Accutane + Pimples Q&A

I started 30mg of accutane 2 weeks ago. Ive developed a few cystic pimples since starting. My main concern is the closed comedones on my face. I have a lot. Will accutane push these all to the surface as whiteheads? Should I pop them?

I've been on accutane for 2 months and a half now with moderate reoccuring cystic acne, but i see no difference, my skin is not dry at all and just less oily. I weigh 125lbs and i'm 178cm I took 30mg for the first month then 40mg and now started 60mg as my dermatologist was concerned i wasn't dry and i am still getting new pimples maybe 5 times a week, like before. . I'm wondering if Accutane may not be working for me and whether i should continue as its very costly for me.

I have been struggling with texture, redness, pimples that are deep, and irritation with sensitive skin. I have been prescribed to doxycycline, sulfamethoxazole trimethopim, epiduo, and retain a. I have been prescribed to these medications over the course of 3 years now and nothing has worked. Is accutane my way to go?

Im using isotretinoin from last 2 weeks but does not see any improvement.pimples are in same condition.but there are some lil bit side effects 1:dry lips 2:itching and rashes on skin 3:skin dry that cause pain. When i see the improvement in acne. Because im fed up :/. I lost my self confidence

 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....

Is there anything I can do to make these go away at all! I have been on accutane for 2 months and these still are showing up no matter if I pop a pimple or not.

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.

I am a 57 year old female who has acne since age 12. They were never large cystic acne, but pimples and blackheads. My dermatologist prescribed Accutane. I read on this site that it doesn't help my type of acne. I would like a second opinion.

Hello, I recently finished my 8 month course of accutane 5 days ago where I reached 240 mg/kg cumulative dose. Skin looks good, still dry. Anyways, I have two questions: When do you think I could start using power peel multi-acid resurfacing pads and how often should I use?What is the best way to address small pimples and clogged pores? I'm thinking using some on the spot benzoyl peroxide treatment at night would be a good way to target specific spots without drying my entire face up too much.

Ive been on 80mg of Accutane for 5 months (170 pound male), and I am still getting some pimples. I think theyve been coming a few days after I have a beer or two. Is that setting back my progress? I just dont understand why Im still getting pimples
