Is my dermatologist right about my acne?

I haven't taken Accutane but I am an esthetician and have known lots of people on it and as bad as it is for you, IT WORKS! Everyone I know who took it is acne free years later. Your only 14 that's young enough your body will recover wonderfully. That other tetrocylcine medication will work as well but usually only while you are on it. Sometimes it takes a bit of time but it's rare for one round to work permanently. The side effects of being on it for a long time are that it's an antibiotic and taking it for a long time will cause your body to become resistant to it so God forbid if something happened where you needed to take antibiotics, they may not work on you. (this happened to my friend). You may be happy with the results of the minocylcine right now but I doubt they are permanent. If I were 14 and had your problem, I would take accutane because it may cure your problem forever. They say it works for a few years but by then you may have grown out of your problem with hormones changing and stuff. Good luck.
