Hi folks
I'm wondering if anyone might be able to share their experiences with roaccutane low dose. I've had moderate acne that was kept @ bay (never ever clear though) by the contraceptive pill for years until for various reasons earlier this year I decided to stop taking it - not to fall pregnant though. My skin flared up the worst it has ever been (I'm 28). I'm now on 20mg Roaccutane every other day and about to go into week 5...My skin isn't oily anymore (it's amazing- make up actually stays put) but I'm still breaking out in large, red painful spots and whitehead/puss type spots and am wondering how much longer I might have to wait to start seeing an improvement? Given I'm on a low dose I fear this could be a while. I actually started on 20mg per day but was struggling with the side effects.
Any advice would be appreciated as currently feeling pretty fed up!!
Thanks!

I did 20 mg/day for about 5 months, now I am doing 20mg/ every other day... It got better and better every month but didn't clear totally (in that I still have a pimple every month or so) I know a girl that was on 10mg I think it got better for her in the 4th month. She is completely clear now. It might take a bit, but it will work.
Just try to think of other things, and one day soon it'll be gone.
