If cleansers and other acne treatments do not work for you, Accutane is another option to consider. Acutance comes in pill form, and usually doctors prescribe it for 6โ8 weeks. Accutane works to eliminate acne at the cellular level by altering the way the body produces natural oils.
It decreases oil output and improves the chemical composition of the oil produced. As a result, your pores get less clogged. Accutane is also a powerful anti-inflammatory. Accutane can have various negative side effects.
Make sure all other acne treatments have been tried.
Some minor adverse effects include depression, joint pain, and headaches.
Some of the more problematic ones include respiratory problems and inflammatory bowl disease.
