my battle with hormonal acne

Well after 15 years of suffering with hormonal acne and god knows how much time, effort and money spent on treatments (creams, gels, topics, tablets, laser treatments and glycolic peels) I finally made the decision to go onto Roaccutane (UK)/ Accutane (US).

I am so sick of my horrible horrible skin and depite knowing that it is hormone related, at 26 it is really not fun still having teenage-looking spots :(

I went to see the dermatologist at the hospital who advised me that I MUST NOT get pregnant while taking it - I had to sign a consent form. I also had to have a liver function test and cholesterol test to check my levels and these will be checked every 4 weeks alongside a pregnancy test which proves I am definitely not pregnant! Very strict.

Finally I was given the go ahead...
