aren’t there certain medical treatments that require you to take birth control for x number of weeks bc they could harm a potential fetus? I can’t remember a specific example.
Accutane. It’s based on vitamin A and will do all sorts of nasty stuff to fetuses.
The alternative would be incredibly oily skin, then, right?
I had acne as a kid but not that bad. Tetracycline or Erythromycin were enough for them. Still, I’d see that like “dressing in layers”. Just like you can always add more layers but there’s a point where you can’t take them off…it’s probably easier to re-moisturize dry skin than to de-lipidize oily skin.

Also to your skin. I was dried out for like 5+ years
That’s for serious cystic acne though isn’t it?

Idk, it wasnt super crazy, but I had tried a broad spectrum antibiotic that didn’t do much, so a dermatologist recommended acutane. It worked
