I finished 9 months Accutane course 2 days ago (40mg/day). I was pretty clear, but now I got clogged pores/whiteheads (dunno) all over my cheeks. I am so worried that all my patience with Accutane didn't matter, and it will be the same this time, maybe even worse than before tane. Please, tell me what can I do, because I guess those clogged pores/whiteheads won't go away on their own?
There are no pimples... yet, because I guess sooner or later from those clogged pores something will come out I eat very healthy from Accutane treatment and all I do with my face is washing it with micellar water.
Do clogged pores always turn into pimples and leave red marks or and scars or sometimes they come out "nicely"?
I've read some peoples face returns back to their oily self like pre accutane but minus the break out. So I wouldn't worry so much. Accutane is supposed to last a further 3 - 6 months after you finish its course according to the drug companies who make them.
Clogged pores don't always turn into pimples. My nose is full of clogged pores which I can squeeze out every 6 hours. But thank god I never break out on it.
Thank God, but I was really happy with my face without any whiteheads which were the main problem for me. Now I feel like my Accutane course was pointless and that some day my acne will come back. That's why I want to use Atrederm - it's a Tretinoinum, I've read a lot blogs about it and it seems like Atrederm is magic for clogged pores. But I don't know if I can since our skin is still vety sensitive after Accutane and Atrederm is a retinoid which brings you flaky skin and dryness. I don't want to wait a month or sth and watch how my face turns into shit again.

ask your derm what percentage of retinol to start with.
