I have acne problem for the past 10 years. I have seen many doctors and mainly they said is due to my hormone imbalance. What exactly is hormance imbalance? Is there any cure? Recently I was given a method is to take accutane pill. Is this pill safe? And do I really need to take for 8 months?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Hormones can influence acne. This is one of the reasons, that it is common in adolescents.

Acne is due to a combination of factors: (1) inflammation of the skin (2) blockage of hair follicles (3) excess sebum production (4)presence of a particular bacteria

Accutane is commonly use for acne, it is very effective and should work for you.
There are side effects that may or may not occur.

It should be taken for the time prescribed if you want a good response.

I hope this helps
