acne
"I took 60 mg of accutane for almost 6 months and I had moderate to severe acne.  Did help my acne tremendously and though once in a while I still get a little pimple here and there, it is not to the severity of before taking the medication.  However the side effect was brutal: very dry skin, nosebleed , and a lot of hair shedding.  I say the hair shedding was the worst side effect of the medication because I was shedding hair during the medication and even after I stop taking accutane, I developed telogen effluvium which cause more shedding for three more months.  Eventually the shedding stop and everything went back to normal.  Yes this medication is effective for treating acne but be cautious of side effect."
