Would I be eligible for Accutane? (photos)

January 3, 2022
Asked By:jgreensmith in England, United Kingdom

I’m at 26yo male that has suffered from acne on and off for 10 years or so. I have used many different topical treatments (differin, duac, dalacin T) and different oral antibiotics (lymecycline, tetracycline, doxycycline). They have worked but only very short term. My acne has had a major breakout and it’s at its worst it’s ever been. I break out mostly on my forehead and around my cheekbone on the right side of my face (see pictures). I am seeing a dermatologist in 2 weeks time.
