WORTH IT
Dr.Cole has been the only doctor to take my acne seriously . He has treated it for about a year and now feels accutan could get rid of it. He says that if other medications don't work that accutane normally will. I go on 2/8/16 pretty excited! I hope to see a difference I have had acne for the last 20 years

I am very blotchy. I have a lot of bumps and discoloration. I'm waiting for my script and hoping this works.

I'm taking 40 mg as well. I'm on my 6th week and so far seeing an improvement, although nowhere near where I'd like to be! I'm wishing you the best on your journey. I definitely know what you are going through :)
