Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum so please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm 16 nearing 17. I'm nearing my end of my 5 month accutane journey and I'm very pleased with the results.

My skin is all clear now, few scars and red marks but my derm says the red marks should be gone by September.

My main concern is whats the risk of my acne coming back after accutane? and what should i start doing after accutane? (eg, face washes, cleansers etc.)

Thanks in advanced.

awesome news!

can I ask your weight and dose during your treatment? also when did u stop breaking out during treatment?

From what I have heard some derm rec same gentle routine after tane while others use rx topicals such as retin-a etc ot prevent breakouts

I guess it depend son your Dr

Ok thanks

Im 10 weeks and having the worst breakouts NOW

I started 2 week son 20mg...bumped to 40mg for another few weeks and have been on 60mg since

My Dr wants to bump me ot 80mg for 4 mnths (but at 130 pounds I feel that is too high)

Thanks and I hope all continues to go well with your skin!
