Accutane damages the liver among other things, including causing mental issues (depression, etc) that are linked to the liver.

Do a series of liver (gallbladder) flushes. Some of the benefits of Liver Flushing just happen to be skin improvement, softer skin, release of emotions, feelings of well being, etc.

Milk thistle is also good for the liver.

You might be malnourished from poor uptake of nutrients (from accutane and lack of bile from a damaged / clogged liver and gallbladder) or you are not getting proper nutrients in your diet. Make sure you are getting lots of B vitamins and healthy fats. Silica, vitamin C and MSM (sulfur) are great for skin. Whole eggs provide a lot of this stuff. Eggs are fed to dogs to improve their coat (hint hint). Gelatin is good for hair and nails. Your hair and nails will grow faster when you eat gelatin.

If you strip skin with soaps and cleaners the body can try to overcompensate and over-produce oils and sebum. Like when people use chapstick and moisturizers too much and become addicted to them because the body stops producing it's own natural moisturizers.

Use cold or luke warm water to wash skin, never hot water. Humans didn't wash with hot water until just recently in evolution. Hot water "cooks" the skin in a sense, damages and strips it.

Give your skin time to adjust and heal, be kind to yourself and don't stress it. Stress taxes the liver and a bad liver causes stress, causing a bad cycle that you are probably in right now.

Hi 175,

As "grist for your mill," are you aware of the almost miraculous results many tens (hundreds?) of THOUSANDS of people have experienced, dealing with most of the health issues known to humankind, from ingesting ascorbic acid?

If you are seriously interested in finding a solution to your health problem, and gaining greater health in ALL areas of your body, I STRONGLY encourage you to read this article written by Dr. Robert Cathcart, M.D. http://vitamincfoundation.org/www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm

It may just solve some or all of your problem. You have only better health and well-being to gain by applying its recommendation. What have you got to lose?

These two quotes are instructive:

"There are more than ten thousand scientific papers that make it quite clear that there is not one body process (such as what goes on inside cells or tissues) and not one disease or syndrome (from the common cold to leprosy) that is not influenced - directly or indirectly - by vitamin C." -- Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., Dr. Marshall Ringsdorf, D.M.D., and Dr. Emily Sisley, THE VITAMIN C CONNECTION.

“I have never seen a patient that Vitamin C would not benefit.” -- Dr. Frederick Klenner, M.D.

I wish you BEST success, 175, in your search for a solution to your health issue!

Sincerely,

David

Please look at above post 9/16 -- I would think the selenium sulfide shampoo 2.5 % would work well as well as some dietary advise (no sugars, lower carb intake).

23yr old female I have had severe and horrible Acne since I was in 4th grade! My 4th grade teacher even sent me to the nurses office for chicken pox. How emberassing! Iam almost 24 now. I just started accutane 4 months ago. I read on here that a lot of people were really bothered by the side effects. The first month was the worst, super dry skin & super dry lips. But for me having Acne my whole life, I really didnt care about any of the side effects. All you need is a good moisturizer and a gentle face wash (I use redness relief from Eucerin). Ohh yeah and blistex or carmex. None of that fruity stuff. I have one more month of accutane to take. The last time I saw my skin this clear I was in the 3rd grade!!! I had it on my back, chest, shoulders, arms, and of course my face! I decided every day on what to wear by where, and how bad I was broken out. It was such a depresesing, and emberassing feeling. Bathing suit season was horrifying. I had to find tops to cover up my back. Anyways this is the best thing thats happened to me. I feel like a completely different person. More confident, and more free to live life how others do.
