I had severe acne so my doctor prescribed me to Accutane. After six months of using it my face was completely clear. After I stopped using it I would continue to wash my face every morning and night and about five months later my face started to break out really bad again
I started accutane 10 days ago, at the time my acne was getting better but i still had it. I then started accutane and now my skin is horrible! i have so many breakouts and they hurt. i have tried getting rid of them but they won't go away. why is it that my skin was better before accutane then it is now 10 days into medication?
I stared accutane for my second course (it's been 2 years) almost 4 weeks ago. I'm currently on 60 mg as of yesterday and my initial breakout is just god awful. Way worse than when I started taking it. Is this normal? When will it get better? I'm struggling so hard everyday.
Hi I was on accutane before and it cleared me up, but when i was finished it really dried up my eyes. They have gotten better and no longer look as red as befofe. I went on some steroid eye drop and it helped a lot. They do still feel like theyre burning sometimes... If i go back on accutane will it destroy my eyes :0 I have like no acne on my nose and none right below the eye area!
I ve moderate acne and my dermatologist recomended me with isotretion 20 mg.... nothing cystic but small pimples are just flaring up... And i put clindramicin on tht acne... but it pains alot... i m hving a hard time....
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
Hello, I have been on Accutane for around 12 weeks now. Accutane was primarily for my chest and back not as much for my face. When I began to get the breakout everyone seems to get while on accutane, my jawline broke out quite badly and has never seemed to heal. My jawline is quite red and has been since around week 3. Also My back and chest have gotten little improvements... The first month was 40mg/day and then then next two months have been 80mg/day. I am 17 years old and weigh about 155 lb
I am 19 and I have been suffering from acne since I hit puberty. I went on Accutane for 6 months 40mg a day because I am small. My skin was clear for about 4 months, and recently i have started to get small comedones acne all over my forhead and nose. I wonder if its related to my menstrual cycle or if its just a sign that i will need a second round of treatment.
I'm 20, this is the second time I'm taking accutane. I took it first when I was 17 for 6 months 30g dosage. It worked great for a while.. Now I'm taking it again, 40g dosage. And from the start I didn't feel a change I mean my face was clearing up a bit even before the accutane coz I used so many things on it, a cleanser and all that stuff from obagi. And now it's been 3 months my face didn't dry up at all and I'm breaking out like crazy and i think they are leaving scars and I feel like crying.
