Basically I've been on accutane for 45 days at 20mg now. From the first week I notices my pores on my cheeks and the area of the nose ( on the sides of the nose under the eye) have clogged, it looks like hard small balls and they are VERY visible. My nose is completely clear of all blackheads. I don't know what is going on? i barely had any clogged pores on that area before accutane

Is this normal? has anyone had this this before? and why does this happen?

sorry about so many questions and thanks in advance

G.

This is worrying, was contemplating going on low dose accutane for my blackheads, but it sounds like it might give me more that I already have. What to do!!!

You've only been on Accutane for a short amount of time. This is totally normal! Your skin is going to go through several phases before you actually get clear. Don't worry at all. Try to just not pay attention and this will be gone before you know it. :)

Your drying up ... lol.. welcome to Accutane.

I had them come out of my back from time to time. Its nothing to

worry about. Remember poking that last pimple?

All the goop that came out of the pimple when you poked it?

All that dry clump is, is all that white goop that dried out from the Tane

and now your skin is forcing it out just like when you get a sliver.

You skin is pushing all the dead bacteria out and clearing your pores.

don't worry, all good.

Oh ok thank you very much for your replies!

The thing that is concerning me is that it has been like this from week 1? it hasn't changed much :/

Ahhh I remember that! I remember calling them little seeds being spit out on my face on my log (gross I know). I had several posts about those things. But the others are right. It's just the accutane working. They are all going to go away. I can't tell you not to worry because it is gross and it's weird looking and you can't cover it.

Thanks for your reply, you've reassured me!!!!!

Do you remember around what month/week they started to go away?

Thanks
