Hello,
I am new on here. I wanted to be able to write how I feel with others who understand what I am going through. I'm a 23 year old female, I have been struggling with acne since about the 6th grade. I have been on multiple prescriptions and all have failed me. My derm finally recommended accutane. I am on my second month right now I weigh 120 lbs my first month I was on 40 mg of absorbica then 80 my second month and now 80 again. I have not had any side effects besides dry lips. But my acne is not improving at all. I am breaking out places I have never broke out before like my forehead and my cheeks. My back acne somewhat improved. But my face is horrible. I suffer from cystic acne that come up in the worst places. I just had a cyst injected three days ago I between my eyes for the 4th time and it's popping back out again. My acne is not severe but cystic i also have tons of clogged pores and blackheads. My skin is showing no improvement. I don't hang out with my friends anymore acne is killing my social life. This cyst that keeps popping up is killing me. My derm does not want to extract it because he doesn't want to give me a huge scar. He is not impressed with my results either.
Did anyone have positive results from absorbica?
Any advice for my cyst??
Also when do blackheads go away??
Hello! The first 1-3 month on Accutane is the hardest because that's the time when everything comes up, and when I mean everything, I mean all the sebum and bacteria. The areas that you've never broken out before is a good sign! It means that everything is purging out and coming to the surface, and that's essentially what you want. I think the approximate time people will start to notice good results is after the 3rd month or after the initial breakout (which will vary for some people). It will get worse before it gets better, is something you have to remember to keep you going on Accutane! 
I would just let the Accutane take its course and leave the acne alone. You don't want to be poking or prodding because it will scar badly. Just let the drug do it's thing and the best thing you can do is wait it out.
Good luck!
