Can a 12 year old take acne pills called acneticin?

Question

I am 12 and I have tried everything to try to cure acne. I have heard these pills are effective and I'm wondering if they will help me with my acne problems....

Answer 1

Don't even consider taking oral medication for acne! Here's a case study for you: Accutane, another oral acne medication causes severe depression and mild psychosis. Note: this is not a side effect; this happens in most patients.

On top of that, it causes serious photosensitivity (read: sunlight allergy), which may linger for long after you stop taking the pill.

Look into tanning as a treatment for acne (sunlight treats many skin conditions) and get your hands on some ProActive. One of my coworkers used it and it made an enormous difference! Consider consulting a dermatologist.

Answer 2

Being that young you should definitely talk to a dermatologist.  But being 12 with acne is nothing to be ashamed of, as about half of your classmates will suffer the same problems until you around your later teen years

Answer 3

Consult with your health care provider

Answer 4

I took Accutane, and it worked for me.  I had to wear chapstick for years and still can't be in a room with a fan on because my lips and eyes are a little dry, but it got rid of the acne!  I'm really glad I used Accutane.

Tanning will give you cancer, and it can agrivate acne.  Bad idea.
