Hello Hope,

I would strongly suggest that you consider all information about Accutane before taking it.

Accutane Side Effects:

If you want to lower your acne, it is a good idea to get a hormone test.
Have you been diagnosed with PCOS?
Slow thyroid? Fast thyroid?
Any cycle problems?

Some women get good results from Ortho Tri-Cyclen for their acne, especially while doing an herbal NBE program. An infinitely better solution than Accutane in my opinion.

Some herbs you can take:

Palmetto (at least 3000mg per day),
Pumpkin Seed Oil (Dosage recommended on the bottle),
Hops (Take in *at least* equal amounts with fenugreek,
Mint tea once or twice per day.
Topical Vitamin A

Stay away from EPO as an internal.
Address diet - remove starchy and refined carbs. Get protein and healthy fats.
Borage oil would be good - inside and out.
EXERCISE!

EveM's program would be a good one for you. I am a big proponent of this program. This is a long term program so don't expect to see results immediately. A product you could take would be Wonderup, but EveM's Program still is a little better in your case because you have the freedom to adjust the herbs and take acne into account. Your age and acne situation appear to support the use of hops.

What do you think?
