it's definitely working, almost all your active acne is gone, but you're left with those red marks that take a while to go away, usually between 3-6 months.

It sucks that they take so long to go away. Do you know if the accutane itself helps them?

my derm said my red marks will be gone before I finish my six month course, that's all I know. don't worry about them, Accutane is healing your face nicely and those red marks will go soon, you'll notice when they start fading.

I'm worried because I still have a few closed comedones...Does that mean they'll turn into big nodules? 🙁

Are both the pictures the same cheek?

If so I definitely see an improvement. Well done!

Did you get an initial breakout though?

I'm so afraid to go on accutane.

Yes, both are the same cheek. I did get an  IB, so about a month in it was actually worse than the second pic, probably explaining why I have so much red marks. :(

I wouldn't be afraid, it seems to work really well.

not necessarily, I've had a few of those and they just went away.

Then to be honest with you. There is indeed an improvement. 

You have lesser acne. Really.

Anyways, how fast did your IB went away? How long did it last?

I think it lasted for about a month? I remember during the second month most of the pimples had gone away.
