Bad breakout starting month 4 of Accutane...normal?

May 5, 2015
Asked By:bcottle in Atlanta, GA

Is this normal. Throughout my treatment I had some mild break outs. By the end of month 3 I started to see my skin changing and it was so much clearer with one or two blemishes but the breakouts had stopped completely. As soon as month 3 ended I broke out really bad. Is this normal? I am a week in month 4 and as soon as I have one fade another is right behind it. Thank you in advance.
