When is the best time of the year to take Accutane?

Question

I've heard answers from both sides to this and decided I would ask a professional. I live in Texas so summertime can get very hot. Winter, however, isn't too friendly either, it can get fairly cold and dry.

Please see your local dermatologist regarding accutane care but if your acne is bad enough for accutane, then I would not wait for season to change in order to start it. Best regards, Dr. Sapijaszko.
