A member asked:
Does accutane help with just severe acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use caution: To use Accutane for mild acne would be inappropriate because there are other meds that work adequately without the cost, unpleasant side-effects, and risks. Most acne can be managed without it, which is a good thing. Severe acne requires it.
