Accutane for someone with PCOS?

cfblcNov 1, 2016
I have PCOS. Will accutane work for my acne? I took accutane years ago and my acne was gone for 5 years. Now I've been Diagnosed with PCOS. My facial and body acne is closer to mild than it is severe. I do however get 1-2 large painful pimples on my body once a month.

There is no scientific date to answer this.  In my opinion it is best to wait 1 week before getting lip injections. Be well.

It all depends on where you are in the total course.  If you are still breaking out then surely the course is not yet over.  Be patient.

Yes, this is very normal.  During the first 1-2 months of treatment, as the skin adjust to the medication, flares are not uncommon. Be patient.  Results will pay off.
