Oratane is right:)
but yeah,
both oratance and roaccutane are nasty though, they work magic but they're nasty! and you'll either be a person who has very few side effects or you'll experience some really awlful shit. You have to get blood work done all the time to test liver function and you cant drink...and its pretty annoying...
but like said its worth it because then you look perrrrrrrrrty
:uhhuh:

Nose bleeds are the worst...

haha, yes you do!!the cravings get even worse

i can't imagine living without junk, and people who say that junk causes pimples dont know what they're talking about. There is no connection between hormonal control and oil production in the skin and eating for eg a chocolate bar. I eat junk food all the time(not literally) and dont get pimples, and some of my friends have a very clean diet and have bad acne.

I mean a good diet helps overall health, so by all means stick to one, but it won't influence whether you break out tomorrow morning or not. And in many cases things like chocolate are good for you, they increase endorphins, and endorphins make you happy! and that is so true, im very satisfied after eating a chocolate bar:p

no...i think the worst is having to be sent for CAT scans and ultrasounds becuase your GP suspects liver damage even though you aren't presenting with any real symptoms!

oddly enough..i never had nose bleeds

i would go on it again in a second though...awesome stuff

I had a bit of blood work done... but that was it.. I never got that scarey stuff... (CAT scans n the like).

I didn't like the little brochure which warned me that if I coloured my hair I put myself at a greater risk of losing hair.. I was like ... :( my beautiful hair...

they sure can, i didnt really care, it was a part of my normal monthy test anyway, so they did it along with the other 100 things they checked for. Its so they dont get sued if you DO fall pregnant, even though they make you sign a contract before you start taking the medication that you won't hold the prescribing doctor liable if you do fall pregnant and your child is born without legs or a head-considering roaccutane/oratane are terotagenic....

im imagining they like to cover as many bases as possible

Yes, well, it beats going to the hairdresser and having to stare downwards the whole time because looking up at the mirror is depressing because of your face. I'm pretty sure about that.

I'm also pretty sure the junk food is a myth, never been any correlation for me.

I felt left out for a moment then...

well, before I realised I was male and didn't get pregnant - thus why I didn't need to be tested....

hangovers are a bitch.

Question:
I have maybe 6 really nasty pimples JUST ON MY CHIN all month long. They sit there, blind and huge, for days. The rest of my skin is fine, and my chin's not oily or anything so I'm guessing they're hormonal pimples. If my diet was causing them, they'd be all over my face, right?

Do doctors only give the pill+pimplefixer to people with acne? Or would I be able to have it, too?

I need to see the GP soon to get a new script for my pill, so it would be nice if I could clear up my damn chin while I'm at it.

Like I said before, if you don't have bad skin to start off with then eating junk food won't make you break out. There are many people who don't get pimples at all but they still have uneven skin tone and big pores. I think that must be the result of a poor diet. But whatever works for you I guess.

By the way, I don't crave junk food at all! In fact eating it makes me feel sick. :s

Do you touch your chin often?

I know I would have more pimples on the left side of my face where I rested it in my hands all the time, than anywhere else.

Avoid touching your face with your hands so that there isn't a constant transfer of nasty oils and dirts.

If something as simple as that doesn't sound like it would be the problem (or make the problem worse perhaps), I'd consult someone who knows what they are talking about - the faithful GP.

hmm I don't have pimples where I rest my hand, and I avoid touching my chin because those few pimples hurt a lot. But I tend to brush my chin with my hand to see if any of my pimples have grown a head. I'm a picker, it's a bad habit.

I'll try not to touch them, but I'll still ask the GP while I'm there. Thanks.
