Hi There, i have pllar cyst on my scalp. I am 83kgs and using 20mg/p isotretinoin per day. It is qlmost 2 mnths now but my cyst feel bigger and sore now. I am really wondering accutane will heal the bump?. Do i need to increse my dosage per day? Is it toi earrly ti expect improvent after 2 months? Realy appreciate if anyone asnwers. Thanks in advance.
Hi there, I've had a sebaceous cyst on my cheek for a few years and it occasionally flares up due to various triggers (shaving, creams). The flares are starting to affect me, but i have hope that the cyst will eventually pass. I've been on isotretinoin for 8 months (10mg for 5, 20mg for 4) and my skin is clearing up, however, will this help get rid of the cyst on my cheek? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery as I do not want a scar on my cheek. For context, Im 92kg, Male, 63 ft
Ive had this cyst in my left breast for over a year now, I was told the only way to get rid of it is to do a small surgery (cut it open) I have cystic acne that Ive been dealing with for years, on my face, back, and sometimes chest, I will be starting Accutane next week, will this cyst in my breast go away with accutane?
I'm currently in my 6th week of a 4-month course of Accutane 60 mg. I was wondering, when I will be seeing some sort of an improvement? I have a few cysts under my skin. Will Accutane still push these out to a head, or because of the decrease in sebum, will they just simply fade as the bacteria lessens in the cysts?
I had moderate acne. I had first month with 20 mg per day, then 2 with 40mg, 2 with 60mg, 1 with 80mg. Accutane made my acne worse at first A LOT. Now have no more blackheads or whiteheads, I continue to develop cysts and have had 7 cortisone shots on no longer active ones! I am taking with food, I eat healthy, drink loads of water. Why am I not responding to this treatment, ? How much longer should I be on it? Should I up my dosage? Also concerned about scarring
I've been taking accutane for about 1month and 3weeks. My skin is no longer oily and i do not have one single blackheads. On the other hand i've been having cysts on my left cheek for quite some time now (i had around 3 and have 2 currently). Overall fatty foods (peanut butter, nuts, avocado, oils) make me breakout, i've adopted a high carb low fat vegan. Should i take accutane with a fat dense meal even though fatty foods make me breakout?
I went on acctutane, 30 mg for 4 or 5 months. My skin broke out so bad. Huge cysts. I've tried everything you can imagine topical and antibiotics. I started breaking out again, it's been a few years but I started breaking out within a year after getting off accurate. I want to do a second round, but I'm scared I will have the same terrible breakout I did when I was on it. On average, do patients have a lesser breakout than the first time or is it about the same as the first?
I started accutane on 30mg for moderate acne and I weight about 76kg. After the first month i was having sever acne breakouts so my Dermatologist increased my dosage to 50mg/day. Now I am on 3rd month but i still have large (about half-inch) cysts deep under my skin. There are not at all visible but I feel them when i touch my face They itch a lot. I was patient all this time but i am begining to loose hope that my face will clear.I want to know is Accutane Working on Me?.
i'm at the beginning of month 2 on isotretinoin and the doctor increased my dose to 60 mg i was on 40 the problem is that i have a very resistant boil or curbuncle-like cyst on my cheek which is there for about one month now. It doesn't affect by any sort of topical antibiotic. I'm thinking of taking a three day course of oral azithromycin but still afraid from drug interactions. Any advice ?
