the acne is worse too? maybe do another course

Hey everyone,

I was on low dose accutane 10mg/day for over a year. It was prescribed by a Dr. in asia along with a bunch of other antibiotics for acne. My skin became crystal clear as a result and oil production reduced tons. Now it's been over a year off and my skin seems to be oilier than it ever has. Also, I get a combination of folliculitis and acne. Has anyone ever experienced these types of symptons after accutane? I'd rather have my skin before than how it is now, it's worse and oilier than before.

Thanks,

Brian

Hey Brian,

If it were me I'd get myself another course of isotretinoin asap. How long were you on antibiotics? Were you taking them simultaneously for the year??? I'd avoid doing that again; just try get the isotretinoin. As you know the low long course has fewer side effects and eventually does the trick. Relaspes and multiple courses are common for some people however, Im currently on my 4th course, which will be an indeffinate one until I'm happy the issue is resolved. Please check my profile for my story/journey etc if you wish, and drop me a message if you think i can help you in any way.

Hope you find a solution. All the best.
