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
I have been on Accutane Claravis 40 Mg for nearly 2 months now since jan 4th. I have seen nothing but my skin just worsening, I get acne on parts of my face and neck that I haven't before, I get so many big whiteheads and they will stay there for weeks unless I pop them. I've experienced nose bleeds, dry lips, dry skin, and eye dryness. I'm growing highly pessimistic because there is not one slight sign of anything good. I don't know if there's something i'm doing wrong and if so what?
I'm currently on my 8th week of roaccutane. The first 4 weeks were 30mg and seen my skin get worse. After week 4 I started on 70mg and now have seen my skin get much much worse. My acne was loacalised to my chin and chest but now I have it on my cheeks, neck, chin, forehead and jaw. Why is this happening and when should I get concerned. My lips are so dry they constantly crack and extremely painful. I can't eat in public as my skin around my mouth cracks and flakes with the movement of eating.
I've had acne since I was 15 im 25 now and I have never had clear skin. I've tried Retin A, differin, Tazorac, BP everything nothing really works. Lately my skin has been getting worse and worse and its really affecting my self esteem im so embarrassed. Could accutane be an option for me?

Accutane made my acne much worse before it got cleared. Now I'm left with tons of red marks from the inital break out. My acne was moderate when I started accutane , in August after 1 month , it was very severe with cysts , now everything cleared up and I have these red marks all over my face, I look 10 times worse than I looked when I started accutane , accutane made my skin worse!! Will red marks from inital breakout fade faster than normal red marks?
I have been taking Accutane for over 3 weeks now. ive been fighting with my acne for 8 years now but after starting taking my medication my face is at its worst right now, its never been that bad. my face is very itchy sensitive but no acne going away! help! my texture got so so much worse. please help
Hello, I've been on Accutane for 5 months (60mg dose) with one month remaining. My acne has cleared, unfortunately leaving a lot of red spots (post-inflammatory erythema). I understand this process takes a long time to heal, and I've been sticking to my normal moisturizers, cleansers whilst on this drug. I was just wondering if weightlifting/ moderate to high-intensity exercise exacerbates my condition of post-inflammatory erythema or does it have no effect.
I am going on low dose accutane for type 1 rosacea with mild swelling. I believe I have KP or PD as well. Will accutane make these worse or help? Will it actually reduce my facial swelling? Im a little afraid to go on it but desperate for better skin and no swelling,
