Look at skin.: Accutane is potentially a very dangerous chemical. It is highly teratogenic and is stored in body fat so even after you stop taking it it remains in your body for some time. It's main indication is for severe cystic acne. Take as little as you can and preferably none but use other approaches for dealing with acne.
