Does anyone know why some people get an initial outbreak on accutane and why some people don't?

It doesn't make sense to me!

I really don't know. I braced myself for an initial breakout but I have been incredibly lucky so far and my skin has only improved since I started it. I'm on about day 17 of 40mg.

It's simply the way your body and skin react to the medicine. Plus it takes around four days for any noticeable effects, so any 4-day IB can be attributed to placebo side effects!
