people that have used accutane and experienced all the side effects, i'm curious about the depression - is the depression caused by the drug itself or is it because you got a bad breakout/dry skin or whatever? did you even get an initial breakout? i've heard loads of horrible things about accutane and i kinda want to know more from people that have experienced it
On the topic of acne, I've managed to clear my skin up really well, it was super gross early 2013 and now it's so damn clean. I think about half a year ago someone (Mako?) commented on my skin, so, here :v:
Almost exactly a year ago, at its worse, also possibly the most unflattering photo ever:

Mid-way through the year, still a bit icky and lumpy:

I can only speak about my experience, but I believe it's mostly due to the acne itself - that's the self esteem killer. It's like how they put "chance of suicide" and suicidal thoughts on the 1 in 10,000,000 or whatever. I highly doubt the medicine is responsible, it's likely a part of the acne itself. Go look at most medicines and they'll say similar things. There [b]are[/b] potentially serious side effects to accutane though, it is a potent medicine, though the risks are small.
I was lucky enough to not get any breakouts. I stopped getting new spots as frequently, then spots started decreasing in size, my lips cracked, and then they just started going away over time. Felt really tired at parts though.
As for some of the long term side effects, no way of knowing if I had my liver murdered or whatnot, though it all seems good as of 3-4 years after!
Since you're in the UK, I imagine you'd be sent to a dermatologist if it was bad enough that you need it, and they'll go through it properly with you. I'm not actually sure if GPs have power of prescription for it.
Considering that I'm 16, I'm getting the zits and this shit, but not on my face
My back is covered with tiny zits, and they break really easily so my bed is covered with like little crumbs. It feels icky. Also, my chest. Completely red with small dots. I'm somewhat glad, because at least my face is a bit better. I say bit because my nose is completely covered in black heads.
how do you get rid of blackheads? my nose has them as well
you can get nose strips which you stick on and leave for 5 minutes then take it off and it pulls out all the gunk in your pores, then simply just use everyday exfoliating spot cream to keep them clean

Are you totally sure they're blackheads? They could be [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/comments/1fmg0t/some_more_information_about_sebaceous_filaments/"]sebaceous filaments[/URL], which are totally normal (and permanent, though there are ways to reduce the appearance)

The makeup is fine although I don't like the septum piercing personally.

I thought that the bottom picture makes him look like an older version of the kid from Bad Santa
I don't mean that offensively because he's also dopey or anything but you really look like an older version of him :v:
On the topic of acne, i just kinda grew outta mine. I used to get it horribly but now i get one or two zits every so often if that. Lookin' kinda frumpy today though, just chillin' drinkin' some tea.
