Today is just my fourth day on 10mg accutane and i have already broken out in 3 huge cystic acne and several small ones.

I have many under the skin bumps on my face , are all of them gonna become cysts eventually?

My cystic acne take at least two weeks to go away and many months for the red marks to fade , think is gonna be hell soon...

With my face covered in cystic acne i don;t know how i am able to go to work in this state....

Are you under the treatment of a dermatologist?

Sounds like the initial breakout (see page 9 of attachment).

Accutane typically takes 4-6 months to work (see page 8 of attachment).

Thank you , your faq was very informative.

One question, do you think cystic acne will heal faster on accutane since it help with inflammation.

Good question. I'm not sure.

Possibly yes because Accutane helps with inflammation.

Possibly not because Accutane impairs would healing to some extent.

You should contact the dermatologist, usually they will inject the painful ones or sometimes they put you on an antibiotic to ease the intial breakout.

Your going through the initial breakout. Mine lasted about 2.5 weeks.

You will get the biggest white heads you have ever had haha but they will dry up and go away a lot quicker then they normally would.

If you have large blind ones, they will also come to a head a lot quicker then they normally would.

Cortisone injections are not advised during accutane as your skin takes longer to repair. Cortisone injections should also not be used unless on a pimple will not go away or is causing scarring. The injection itself can leave indentation and hyper pigmentation of the area.
