Teenage Acne (Medium-Severe)
I am a 16 year old male, who suffers from what I would say is cystic acne. I've tried several antibiotics, and topical treatments, but nothing clears my skin. I want to know what else there is and if acutane is my only other option. Thanks

For severe nodulocystic acne, acutane is the ideal treatment for the control. If it is given in low doses there is not much side effects except dryness of lips
