Severe acne: Most doctors will recommend to try the Accutane after having tried several topical and oral medications to maximum strength and there are still deep cystic acne breakouts occurring. There are many warnings and precautions about taking the Accutane and a through discussion with the dermatologist must be done before the medicine can be prescribed.
