congrats!!
i've tried those antibiotics for 6months-1yr...and it did help me quite a bit..
but i felt it wasn't v gd for my liver..and in the long term not gd for the body and chose to live with the acne...
hahaha
but not sure abt this accutane

haha thanks :)

i've also tried the antibiotics, but doesn't really work for me as well. according to my doctor, accutane/nimegen's active ingredient is isotretinoin, and the main side effects are dry skin and cannot get pregnant (baby will be deformed or something).

i have to go on a 4month course, 2pills per day, and so far so good i feel. the effects of the medicine can last about 1 year to 1.5 years. after that have to start on it again. but i think it's worth it, considering nothing has worked for me so far and i don't plan to have children soon :)

would that be better than to take oral medicine? hmm just thinking out aloud..
