Hey guys!

I barely started isotretinoin! I'm on my 6th day.
I noticed since starting my medication that I'vebeen getting painful cystic acne, I'venever really had to deal with cystic acne. Is this common? When will my acne start to clear up ?
the only other side affect that I'vehad to deal with is just dryness so far.

When I was 16-18 I had cystic acne. From 18-23 I didn't really have it, until the first week I took accutane last summer. They were painful huge lumps. It's normal I think. It sucked big time, but it was worth it in the end :smileys_n_people_82:
