if your acne is severe (nodules, cysts, etc.) it wouldn't hurt to ask your dermatologist about it. however, if you just have mild acne you're not going to get it. accutane is a serious last resort drug that should only be used by people with severe and in some cases very persistent moderate acne.Can i ask my dermatologist for accutane?
Yes, that is exactly what you should do. Talk with your dermatologist about your acne treatment options. Ask about accutane, or any other options available. He/she should be able to guide you to what will work best. Don't be disappointed he you don't get a prescription acne treatment. Many acne medications are very powerful and can have some severe side effects. If your doctor doesn't give you a prescription it means that your case of acne isn't severe enough to outweigh the risks of using prescription treatments.
