First of all I am 16 year old male with pretty bad acne. After having acne for about three my mom finally decided to take me to the dermatologist. Within the first 5 minutes the doctor realized how severe my case was and decided I should try Accutane. So I was given the prescription and I got it a day later and took it for the first time. I am now on my 12th day of medication and the only side effects I am experiencing are extreme dryness:

: my lips, face, and the rest of my body. In about a week I have to go and get my first blood test. I have had no emotional changes yet. Has anyone experienced the same side effects? When did you begin to see results? I am new to this btw, just made my account.

hey buddy, for the accutane to really start working, it'll take 1-3 months then thats when your entire skin healing process will begin and your acne will be punchedd;). you should see great results to your satsification in 5-6months. also buddy, after your course, to be on the safe side, get a spot treatment or a topical retinoid. well let us know how it goes, on the way to looking goooddd.

do you know if medacaid has accutane?

I see no reason to be on a retinoid before (if) the acne returns. Please inform me if I'm wrong.

Sir, it was an option. retinoids promote skin reneal so your ''forming pimples'' will be gone if your clear.
