hi there,
i'm on 40mg a day accutane, which is a low dose.
so far, after 2 months, the results are my skin looks horrific!
can i use the light treatment still? my skin is so bad it needs help!
i was thinking of just using it for 15mins at night on my face.
my skin is so bad i can't face going outside or to work even.
anyway, let me know what you reckon!

Hang in there, at 2 months you may just be getting past the worst part. Wait another month and see. Ask your doc about combining, as it's my understanding that Accutane has warnings about photo-sensitivity and that you are NOT supposed to use any light treatments while on it.
Besides, the blue light therapy takes 4-10 wks for real benefits and you will likely see benefit soon from Accutane and might not know which helped.
