After you pass out you will regain consciousness. 2. Immediately go and brush your teeth (twice). 3. Repeat step one. If you have not passed out, or lost consciousness the brushing was a success. You can also substitute cupping your hands over your mouth and nose for another person. Just breath directly into their face. yes, it works because the flouride it contains prevents gum decay which eventually leads to tooth loss if you dont use it. it can also whiten teeth over time (depending on the minerals and substances inside). it is a very good idea to use liquid flouride too, like listurine to kill the germs and strengthen your teeth.

cold sores really deaden the skin near it and actually feels cold and seemingly runs deep into your flesh like a wart and is extremely unpleasant, while a pimple is generally red and has a big pus filled pocket that is white or yellowish sprouting from it and in my experience only hurts if you touch it. Cold sores also appear generally on around the mouth and do not sprout from the skin like a zit does, that and cold sores are fifty times as obnoxious as pimples.

Is accutane a good thing to take?

not really. i am currently on accutane and have noticed the following side effects

1)extremely chapped lips- you will get this 100% guaranteed

2)joint pain- its only bad when i workout and mainly my lower back

3)depression-yes, it has made me more reclusive. no thoughts of suicide or anything but just a little less social.

is it worth it? yes, without a doubt. first month it might get worse but then it gets better.

my suggestions: keep chapstick (i found burts beez wax to be the best) with you at all times. and also lotion close by. you will be applying chapstick every few hours and lotion at least once a day.

ANSWER

I'd mainly agree with that. My first month and a half was a living hell though- not to try and scare you or anything. I am going into my 3rd month and my acne is still pretty severe and I am definitely more reclusive (but no suicidal thoughts). There are some big risks, but those side effects are less common. You should still get tested regularly to make sure you are still healthy and use a lot of vasaline and moisterizer!
