Accutane for acne treatment as explained by Pediatric Dermatologist Dr. Swanson in Boise

[@MikiTheMighty]

You give of such a positive and kind energy!

[@adawestdermatology9834]

She's really is a genuinely kind and positive provider!

Be careful! I took Roaccutane for folliculitis on my chest. The degree of the side effects, particularly depression, were never fully explained to me and I suffered some kind of mental / emotional thing after 3 weeks. The dry skin was bad too - had to take vaseline with me everywhere and apply it to lips every 10-15mins, and literally had to place my spectacles over my ears to put them on because even the grease and sweat on my head had completely dried up. It did start to work for me but the side effects were so severe I had to come off it. Just be aware of how you are feeling mentally and I would suggest that you ensure someone close and reliable can supervise you as the treatment progresses. Good luck.

........I would add that the medical profession's attitude to teenagers on this drug who report feeling depression / suicidal is that this is due to their age, acne causing low self esteem and other teenage problems. Previously perfectly normal healthy teenagers have reported such mental problems when on Roaccutane. Please be careful.

Just wanna say thanks for this detailed vid especially part about fertility as that’s a huge concern of mine. My question is I strongly feel like that my acne prone skin is linked to hormonal issues and genetics. Is accutane going to stop my menstrual acne ??

[@mikewilson1747]

why is there no license on file for you in the Idaho medical board

[@IrishChola7]

The fact that she said she prescribes Accutane every day is troubling to me. I pray she's exaggerating. This isn't something that should be handed out like candy, it's a dangerous drug. A lady I used to work with took Accutane and it permanently messed up her eyesight. So thankful I never needed it. ☝🙏

My kids say everyone is on it. Their dermatologist seems to recommend it to almost everyone.

[@stephanieg9477]

I have to say I think this video is a very biased and potentially dangerous view promoting accutane and majorly down playing the dangerous side effects I know because I was on isotreinoin for 7 months and unless you’ve been on it you don’t know how it feels. I can’t believe that only 2 or 3 patients suffered hair loss??? since this happened I’ve researched and majority of people suffered this. I was not prepared for this side effect or warned about causing severe internal dryness resulting in injuries amd pains I’ve never felt before agony for a very long time. Not to mention mild joint pain .. mild?! Every joint was agony from my ankles to my elbows to my back and neck. Dry eyes could barely see was very worrying at night. Also very low mood dark thoughts depression worsened anxiety. I must add I was only on a considered very low dose of 20 then up to 40 per day. Did it get rid of my acne? Thank goodness after a very traumatic time on it yes so far.. meanwhile 7 months later my hair is still not the same still not regrown in thinned areas is very upsetting so would I go n it again? I honestly don’t think I could. Just wanted warn people this video makes it sound like a walk-in park so easy and I’m genuinely happy for those it is but for me it was not oh I’m 36 btw

[@Big3DREAMER]

Ya so I’ve heard that the side effects can be worse the later you take it in life. Not sure if that is true, but seems to be the lucky of the draw. I took it for 7 months at age 22 and was on 40 mg for a month then 60 mg and then 80 mg for 4-5 months. And i had some side effects but nothing too major. i will admit the mood one was tough. But the worse side effect I had was by face got a litter puffier/fatter in my jaw area.

[@gordonmcquarrie8649]

Totally agree. Doctors know this is the last resort as a treatment, and even call it the nuclear option! This is so obviously an advertisement.

[@jeffery7558]

This is the most soothing Accutane video I’ve watched. It’s awesome

[@SomeFrenchDude]

6:45 My dermatologist said I shouldn't try to have kids A WHOLE YEAR after taking it and that you can't give blood for THREE years after stopping taking the medication. Also, they changed the name because they had a bunch of lawsuits. This video is just an ad for Acitretin since it's probably the stuff you sell the most.

[@markcavandish1295]

This is so tremendously helpful. Thank you for your hard work.

[@Kunjuwa]

I read.somewhere that accutane can cause issues with vaginal dryness in the long run...can u comment about it?

[@shaywelch]

i talked to my gynecologist about this. she said no. different lubrication system.

[@Kunjuwa]

@@shaywelch thank you🤗

[@mimi-qz2ms]

Does accutane stunt growth?

[@bellarinastar]

You didn't mention what the oldest age is that you've treated?

[@shan22777]

i googled what accutane babies look like.... big regret, horrific!

[@youngchild9294]

Great, you made me google it and now I don't feel like eating my dinner.

[@jeffery7558]

@@youngchild9294 I’ll never Google it but I’m now so curious

[@vennhuny8559]

Is it like babies made during or after the patient was on accutane

[@userzal]

I'm 17yr old (high school student), I've been suffering from acne for almost 4 years now, it really affected my lifestyle and appearance. Acne changed my personality, Acne destroyed me, I've been fighting against it for such a long time using various of products and none of them worked. I visited a dermatologist 2 months ago (first time in 4 years) and he prescribed me some medications including Isotretinoin (Roaccutane). I had no clue whatsoever about this capsule nor about its side effects. I'm currently on my second month with this capsule, although I stopped using Isotretinoin for a week after my first *box* was finished, it didn't take long (2days) before my skin completely changed its path in an unimagineable way, I started getting the worse acne I could think of but thankfully I visited another dermatologist and she treated and currently does as her son, I did some blood tests and was given the green flag to continue with Accutane. I'm currently on low doses 10mg during Moday-Friday and 20mg during weekends, the side effects are slight and hopefully there will be more improvement upon my skin. Note: Pretty sure you've heard of it already but I'm just reminding you to drink lots of water, I mean alot!!

[@Czzs-gy8yx]

Update?

[@TheOXsidersBR]

[@jodeneesbend1417]

Through a dermatologist or your doctor.
