i just finished my 4th month on accutane (80mg/day). i never really had a problem with body acne and now i am breaking out all over my body. i have also been getting boils (4 in the past month). i asked my derm about this and he didn't really give me any answer. he said the boils are probably caused by something else. anyone else have these problems?

I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm very surprised at 4 months you are getting this. Boils are the same as cystic acne. It is more than likely an allergic reaction rather than acne I would think. At 4 months I doubt accutane would allow this to happen !
