I was on Isotretinoin 1 year ago for only 40 days...
I was on Isotretinoin 1 year ago for only 40 days and acchieved possitive result but I didn't continue my journey due to my college's entrance exam. I was afraid that the mental side effects would affect my concentration on studying. After accutane, my skin got worse, i have tried different things from natural remedies to BP, SA topicals but it only got better at the first place. I found lumps on my face which cause red marks. I think those red lumps are some kinds of cysts. So i give isotretinoin a second chance and I have been on it for 33 days. My derm prescribed me 20mg per day. In the first attempt, my acnes got better very quickly and no cyst was formed, only whiteheads. But this time, many cyst are formed, they're red and painful in the first place. Then some came to a head, but most of them just stay hard and lumpy in my face for weeks. Has anyone had the same problem like me? How does isotretinoin cure your cysts?
40th day
There are 8 cysts in total on my face, 5 of them are new, red and painful. I've experienced nosebleed, joint pain, I hope that those side effects won't become more severe.
