Asked By:AFC_000 in Ukiah, OR

I have been on accutane for 10 weeks now, starting of on 20, then 30, and now 40mg. I can only see minor improvements with breakouts still happening. Do I need a higher dosage? I weigh 66kg, I'm just worying as its a 6 month course and I'm not far from half way there. Leaving your personal experiences will mean a lot, thanks in advance

Answer: There is not specific time to determine how long it will take for skin to clear. It is depending on how the body reacts
