Accutane update
Useful update from David on week 11 of accutane treatment:

Quote: "The background redness has faded somuch it's hardly noticable any more, and I didn't have a bad flush all week. Also, I'm seeing the acne pimples become fewer and a lot less irritating. I don't know how much longer I'll be taking accutane, but hopefully the derm will know about the benefits of a higher cumulative dose for avoiding relapses in the acne."
...
"I would like to add that if any of you are thinking about trying to get a prescription for low dose accutane, make sure you research and make an informed decision. It is a drug that is not to be taken lightly, and can even have bad effects"
