Hey all,
Haven't posted on the forum in a long time. I caved in and finally started accutane. I am one month and 3 weeks into my course. Started at 40 mg the first month and started 60 mg my second. I will begin 80 mg for months 3,4,5.
For some reason, my face just started to explode with cysts in the past week... I have no idea why, it's absolutely ridiculous... In the past 2 weeks I stared to eat paleo/primal... The only dairy I consume is grass fed butter and a whey protein purchase off of a primal website.
I talked to my derm and she didn't have much to say about my breakouts.
I'm in my mid 20's and I'm just getting so annoyed with this whole acne process... Any advice?
Hi! I've heard that you can break up at the beginning of the course when you start taking accutane (the so famous initial breakout) and when you start taking higher dose, which is your situation. Right now. Maybe that's the reason for your cysts.
I'm sure you'll break out for 1-2 weeks and then everything will calm down again.
Good luck!
