When Will I See Improvement from Accutane?

User Avatar

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?
