A member asked:

What is the criteria needed to be put on accutane ? i have severe back acne, and mild facial acne with some red acne marks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Failure: You ought to have been placed on failed topical and/or oral antibitics for a sufficient period of time. Topical approaches such as benzoyl peroxide foams combined with topical antibiotics can often be very effective. If you fail these, then Accutane is certainly a reasonable option.
