Welcome to my world bud. I've been on 60mg for nearly 6 months and I also get break outs all the time. I started on 20mg then 40mg and then on to 60mg for 3 months and it cleared up After a month going down to 40mg it came back again. Now since March, i've been on 60mg and I'm on a 7-month course to help clear my acne. On my 6th month I think and surprise surprise my acne is still here. As you can see i'm not happy lol
5 Months post Accutane:
Thought i'd send out what will probably be my final update. I started using BP wash about 2 months after I finished accutane because my forehead was such a mess. It sucked for the first 3 months as my skin was breaking out like crazy and it seemed like there was no end in sight.
Fast forward 3 months later and my skin is finally under control! I'm using a Salicylic acid apricot scrub first to get a deep pore cleaning and then rinsing that off and using a 5% BP wash, morning and night. I am only using it on my forehead and it's finally worked. I still get spots, but now it's controlled and I feels amazing. I was seriously bummed out that accutane did not work but I will say that it definitely helped as BP alone was never enough before. All in all i'm glad I took accutane even though it wasn't what I had hoped but I am very happy to say I am in a good place, skin wise.
Thanks to all who read this log and I hope it helped .
