I started taking accutane since december, and now im having breakouts after having 5months of oratane (accutane), and the worst part is, i am having symmetrical acne breakout, is it just could be the so called "initial breakout" since i didnt notice any breakouts at all before, but i think it is not the reason because i took it for 5 months already?

i'm 50 kg male and im taking 20mg daily.

is it just normal or what?

Well, I weigh only about 4 kg more than you and I am taking 60 mg a day, but I am also in the fifth month and still breaking out a bit. At the moment I have one large cyst on my cheek that has played peek-a-boo with me throughout my course and before, and a few small comedones here and there, but I can say that my skin has improved noticeably in both tone and clarity over my course.

I do think it is normal (or at least, I hope it is normal) to be breaking out this far into your course, depending on the severity of the breakouts, but if you're not noticing over-all improvement you should discuss it with your dermatologist.

i do notice a significant improvement overall, its like i would rate my skin at 20 marks before and i would rate it 85 now, the only thing i am worrying about is the acne could come back again, because of this month's breakout, it is actually not very bad, but just 5-6 pimples popped out on my face suddenly makes me worrying and look bad

Hi! What happened? Did it get better? I'm in the exact same position, exact same dose and weight! I'm really scared...
