I used to get cystic acne on my face, shoulders, and back. I went on a 10 month long accutane course in which i took a 40 mg pill every day. Once my course was over, my skin cleared up perfectly. However, a month after my course ended I started to get breakouts again. It started off not as bad but is progressively getting worse as time goes by. So my question is: what now? Even after being on the drug for 10 months, i still am getting frequent breakouts.
But derm put me on face wash for dry skin but i have oily skin. The day cream with the SPF is making me darker as well. My pimples have spread even more. But I am using Roaccutane now for 5 days. Please advise. Desperate
I am 3 weeks into my accutane course and am having a terrible initial breakout. My dermatologist told me to stop using tretinoin or any other harsh products, but I was wondering if there are any other good products I could use to reduce the irritation/acne? Thanks!
I started accutane on 30mg for moderate acne and I weight about 76kg. After the first month i was having sever acne breakouts so my Dermatologist increased my dosage to 50mg/day. Now I am on 3rd month but i still have large (about half-inch) cysts deep under my skin. There are not at all visible but I feel them when i touch my face They itch a lot. I was patient all this time but i am begining to loose hope that my face will clear.I want to know is Accutane Working on Me?.
I was on two cycles of Accutane a few months ago, and since then my skin has been amazing; however, around a week ago I got the contraceptive shot. I read online that people experienced severe acne after using the shot. Since then I have had a few spots flare up and break out. I am just wondering if it will get worse or because I was previously on Accutane if this is the worst it will get.
