Hi all,

This is my first post so hope I am putting in the correct place!

Bit of a background - I am 25, weigh 55kg and I am 5ft6.

On the 23rd July I would have been on Acctuane for 4 months at various doses (20mg, 30mg, 40mg & 50mg). The dosage that works best for me is 40mg - everything has been fine and I am already spot free, touch wood I haven't had a new spot in over a month.

My acne was not severe before but I would get new spots every other day and the general look of my skin wasn't great, I had hundreds of tiny bumps across my forehead as well (I don't think these were acne related but cleared up within a week of being on Accutane). - I have been suffering since around the age of 13 and had tried everything going before finally being prescribed Accutnane, something I wish I had been put on ages ago. It makes me so happy not going to bed worrying about waking up with a new spot/spots.

My question is, one side of my face is perfect and I couldn't be happier, the other side of my face has a few little red dots on it (obviously I am still over the moon), I think these are old spots but they are not scars, do you think these will clear up eventually in the last 3 or so months of my treatment? You guys may not see anything but I think because I am so used to looking at my face everyday and looking for more improvement that might be the reason why I notice it.

As I said, the treatment has worked amazingly well for me so far which is why I am blemish free in the pictures.

Thanks guys and good luck to everyone going through this.

If you have any questions about my side effects please ask : )
