What is a good second round dosage for me?

Question

I went on accutane for 7 months, with a cumulative dose of 115mg/kg. I am now 3 months off accutane and my skin has become extremely oily again with acne and seborrheic dermatitis. What would be a good dosage/treatment plan for a second course? I’d like an opinion so I can discuss with my dermatologist. Thanks!

​Acne requires a combination approach to get long-term improvement. I recommend a combination of Cosmelan, salt facials, peels, lasers, microneedling with PRP, blue light, radiofrequency and isotretinoin. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

Thank you for your question. For acne, cumulative dosing should be from 120-150 mg/kg. I highly recommend you consult with your dermatologist regarding your questions and concerns. Take care and good luck.
