34/F on isotretinoin for 6 months, taking my last dose in Jan 2020. I understand the medicine shrinks your oil glands, but Ive read that the oil production returns to normal levels after you stop taking it. I was very oily before. It has been nearly two years and my skin is dull and dry. My hair is dull. Wearing contacts is uncomfortable. The skin under my eyes has tons of lines now. I take Zyrtec daily and take allergy shots - could this exacerbate the issue?
Is that dose was enough for me? . And the breakout of the second course could be as severe as the first course? . Now i have no too much pimples but i have a big one disturbing me too much discharging pus
I asked my question 2 days before but without supmiting photos .. i used 20 mg once per day for 3 months my wt 48 kg and my face was clear for 2 yrs now acne came again not too much but this one on the right cheek was very big and discharging pus so i am very disappointed from this now it dried and approximately healed .. please help me do i need another course of accutaine? and if the answer is yes for how long? and the breakout could be as severe as in the first course or less severe?Thanks
It has been 2 years now and I still have red marks from the acne I got while I was on accutane. Some redness and a few marks have faded but it is still very noticeable. I still get occasional pimples and at points I wish I never went on accutane because it seems like the red marks it left on my face will stay there forever and it only made my face worse.
I'm a female 39 yrs old, I've been taking Isoface for about 2 years now. At age 23 a dermatologist prescribed Roaccutane. I had to stop taking it though because I wanted a baby. I have a healthy 13 year old boy NO birth defects of any kind! I wanted clear skin so I went to a Dr. in Colombia he prescribed Isoface 20mg 3 times/week - my face is COMPLETELY CLEAR! He also said that I can take it for as long as I want as long as I don't plan to have a baby; he's been taking it for 14 years now!
I was on Accutane 2 years ago and my acne came back just as bad. The only side effect I have is I sweat a lot more when its hot out or exercising. Will another round even increase my sweating more?
