Hi everyone,

Just looking for some support. I am now 32 days into my third round of Accutane and my face is still completely broken out. I break out with probably 10 inflamed pimples at a time (no cysts) and they cycle through so fast. I can see a tiny dot in the morning and at the end of the day it's a full-blown pustule. Is this still just the IB? This consistent breaking out started around the second week. I'm really discouraged and worried that this isn't going to work. I've had two previous courses work wonderfully for me and keep me clear for around 2 years in between each time. Unfortunately my skin doesn't respond to any other treatments, and this is the only thing that has worked for me. I just don't remember such a bad IB either of my other times. It seems that every time a pimple goes away, another one comes up right beside it- always recurring in the same spots. I weigh 115 lbs and am on 40 mg/day. I was on 40 mg/day for my last course and was completely clear and healed by three months when I came off it. Does anyone have any advice or experience? Reassurance? I am really afraid this won't work for me again- does that ever happen?

Thanks!
