Acne
"My 19 year old son has been on Accutane for 4 months now. His face is much clearer but his 2nd month blood test showed his blood triglyceride levels had jumped from 120 to 730 (that&#039;s really high and bad). It&#039;s a rare side effect that tends to happen to people who may be genetically predisposed to diabetes and high cholesterol. He changed his diet from mostly junk food to a low fat, low sugar one so he could continue on Accutane, and his doctor put him on medication. Two weeks later and 10 pounds lighter his blood triglycerides were down to 65. His face continues to improve, he feels great, and has learned to really enjoy healthy eating. Moral: get those blood tests. The life you save may be your own."
