Hello! My dermatologist gave me accutane 10mg . I'm in my 6th day today . Do you think 10mg is enough for my type of acne ? Thank you !

10mg daily is a great starting dosage. I was on 20mg daily to start with, so not too different. Good luck!

It all depends on your weight rather than severity according to my dr. I weigh 160lbs, 5"8 tall, so 60mg was a low dose for me.. looks high compared to you though. Honestly starting off with 10mg is possibly really good because it might help you transition into a higher dose without crazy side effects. Your doc probably knows whats best for you.
