Is it possible to use Argan Oil onthe face skin while on Roaccutane? Is it a bad idea?
Melanie Hecker, MD says:

There is no good published data that Argan oil has any benefit.  As an MD, I rely on evidence-based medicine when recommending a product or treatment.

I used Accutane 2 yrs ago 20 mg for 3 months. I am 48 kg. Just now acne appeared again so do I need a second course?
Melanie Hecker, MD says:

I think this dose was too low.  You need 0.5 - 1 mg/kg per day for at least 20 weeks to get maximum efficacy on Accutane.

6 months post op Accutane, I have oily skin, large pore, and scarring on my face that was not there prior. Is this normal?
Melanie Hecker, MD says:

Accutane does not cause scarring, but it can unmask a scar that was underneath your active acne.  Accutane also does not help any scars you already have, but it prevents scarring that would have been caused by persistent acne lesions.
