#3204708 Acne Coming Back After Accutane Course

Posted by giantfishy on 14 January 2012 - 08:56 PM

Not really sure what you can really do except to go on a second course? did you happen to stop taking accutane on your own?

Yeah I was suppose to do a 6 month course but I was getting severe chest pains so I stopped at 5 months.  Even as of today my chest has yet to fully recover.

the way accutane works is by completely shutting down your pores producing sebum. no sebum no bacteria no acne. for some people acne does not come back but for others it still does. This could mean a few things. but the one thing that comes to my mind when you say that your acne is now coming back seems how the pores are back open and producing sebum is the fact that your insides are not healthy. there are still toxins inside your body that are wanting to come out through the skin and since they havent been able to this entire time you were on accutane they are now going to start releasing themselves now that they are able to(with working sebum pores) my suggestion to you is to start a diet start eating healthy. for atleast a month and your acne should start receeding if this is the case. you may have to start eating a little healthier from now on. check out the nutrition forums!!

honestly do you eat junk? or did you eat junk while you were on accutane?

for back and chest acne i heard Head and Shoulders 'Classic Clean' shampoo was good for acne there.
Good luck!

Well I did recently smoke cigarettes for 4 months but I stopped.  I eat decently healthy but I will now try to eat super healthy and see how it goes.
