Occasional Breakout While on Accutane

Asked By:Railynn00 in Regina, Canada

Is it normal to still have the occasional breakout when I have been on Accutane for 2 1/2 months? It happened once but I believe it happened because I was approaching my menstrual cycle. I'm just wondering whether this means that the drug isn't working. Most of the time though, my skin is clear.
