Accutane Ib When Fairly Clear?

Has anyone started Accutane when they were at a fairy clear point? The reason that I want to go on Accutane is that I am 26, tired of daily topical regimens, tired of diets (less than 100g of carbs a day, no sugar, no dairy, to the point I am scared to eat) and just want it over with. (Maybe it won't cure me but it's the best chance that I have). I have 2 actives at the moment and a few lumps from old cysts. Quantity of acne isn't the problem now but when I do breakout, it is always either a nodule or a hard and deep pustule which leaves indented scars.

What should I expect initial breakout wise? I am going to use BP for the first 2-3 weeks just in case and load up on moisturizer.

so hard to say- it's really a roll of the dice

if you don't have a lot of clogged pores to begin with, in theory you should be less likely to have a breakout...in theory

just jump in, start on a lower dose and build up that also helps avoid the IB, in theory!

No clogged pores. My acne just seems to come out of nowhere without warning neutral.gif

But you're right I am just going to have to jump in. Wouldn't it be nice if theory always held true with acne though?

That would be heaven....it seems like acne, more then other diseases just doesn't do what it SHOULD!

Good luck to you, keep us posted and we'll give you moral support through the side effects!
