The Wonders of Accutane

Christian has spent much of his teenage years with uncontrollable acne. No matter what we did - over the counter & prescription oral and topical meds - his acne would not improve.

So a few months ago, he started taking the infamous acne medication, Accutane. It really wasn't a path I wanted to take because it requires monthly bloodwork (Christian has a fear of needles), and monthly doctor visits.  But it was time ... we had done everything else.

Several months later, his face is looking so much better and far less enflamed.  I am so impressed!

This photo was taken at his dermatologist appointment today. He's such a good looking kid ... but he just doesn't see it.
