I have been on Accutane for 3 months now and iam still breaking out, but not as much, I have lots of red marks and I want them to go away. I am only on Accutane for 4 months, I don't know if that is long enough or not? but that is what I was prescribed. I hope that for being on Accutane for only 4 months will help me, I never had severe acne just pimples and red marks but I wanted to clear everything up, but i am still breaking out on the third month, I was very clear about 2 weeks ago straight but now I broke out and disappointed..
Great review?

I can definitely understand why you would be concerned and feel disappointed. Have you spoken to your doctor about this? Perhaps they will want to change your dose, or the length of time you are suppose to take the Accutane for?
Here are some Q&As to help give ideas for treatment for the red marks (hyperpigmentation) and ice pick scars:

Please let us know what goes on at your doctors appointment, and if you are kept on Accutane or not. Hoping your skin continues to clear between now and then!!
