Acne
"Going on isotretinoin is a hard choice&mdash;there is the possibility of rare but seriously harmful side effects. BUT acne was affecting my life and social outings severely. Fortunately, the only side effect I&#039;ve experienced is extremely chapped lips/skin, besides purging at the start. One day without some sort of lip ointment (I recommend the godsend known as Aquaphor) and your lips are flakier than a croissant. 

On my 5th month now and my skin looks amazing (I have no bumps/pustules, just some hyperpigmented spots). Even though there&rsquo;s still time for things to go south, I just wanted to chime in my positive experience. For me, it has been 110% worth it. All I can say is don&rsquo;t feel pressured into taking isotretinoin, but you shouldn&rsquo;t be afraid to try it."
