Hi, i am on accutane (10mg) for the 5th day and visible breakout are beginning to develop on my chin and eyebrow areas. On top of that, i am also taking augmentin to reduce the swelling of the papules. How long does it take for these papules to be effectively clear?

it depends on the person...you will not get an answer to this question! MY IB just cleared up...only to find another breakout form yesterday...i'm about to start month 2!

Good luck! it's a roller coaster!

I had my IB on the third day, 4 big cysts developed along jawline and neck. Yiiiikes!

I'm with you, hope this works! LOL

But I know it will, Initial breakout is common among people with severe enough acne to be on Accutane. Gotta put up with the 4-6 weeks of hell, to enjoy the lifetime of heaven :)

I had an IB when I started and then when my dosage was upped. I didn't start seeing results until my third month, really. Stick with it!
