I am a 21 year old female. 51 kg. I'm on my 6th month of accutane. My acne is gone, but I only have scars left. I get at least 1 pimple during menustration that vanishes in 2 days or so. My doctor recommended me to take it for another month. Is it safe?
The acnes and whiteheads are going away faster than before. I am also getting new ones too. Its on my neck and back. My doctor said that it should be normal. I am 18 years old
Male, 20, 121lbs, 5'11, . Been off accutane for around 2 weeks now and starting to get under-skin bumps around the hairline. Should I start taking accutane again? How long should the treatment last for me and is there a waiting time between short accutane courses or should I continue asap? Would a higher dosage be more suitable for me? Maybe moving on to 20mg?
Im 18-year-old, 130 lbs 55 & been suffering w/ cystic acne since I was 14. I started my first round of Accutane when I was 16 40mg 2x a day for 6 months. I went on my 2nd Round 6 months after I finished my first when I was 17 with 40 mg 2x daily for the first 3 months and 40 mg in the morning & 60 @ night. now here I am, 6 months later, breaking out again & considering going back on it. Nothing helps but accurate + i experience all the side effects. the pics show just the beginning
I have had ice pick scaring for 4 years since the age of 16 till now. I am 20 years of age. I have done 2 Fraxel restores, 1 Profractional Laser , and 1 intensive microneedling treatment, with 3 IPL, in the course of 4 years with minimal results at this point I am considering Isotretinoin because when I l breakout it leave a new scar on my skin. And I still breakout . At this point is Isotretinoin a ideal option ?
I am a 21 year old male, weigh 155lbs and am 4.5 months into my accutane course. My back has 100% cleared up but my neck and chest are still breaking out in cystic pimples. What am I doing wrong? I eat healthy, exercise, shower and wash my face twice a day, I'm taking the pills with high fat meals. I'm getting pretty depressed because I feel like it will never work. My dosage so far has been month 1: 40mg per day, month 2: 60mg per day, month3: 70mg per day, month 4: 80mg per day, month 5: 80mg per day.
Ive had acne for 7 years im now 18. I have extremely oily skin and I do wear makeup. my acne will still be just as bad when I do not apply makeup for months at a time. I've tried every medication the doctor could prescribe me and tried tons of skin care products. Nothing has worked and my acne has made me extremely self conscious and depressed. Would it be worth it to get into a dermatologist for accutane?
22 years old asian - I think I've got atrophic/depressed acne scaring. I had acne cyst at the same area (cheek) reoccurring 3 times which resulted in a deep depression on my right cheek (like a big oval dot). Its seems pretty deep and the redness (PIH) has yet to fade away after 5 months. Are there any lasers/ipl/peels/filler/subcision treatments that can be done safely while on accutane to treat the redness and scar effectively? If so, will it be difficult to fix that depress scar? Its affecting my confidence.
