Missed the initial 30 day appointment to start Isotrentinoin (Accutane). Do I have to wait another 30 days before I can start?

Asked By:mward1030 in Los Angeles, CA

I have moderate scarring acne. I've had this since I was 14. I'm 42. I have other skin issues as well. Ingrown hairs, idiopathic itching. It's very depressing. I've never dated AR felt confident. I started the process of going on Isotrentinoin, but due to being a traveling histotechnician, I missed the initial 30 day appointment. It's been 2 months since my first visit. I am on birth control. I'm fed up with my skin. Thanks
