Started on 60mg I was having to many side effects so she put me on 30mg for the remaining 3 weeks. Towards the end of my 1st month going into my 2nd month OMG my face was BAD! She put me on 40mg for the second month, & I purged so bad. Now 2 weeks away from being in my 3rd month Im on 60mg and still breaking out! Every week its at least 3-4 new pimples! How long does this purge stage last Im sick of these new break outs! Once it looks like its getting better, then BOOM another sworm of pimples
I have been on accutane for 10 weeks now, starting of on 20, then 30, and now 40mg. I can only see minor improvements with breakouts still happening. Do I need a higher dosage? I weigh 66kg, I'm just worying as its a 6 month course and I'm not far from half way there. Leaving your personal experiences will mean a lot, thanks in advance
I am on accutane (2mo) and last night I popped a whitehead and my skin around the area peeled and I believe its infected now. Its red with two white bumps and the area is like wet? I dont know what to do please help
I was on isotretinoin for just over a year and had gone from cystic acne on my face and back to nothing. However post accutane, small closed comedones very deep within the skin which almost look rash like, have formed only on my forehead and I am very worried. Should I revisit my dermatologist and try accutane again or should I look into benzoyl peroxide creams or other topical creams? At the moment I am using a mild organic exfoliator, witch hazel and tea tree facial moisturiser.
