3Rd Month Of Accutane, Huge Cyst Breakout?

I've been on 60mg a day, I started at 30mg my first month, my derm up'd the dosage on the second and third to 60mg.

I was doing completely fine the other day, then I just had a break out. A large cyst right near my ear (looks horrible and hurts really bad) Plus a bunch on my back.

 

They came out of no where! I am less than a week away from finishing my 3rd month and starting my 4th. My derm said that I will only be doing a 5 month course (So only 2 left to go).

Is this normal to be getting cystic breakouts half way through the course? I really want to be done with cysts... and put this all behind me but i'm scared they will all continue to come back.

help?

As a side note: I used to have horrible dry skin, but recently (last 2-3 weeks) my dryness has gone away, I don't even put moisturizer on anymore because there is no reason to. My lips still get chapped a lot, but that's it. I am thinking that my body is getting used to the accutane and possibly compensating for it somehow thus reducing the effectiveness of accutane.

I know how you feel. Exact same thing has happened to me, I've been on the same doses as you and I'm coming to the end of my 3rd month. My skin is still dry though. Worrying that I've just broke out all of a sudden surely it should get better not worse :/

Yeah... I hear you... Just going to have to wait and see. I don't care if all my acne doesn't go away. I just want the cysts gone forever... they're horrible... :(
