Category: Accutane News
A silent epidemic of unspeakable injuries continues to follow this drug, but we see nothing in the media about it. I predict that as the litigation over these injury cases heats up, people will finally have a chance to learn about the dangers of IBS, suicide and other adverse events related to Accutane. Nobody wants their guts cut out.
Acne Scar Treatment
Category: Accutane News
Recently, a South African plastic surgeon developed a needling device that can be used for acne scarring. He noticed that patients who had tattoos never wrinkled (or wrinkled much less) in the areas where the tattoos were placed. He theorized that by producing thousands of pricks through the skin, an injury underneath the surface of the skin is produced which leads to an inflammatory cascade. This then induces collagen production to the area and the sunken scar is elevated. Because the skin surface is not removed, the color does not change. This finding could lead to improved treatment for acne scars.

The drug's old pregnancy prevention program was voluntary. It wasn't always heeded, a new report shows.
