It gave me nose bleeds, and my skin would peel off alot. That's the worst of it. Don't listen to all the scary stuff. It's not always like that. The iPledge program was HORRIBLE and useless. I am not sexually active but yet had to be tortured by them. I give this medicine an A++++ but I give the dumb iPledge program an F------- times infinity. Horrible idea. Lots of chapstick an lotion are a must....
Caused extreme redness in my face and back areas. Also caused me to bleed out my rectum.

I suffered from Nodular acne and had some scaring on the back i took amnesteem and it has helped alot. I finish my last pill about a month ago and my face is alot better and clearer. It was a huge transformation for me since i lost around 30 pounds from exercise, my acne was clear and i gained a sense of fashion ^_^. During the treatment i suffered from drastically dry lips, it almost made me look like i was bleeding, so chapstick is a must! My dermatologist told me i didnt have to really do anything with the ipledge system only check it out if i wanted to, but i know females have to suffer by answering surveys and all that hehe ;]. And i got a really dark tan out in the sun, but it could be due to football camp in the summer so i recommend sunblock. My dandruff has disappear and i get acne here and there maybe 1 or 2 usually when i stay up late, so sleep early, and try to make sure to eat better and clean ur face. However my sister took accutane 2 years ago and her acne is back and she has severe break outs, but it could be the cause of the lack of sleep she gets and the food she eats. Good Luck all~~Read More Read Less
