Im on accutane 20/40 mg daily but im taking a 20 mg dose from 3 days and today i skipped my 40 mg dose so ive skipped around 3 capsules from 3 days what am i supposed to do ?! I cant contact my doctor except on mondays please help !!
No worries, just continue taking Accutane from where you left off. The important thing is the total dose taken during the course of Accutane
I had a bout of obsession over my skin tonight and I picked on a blackhead. I don't usually scar but since I'm on a 20mg daily dose of accutane, will this increase the chances of scarring?
Scarring is usually worse on Accutane, hence it is important to avoid picking the skin while on medication.
Generally 6 months after finishing would be safe, though 1 year would be ideal. That said, it all depends on how aggressive one is as far as acne treatment. Mild things like chemical peels & microdermabrasion & fillers & subcision would be fine after 6 months, while ablative or resurfacing lasers (e.g. CO2, fractional lasers) are worth waiting for 1 year to be perfectly safe. Good luck!
