Get seen: This is one of the truly rough medicines. Your dermatologist knows how to manage flare-ups and the nasty side-effects, which vary from person to person. In fact, if you weren't having second thoughts right about now, i'd be concerned you weren't taking it as directed. It is also a fantastic medicine that has given many sufferers from severe acne a far better life. Be brave.
