Stunted growth with acne medications

Anybody hear of accutane the medicine stunting growth of your penis? I know for a fact it has stunted my overall growth because I took it in middle school when I was like 13 i didn't grow that much after Taking it. I had really bad acne back then and the medicine was the last resort so I took it. I guess the dr didn't see anything wrong with me taking it because I was already 6 foot lol. Yeah if I would have known that it would have stunted my height that bad I wouldn't have taken it. I would have bad acne scars like my parents but I would probaly be happier with my self.
Responses are appreciated

If you were 6 feet tall at 13, how tall are you now? Why do you feel stunted?

You should be happy with yourself regardless, that is how you can use the exercises here to your advantage, love yourself so that others can love you as well.

All I know about accutane is that it is a form of vitamin A, and that it treats acne, and since your doctor prescribes it for you, I think it is safe to assume that he found no ill effects on you from its use.

Just eat healthy, and exercise, and put in some time for PE and you will do good, improved health, and increased EQ are the real deal, size gains are just the bonus.

Acne was a tough battle for me.

You do not know that as a fact, correlation is not causation. At 14 I was already my full adult height or within an inch of it, you were just an early developer. Don't blame it unwarranted on the acne medication.
