Okay, I am halfway done with month 5 of my accutane treatment. I weigh 105lbs and have been on 30mg everyday. I like my skin however i still have a lot of under the skin bumps around my mouth area and my chin. I have about 4 actives on my chin as well. The rest of my face and chest and back and neck is all clear. Im worried that acne is going to come back and I really wish to clear the bumps and under the skin stuff before im done with my treatment. Anything I could do for all this?

I would talk to your doctor about your concerns and maybe he/she will let you go for another month. I know I'm on 40mg and am around your size and my treatment is 6 months long which would be typical for 30-4mg. Talk to your doctor.

If you're halfway done then you still are in the clearing phase. You can expect some zits to still be appearing for another month atleast, and some small clogged pores as well. The last month should be the true indication of how well accutane is working for you.
