Accutane is being prescribed for rosacea more than ever according to anecdotal reports. More reports of accutane treatment for rosacea in low dose prescriptions seem to be the current popular treatment without much discussion on the risks and side effects.  Accutane was initially used to treat acne but has become quite common to hear of physicians prescribing it for rosacea. Particularly pregnant women should be warned clearly of the risks associated with accutane. A rosacean should ask his doctor what are the risks associated with taking accuatane, including the side effects and determine if the risks are worth the benefits. This what is called the risk-benefit analysis. If you decide to accept risks of this treatment,  you will discover later what these risks are for yourself but at least you were warned. Taking Accutane without considering the risks is like jumping into a dark deep hole blind folded. What you land on could hurt later.
