Hi I’m a 14 year old girl and Im 120 lbs and 5’9. I’m taking this pill to get rid of my acne. It’s called Accutane (Isotretinoin) and one of the side effects is raised cholesterol. My dermatologist told me that my cholesterol is 178 and she said it needs to be 170 or lower. So how can I lower my cholesterol and also what does all this mean? Thanks! 🙂

I was reading on wikipedia that cooking an egg oxidizes the cholesterol, and makes it more harmful. What does that mean? If it’s not cooked, the cholesterol is less harmful…? Obviously if you get salmonella poisoning, though rare, you probably wouldn’t be concerned with the cholesterol at that moment, but I am still intrigued.
