As a professional's opinion, is my best advice. As soon as he sees it is working, there goes the depression and he is lifted. And, it does start working pretty fast. Give him a new mind set, give him a future and just go and see what the doctor has to say.

He is l8 girls, almost a man for heavens sake. You are not dealing with a child any longer making decisions for him. Give him the options and let him make his own mind up what he wants to do. Is he over weight as well, does he dress well? Ask him.

I don't know about Canada, but in doing some more research Accutane was pulled from the market in the US in 2009.

There are a lot of other meds on the market and a proper professional would know how to deal with this young man's problem. Like I said, he is l8, he should be able to make this decision to see a dermatologist himself. No young person nowadays has to suffer through this especially with medical insurance in place to take care of expenses.

Sorry I took so long to get back on this site (it's xmas holidays... ). I've been so so busy :-/

Okay well he doesn't dress as he'd like to because presently he's depressed over his situation and is eating and gaining weight. He's insecure about his face... he stays home all the time. He's not wearing the styles out there that he tells me he'd love to wear due to his weight issues. He literally LIVES in hoodies and jeans. He wants to be zitless, 20pds lighter and "styling" but he's become very introverted and distant with his friends... and to add insult to injury he failed his semester and has to redo it. He's trying to keep busy now with that new guitar his family bought him for xmas... (since he would rather be alone they thought he should have a better hobbie than going on line and on this site called habbo hotel where he has this avitar and a ton of cyber friends... ). We are all very worried about this young man. He's very handsome under his acne, HONESTLY. He also has braces on presently which are making his teeth look pretty unruley as they are moving a few that were "impacted" so it's a big job and currently they're not looking so good (just making a list of his reasons that he went from social to antisocial, from his mouth in a personal conversation recently... ). He goes to this new school and he has no friends there... I think that if he AT LEAST didn't have skin problems everything else would find a way... but accutane scares me due to the side affects. Not sure about it... hmmmm :-/
