Acutane or Diane-35

[Jessica]

I am 22 and have been using various acne treatments for years with only moderate results.  Recently I noticed a new drug advertised called diane-35 which has just become available in Canada.  I am considering this or acutane, but had severe side affect from depro-prevera and I'm now worried about taking more hormone theraphy, advise?

[Jessica]

I have been on several treatments for acne, including topical dalacin c, erythromycin and currently oxytetracycline together with Retin-A topically. however i am still suffering from breakouts and am considering commencing dianette(combined oral contraceptive). Please could you advise me re. this and potential disadvantages/side effects of this treatment.

Diane 35 peut causer la perte des cheveux sur la tele ?

[Julie]

I am 31 years old and have battled acne and cistic acne (severe) since I was about 17. I have spent soooo much money and seen over 5 dermatologists. I have tried anibiotics,topical creams and cleansing, just about every cleansing product on the market,and nothing seems to help. I have scarring all over my cheek area and cists not only on my face but under my ear lobe. I was just wondering about Diane-35 and acutane. I have an appointment with a NEW dermatologist soon and I dont want to leave there (after being intimidated and told that my skin is not bad enough for acutane) being treated with the same old routine things. Please help
Sincerely,
FED UP

can diane 35 cause thinning or hair loss on your head? I have noticed that my hair has become thinner since taking Diane...I am also under a lot of stress which may be the cause, but I can't help wondering if Diane may be causing this. Any thoughts?

I take accutane and in 4 days is the end of my traitement and I am worry do you think my acne will come back when I stop. I take it six month but do you know if I can continue my traitement over it. Thank you.

I have a friend who is on Acutane and is experiencing night sweats.  They have been so bad lately that she walks up and has to change her pajamas becuase they are so wet.  Is this a possible side effect of Acutane?  If not, do you have any idea what might be causing it?
