Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Dear Group, As an addendum to my earlier post, I'd like to thank Dr. Nase for his wonderful book. The info on accutane and photoderm are incredibly thorough and encouraging. It's a shame that so many US derms are so woefully ignorant on the use of low-dose accutane to treat this terrible disease; looks like derms in Europe are far more open-minded and enlightened. Some of this research has been out since the 80's, yet most derms still won't let us try this potent & potentially life-changing drug. Some good news to report: I found a derm in NJ who is open to trying low-dose accutane after aggressive antibiotic therapy. She even is willing to look at the literature I've collected. Good luck to all, Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 That's good news Heidi. Finding a derm who will work with you and review the information you've collected so far has to be very helpful. I'm lucky to have two like that. When I receive Dr. Nase's book I'm going to let both of them have a look at it when I have my next appointments. I see them pretty regularly. They both know how hard cea is to treat. Low dose Accutane worked good for me when I used it. I started more Photoderm treatments today so I had to stop the Accutane around the first of the year. Congrats on finding a Derm. > Dear Group, > > As an addendum to my earlier post, I'd like to thank Dr. Nase for his > wonderful book.
