A member asked:
What would you recommend as the best product for more serious acne. i've tried birth control and other topical things.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne: You may be a candidate for accutane. Check with your doctor or dermatologist. You have to have a special registration to prescribe this medication and you as the patient have to be on 2 forms of contraception. That is because there is 100% chance of severe fetal abnormalities.
