Wow! Old article!

Go get your hormones checked. A testosterone imbalance may cause acne. And it's more than testosterone. If one hormone is out of balance, it can throw the whole thing off. PCOS can cause acne in women.

Here's an example: If prolactin levels are high, one will make "milk". But if prolactin levels are normal, one may still make milk if testosterone is too low.

Whenever something goes wrong with your body, realize that it's probably a *symptom* not the problem in and of itself. Yes, treat the symptom, but don't forget to look for the root cause. In the end, you may be right. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. But too many times it's is not!

A program like this is needed in Canada. My daughter was 7 weeks pregnant BEFORE taking Accutane, went for a pregnancy test and was told to go ahead and start taking the drug if she never heard back from the Dermatologist. 10 days passed and she took 13 doses over 26 days and then stopped because she got a rash. 2 months later she discovered she was pregnant. She has since found out that the initial test was positive, but the doctor never called with the results because they went on 10 days holoidays. We definitly need something like the iPledge program here, and I have been in contact with them. As for the health of my Grandson, I guess we will know that in 4 months.
