I have almost been on Accutane for two weeks now and I am suffering from an initial breakout. Eek! I've got two hard lumps on my jawline that don't hurt but are really deep and huge. I also have a big chin pimple that's deep under the skin but it doesn't hurt which I find strange. I'm using an icepack to numb the pain and the sides of my face are filled with scabs that are slowly healing up. My forehead had lots of comedones before but they are starting to fade. I suppose that's something positive so far! Let's hope this initial breakout won't last long.
Hang in there, it looks like your skin is drying out now and the worst of the IB should subside by week 4 or 5. You're doing great, keep having hope and you'll be just fine. 
Also if it gets irritating enough, you can do cortisone shots for painful cystic lumps or ask for a short round of Pred to get through the IB.

Right now I'm using ice and it numbs the pain pretty well. If it does get worse I probably will get a cortisone shot! I can't wait till the IB subsides..
