Is it normal that my skin is still oily after consuming Accutane for a year and a half?

Question

I have been consuming accutane for about 1 and a half year now but my skin is still kind of oily at night. Is this normal? I have been wanting to stop the medication but are advised against by my doctor and my skin becomes oily after not consuming.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
