Is my grammar in this ok?
Doesn't need a thesis. Just using this to see if there are any grammar rules I need to work on.

Accutane is essentially a form of vitamin A. It's prime objective is to reduce the operation of oil glands, often permanently, thus reducing the quantity of and preventing nodulic pimples from forming. The drug intends not only that, but the reduction of active nodules as well. The many who seek this drug are not always exclusively in regards to acne vulgaris depletion, but prevention of prominant scarring as well.
While accutane is the most effective nodulic acne treatment, it is one of the most dangerous and caution-required drugs in terms of drugs. These precautions, if contrived legally, are unmissed. It is very difficult to recieve this drug.
There are side effects for every drug, but accutane's are more occuring than in most drugs. This factor has the FDA very cautious about this drug, as they should be. Side effects may include: Thinning of skin, depression, severe dryness, hairloss, pink eye, loss of vision, nose bleeds, joint pain, nail changes, liver damage, hearing impairment, psychosis, violent behavior, decreased white blood cell count, raised cholestorol, ect.
I'm currently enrolled in my second treatment now. Through these two treatments, I've experienced: depression, severe dryness, loss of vision, nose bleeds, joint pain and raised cholestorol. While I can perform physical activity, I become sore much easier. Minimal physical activity can cause me to go soar for one to three days. I've been enduring this a lot lately, and it has been restrictive to my health. I've had to constrict food intake to make safe that I don't gain any weight.
How did you get rid of your acne? How old were you?
I am almost 20 years old and I am so fed up with this acne. I've had it since i was 13 and it won't go away. It's a combination of blackheads, whiteheads, papules and pustules. Just everything, I think it's called acne vulgaris. Im not hoping for 100 percent clear skin but its like no matter what i do, it's all there!
So what worked for you?
oh and I have tried going to the derm. Retin-A and antibiotics seems to help a little but not very much.
Information about Accutane?
I have had a huge problem with acne vulgaris (nodular/cystic) for the past 3 years. I have tried literally everything - over the counter washes, topicals, cremes, etc. I have gone to the doctor and been prescribed oral and topical antibiotics, retin-A, and a few others. I used Proactiv for a year, (never worked) and now I'm on AcneFree Severe System (for a week and a half so far) and I have seen little improvement. My boyfriend's sister works at a pharmacy and recommended I take Accutane. I've heard it can increase your chances of becoming suicidal is depresion runs in your family - and it does in mine. So what I'm asking, what can you all tell me about Accutane? And am I at risk with the depression issue if I go on Accutane?
What acne treatments and routines have worked for you?
I am medical student and have become interested in dermatology and I'm researching using many conduits. That being said I have seen a few individuals ranging in background, race etc. with acne problems and half the time, cold diagnosis doesn't work. Even seasoned dermatologist say it takes time to understand what works; its the people that tell you what to prescribe! I want to know about your skin treatments and routines. From scar treatments that have worked for you in conjunction with your acne treatments to curing full blown cases of acne vulgaris or acne without comedones. If you've seen a doctor for your acne, what were you diagnosed as, prescribed and did the treatment work? I understand this is somewhat private information but it could go a long way with helping another individual with their own personal bout with acne. I have 3rd party survey information but that doesn't give doctors a truly accurate idea of what works best as it is not that simple and they're often associated with a skin treatment retailer anyway. Only experience in what works does and I don't have that yet. Be honest and frank. If a popular product didn't work for you, say so but also include your usage. If you would miss a few treatments a month and so on. Of course diet and exercise have a lot to do with circulation of the blood to the skin, the amount of sebum one secrets and hormone levels so don't hold back any of that information too. I hope to get a big response as I would like to use this as a small sampling of testimonials from the simple to the complex.
Thanks in advance for your openness and participation!
