My dermatologist is about to prescribe me Accutane. What should I do to mitigate purge and other side effects like liver damage?

accutane is really safe, i wouldnt really care about liver damage. just do the bloodwork they assign and youll be fine.

also how much mgs are you gonna take?

me personally I'd just use clindamycin phosphate 1% as a spot treatment for when you breakout or just apply all over your face. What this does it kills acne bacteria and acne CAUSING bacteria, apply this every morning after your cleanser. I don't know your routine but if you feel free to share it I can help you maximize it the best way possible. Make sure you got TUBES I mean TUBES of Vaseline on deck for your lips. Accutane lips are no joke. Maybe pin sum ghkcu like 5mg a day or some balance with zinc if you want to fade acne scarring / pie pih and youthful more appearance for collagen. that can just be an add on to the Accutane, me personally I just went the topical route and use tretinoin every night. I've had a great experience so far, all my friends say my skin is drastically clearing up.

Use a antihistamine to help prevent the purge, id recomend 10mg cetrizine and get a good thick non comedongenic moisturiser paired with a cleanser designed for dry skin, im on my 2nd month of 80mg accutane and ive had a little purge at the start but its starting to look clear now.
