Hello all,

I’ve been dealing with cystic acne for 5 years now. It’s exhausting to deal with. I’ve done antibiotics, dietary restrictions (which lead to a very restrictive diet I got vaguely obsessive over) I’ve done weekly facials, topicals EVERYTHING.

Finally Roaccutane seems like the only choice. I’ve read many horror stories (the internet would have you convinced taking this medication is a death sentence). Does anyone have a positive experience with the drug? Can anyone give me some encouragement! I am still unsure whether to take it or not. Feel free to recommend something else, however after five years I’m pretty sure I’ve exhausted every route.

Anyway, thank you all for reading ❤️
