How Effective is Roaccutane for Acne?
I have been on the tablets for about 4-5 weeks and the acne is getting worse. Could you tell me when I will see an improvement?

Not Uncommon For Breakouts
It is not uncommon at all for patients on Accutane to break out around the third week. It is difficult to predict when you will start having the typical response, but most patients begin to see clearing around the sixth to seventh week.
