Treatment of Acne is Most succesful with successful

acne covered her face and left scars on her neck. "I had tried everything and felt frustrated all the time," says Harper, now a physician and assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Alabama-Birmingham--a career she chose due in large part to her struggle with acne.

Harper finally found a successful treatment nine years ago at the age of 22. She took a drug called isotretinoin (trade name Accutane) and watched her skin improve in just a couple of months. By the third month, her acne had disappeared. She says with clearer skin came more self-confidence and higher self-esteem.

Considered the biggest breakthrough in acne drug treatment over the last 20 years, Accutane is the only drug that has the potential to clear severe acne permanently after one course of treatment. (See "Why Acne Forms, and How Accutane Knocks It Out.") One course, which is typically five months, results in prolonged remission of acne in up to 85 percent of patients.

A member of a class of drugs known as retinoids, Accutane is highly effective. But it doesn't work for everyone, and some patients need more than one course of treatment. Dr. Harper took a second course of Accutane one year after the first and has been free of severe acne ever since, now only occasionally using a topical medication.
