Still have some remaining cysts after Accutane treatment.

October 16, 2024
Asked By:Kind501663 in Mokena, Illinois

I have finished my Accutane treatment for acne on my back. Although I am not getting any new breakouts, I still have some of the cysts remaining from when my acne was going away while on treatment. Is it normal that I finished Accutane and still have these cysts leftover? Will it just take time for them to fully go away? Does this mean the treatment was not effective since it did not COMPLETELY clear my skin?
