i am coming near the end of my accutane treatment. i weigh 51kg (roughly 112 lbs) and am on 50mg. my course is complete in 2 weeks. i am still breaking out in cysts, and my chin is covered in white heads that are deep in the skin. is accutane just not working for me? or can i expect it to clear even after my course is done?
I am a 21 year old female. 51 kg. I'm on my 6th month of accutane. My acne is gone, but I only have scars left. I get at least 1 pimple during menustration that vanishes in 2 days or so. My doctor recommended me to take it for another month. Is it safe?
I've been on accutane for 2 months and a half now with moderate reoccuring cystic acne, but i see no difference, my skin is not dry at all and just less oily. I weigh 125lbs and i'm 178cm I took 30mg for the first month then 40mg and now started 60mg as my dermatologist was concerned i wasn't dry and i am still getting new pimples maybe 5 times a week, like before. . I'm wondering if Accutane may not be working for me and whether i should continue as its very costly for me.
I weigh around 115 Ibs and my dermatologist put me on a dosage of 50 mg a day for accutane. I take one 20 mg pill in the morning and one 30mg pill at night. I just started the medication less than a week ago and have not experienced any side affects yet but Im worried its too high of a dosage. Ive seen people are usually started with 20-30 mg a day. Should I ask my dermatologist if I can just go down to 30mg a day?
I am just starting my journey tomorrow. 30mg 1x per day to start / I weigh 115# / Female 48, non-child bearing I also read eating too much fish and dark greens is not good due to the Vitamin A it contains. I typically consume salmon and often another fish 1-3x per week and love my mixed green salads for lunch, along with kale ocassionally.
Although it's been 2 complete months so far,I feel like my case is stable and the changes I see are minor. However my derm says there's no way the pill isn't working since I am experiencing side effects. So my question is whether it should concern me that after 2 months(out of 5 supposedly) on it, I still don't see my skin clearing up and im still getting pimples. Does this mean my course will be extended?if so what's the longest it can go for someone of my weight?
I am 20 year old girl turning 21in a month with moderate acne. I am about 158 cm tall and weigh 54 kg. My dermatologist told me that 20 mg is most likely enough for me and that I don't need to reach 120mg/kg. This is my first day taking 20 mg. She said that new researches show it's not necessairy. But I am worried that it will not work for persitent acne or that I will relapse. Can I have an opinion on this?
