….so you’re agreeing with what the other video person is saying but just elaborating further. Why the head shake? Root cause: comedonal, ****hormonal issues, skin picking
“Comedonal” is not a root cause, it’s a type of acne.
It’s also important to understand how statistics work. A few % of people is still a lot of people.
Dr. Dray specifically said “isotretinoin can cure acne” but the original video poster seems to be stating that it does not work for anyone
My first round of Accutane only worked temporarily. But the second round cured it. Even if it didn’t work for you the first time, give it a second try. Especially if you have very oily skin (like i did). Also you can take a very low dose of isotretinoin to keep it from returning.
Sorry for asking.. how very high dose of accutane can make acne come back?
The fear mongering around accutane is so harmful. I feel like it prevents people from trying it. Many people i know who’ve taken accutane (myself included) all wish they’d done it sooner, even if it took 2 or 3 courses to see complete recovery from acne. The confidence clear skin gives you is worth the side effects accutane brings. I would do it again.
Agreed. I read so many horror stories online about Accutane, but I think most of them are people with pre-existing conditions they attribute to the Accutane.
@@SpykerSpeed agreed. Not saying there aren’t negative effects, but for the majority of people if you were depressed before (because of acne) then you’re probably gonna be depressed during treatment, till it clears. Thankfully medications like this exist to help people. The difference between having acne and clear skin is life changing.
Because it can effect people in different ways, i took it for 6 months, on full dose (unknown to me) and about 6 weeks later a started to develop abdominal pains, and in the end i had developed an autoimmune condition of the liver, 100% caused by Accutane. Its the only drug ive ever taken where the doctor has sent me out into the waiting area to read a leaflet and consider if i want to go ahead with taking the drug and yes, that leaflet was mainly about potential liver failure.
@@ZeroCoolBoss I’m sorry that happened to you. You’re right too, medications affect everyone differently. Some people experience minimal side effects while others have more severe side effects. Working closing with your dermatologist and health care providers to access how your individual response to the medication is really important. I hope your health has improved since taking accutane ♥️. I only say that there is too much fear mongering around accutane, because there is. For a medication that can be incredibly helpful to a lot of people there should be more education on how it works and who is and isn’t a good candidate. Some people have pre existing health conditions that make them poor candidates for accutane. For example, if someone only had one kidney or in their initial labs it was indicated they had poor liver function, taking accutane may not be the best option for them. All medications have risks associated with them.
@@andrewhuntington5618 Unfortunately in recent years, had skin and kidney cancer, the knock on effect of being on immunosuppressed, which all go’s back to being on Accutane. Accutane, at the time cleared my skin but after about 2 weeks my acne started to come back when i came off it, but going onto immunosuppressants actually cleared my skin and never had acne again. I definitely know and understand what having bad Acne can do to your mental health but if i could go back in hindsight, i would stay clear.
But she is right isn’t the she, the cause itself is not gone, taking those meds, with people who succesfully got rid of their acne, what is the cause and why did it stop for them? most of the time its something Hormonal/inflamatory, i think most of Humans don’t realize what inflamatory foods we always put into our Body, had very Bad Acne once, stopped eating gluten and excess sugar, and it’s now gone atleast for me.
Sigh. It’s too much work to explain something like this on a weekend but there’s decades worth of research to support spiro, BC or accutane to help cure acne.
Have you actually taken it? Pretty strong opinions for someone who hasn’t taken it or studied it in college. I was on accutane. No, it doesn’t permanently sure it and NEVER CLAIMED IT WOULD. But what it does it make it WAY less severe when it does come back. Now my breakouts are minor like what an average person gets during their cycle. Not cystic nodules so big, swollen, and numerous that people are constantly asking if I’m ok because they assume I have an allergic reaction to something. Misinformation stops people from towing a life changing MEDICINE for a medical condition. Have you experienced having to live a normal life with severe cystic acne that covers the entire face? Going to job interviews like that? It affects your quality of life l, down to your income. It is absolutely life changing for those who need it.
yes,she has some points at least. And your comment is correct too. Sebeacous gland become “aggressive” when there are triggers such as dairy,sugar,lack of sleep etc. But peopleare so biased. They will hate everyone whom dr Dray againsts. Even the people are not completely wrong like the pharmacist. I’m acne survivor for years.. so I do study and research about this too so I can say the pharmacist are not totally wrong actually.
the “root cause” is genetically over active sebaceous glands. It is well known that sugary foods make acne worse, it is backed up by research,you didn’t come up with anything new here
Accutane got ride of my acne for a year or two. It’s been a long time I can’t remember exactly how long. I got on Accutane about 22 years old. Then I found out at 26 I had pcos. Idky my dermatologist never suggested hormonal issues but after going to dr and mentioning me getting face hair all sudden at fast rates. She told me I had pcos and I took test and I did. But I will say I don’t think my acne had ever got as bad as it was but the acne started going in places on my face that I didn’t have scarring and left acne scars. I never hardly popped pimples. Idky I scar so easily it is usually the big ones or tiny ones that scar the most.
Freedom of speech is a fundamental right, but it should not extend to the dissemination of misinformation, especially regarding well-established scientific facts. Misusing this right to mislead others undermines the pursuit of truth and can have serious consequences for public understanding and health. It’s essential to promote informed discourse that respects the integrity of scientific knowledge.
I took Accutane for over a year. Since mine was hormonal. I was 22 and now I’m 34. I get an occasional small breakout but not too often.
If hormonal acne,werent you supposed to take spiro instead of accutane,were you?
@@SarahEve97 I did try Spiro. Along with many other RXs and treatments. I had been going to the same dermatologist since I was 15 for the acne. Nothing helped. I switched to a different dermatologist and he immediately prescribed Accutane. He told me I would have to take it for at least a year for it to have lasting results.
Again, why would skin picking disorder lead to a relapse in acne after completing a course of accutane?? 😵💫
I regress taking it, it gave me alopecia, and i always loved my long hair.
And Alopecia is for life.
Hate that the doctor said it afterwards, and not before.
I’ve been on iso twice and my acne has come back but never to the same degree. If I wanted to go back on it I would probably be told no because it’s not as severe as it was back then. That’s being said, the acne I have now still bothers me and the hyperpigmentation is especially annoying.
💡 This just made me realize the problem with doctors. The important statements are not emphasized instead it’s told you very casually. Like oh yeah it could come back for some people.
