My dermatologist said that after my 6 month course, we could try 20mg a day on an ongoing basis to keep my acne under control . My questions are: 1)If i begin 20mg over a month after I finished my course, do you think that it will be sufficient enough to keep it under control or did I miss that boat when I didn't immediately drop to 20mg a day 2)Do you think 20mg on an ongoing basis would do harm? My liver results have always come back fine.
The acnes and whiteheads are going away faster than before. I am also getting new ones too. Its on my neck and back. My doctor said that it should be normal. I am 18 years old
This is currently getting worse Im staring my 40mg next Month but scared it might get even worse. Im really Scared I dont know if this is part of the process to clear skin or damage my skin
Ive stumbled watching videos on Youtube about accutane, after the results from people online and a little bit of research, I am highly considering taking accutane but Im unsure whether or not the situation of my face is suggested by dermatologists to consider take accutane, though Ive tried multiple methods to remove my acne, whiteheads, and blackheads. All failed or I gave up on trying, hoping that accutane can be the solution to my problems!
I had moderate acne. I had first month with 20 mg per day, then 2 with 40mg, 2 with 60mg, 1 with 80mg. Accutane made my acne worse at first A LOT. Now have no more blackheads or whiteheads, I continue to develop cysts and have had 7 cortisone shots on no longer active ones! I am taking with food, I eat healthy, drink loads of water. Why am I not responding to this treatment, ? How much longer should I be on it? Should I up my dosage? Also concerned about scarring
I had moderate acne for a few years so my dermatologist put me on doxycycline then minocycline & my face cleared up but 2-3 months after, acne came back. I currently use Epiduo and my face is clear for the most part right now but I do still get acne, especially on my chin around that time of the month. I get some whiteheads on my forehead & sometimes nodules on my temples. I think some acne I get could be because of makeup I use but could this be hormonal acne? (My period is not always regular).
Hi, I've been on accutane 40mg for 5 months and i stopped it one year ago. I didnt have cystic acne but i've had acne for years. Now its been a year and it is clearly coming back. Ive had a breakout and since then red pimples on cheeks and forehead, blackheads and whiteheads. Knowing that for years i tried almost all the creams and the only thing that worked for me was accutane, should I ask my doctor to give me accutane again for a 2nd round? Thanks. (Sorry for my english, I'm french)
