you a contact dermatitis/psoriasis case like me, no form of Vitamin A derivatives will save us.

You need to see a dermatolgist asap (get a prescription for a rendez-vous from your doctor first) then he needs to hop you on Nizoral shampoo and Bethametasone cream asap

Then you need to use otc products like live-in scalp lotion with Piroctone Olamine (can be found at Yves Rocher) and moisturizing cleansing oil and moisturizer like Uriage Xemose c8+

I agree w/ this. I only really shampoo if I have too much sweat/dirt buildup in my hair and condition every other day (I have straight-wavy hair). It all comes down to your hair type tho

I Never use shampoo it gets clean also with out shampoo shit
 
I have no luck with condoms idk . They popped 10 times in my life and I don't have sex that much so it's scary
Get on those anti preganent Pils and do everything against getting pregenat also buy higher quality condomes
 
Accutane is def more of a hassle for females since they're required to take pregnancy tests every month while on active birth control. Could differ in other regions, but that's what it's like in the US.
I think she is from france or some

ive been on birth control for a year and 4 months and haven't seen any difference in weight at all, if anything it made me skinnier

I think that birth control just makes the adipocites that you already have get filled again . So basically if you never have been fat you’re obviously not going to get fat
