I "dealt" with SEVERE cystic Acne in my youth. After seeing the post-facto effects of accutane in some of the testimonials posted in this thread, I am truly glad that I never "went there". The other side of the coin is that I "treated" my Acne with sunlight. It works. But woe to you if you think you'll get out that easy. Sun bathing helped with moderating the occurrence of outbreaks but NOW I'm on my way to the Cross Cancer Institute for excision of malignant melanoma...likely the result of my "time in the sun".
Hey?
At the least?
I was a musician. I looked good and scored hard with the "barbies", back when there was still a bar scene.
But now I'm paying the price for my chosen course of treatment. More food for thought, in a thread which is full of good ideas and comments.
I'm turning 50 this coming summer; the last "serious" cyst was about 6 years ago. Go away bitch, I've paid my dues to you....
