One course of accutane has been completed but my acne coming back. I was on Accutane for 9 months, results were perfect but 3 months later I started getting tiny bumps on my forehead so I was prescribed Differin. My skin is still progressively getting worse where I have spots all over my face and neck and I've been patient and waited 3 months to see if the cream will work. I feel heartbroken as I thought it was the end of my 14 year acne journey. Do you think I can get re-referred to a dermatologist?
Male, 20, 121lbs, 5'11, . Been off accutane for around 2 weeks now and starting to get under-skin bumps around the hairline. Should I start taking accutane again? How long should the treatment last for me and is there a waiting time between short accutane courses or should I continue asap? Would a higher dosage be more suitable for me? Maybe moving on to 20mg?

I took accutane 2 years ago and my skin was clear and mild oil for the 1st year. I took accutane for 7 months (1-2 mo 40mg, 3-4 mo 60mg, 5-7 mo 80mg). However, in the 2nd year, my skin got EXTREMELY oily to the point where I feel like washing it ALL THE TIME. It looks so bad. In addition, I get 1-3 small red bumps/whiteheads each day. Lastly, I use 0.1% Retin-A every night, but still nothing. Its really bothersome. Do you think a second round of accutane will help? I am a 26 year-old female.
Diagnosed with Pyoderma Faciale in 2015, was put on Accutane for a year (I took my max.) It calmed my face down from when I initially came in but by 2016 my acne bumps were not cleared and still are not to this day. I have flares to where they get worst than the picture, but this is what it normally is. Bumps all over my face, very dry, very sensitive (I can only use products with natural ingredients.) Face is sometimes itchy and sometimes get eyelash dandruff (?). I can not see a derm.
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.
Hi I have rosacea, oily skin and mild acne. I've had it under control the past year using a salicylic acid lotion and finacea. I struggled previously with these and was on antibiotics for a year. Now I have tiny little bumps forming all over my forehead. They're incredibly itchy. Along with a itchy scalp. I think it's Pityrosporum Folliculitis. What are the treatment options ? I know this disease has a high relapse rate so I'm worried. Has anyone had success treating this without relapse ?
