So I've had bad acne since I was 17. It eventually got better when I turned 21 but I still kept getting 1 or 2 huge cysts per month. So I was out on 40mg accutane. Today is my 5th day on it and I am already frustrated. Before I took this pill I had one  pimple on my face. 5 days into my regimen and I have 6 active pimples on my face and my skin is red and peeling very bad. I almost want to stop accutane. I cant handle this initial breakout. Anyone else take accutane and dealt with an initial breakout ?? I will post pics also

I'm on day 6 and have tons of new whiteheads, unfortunately the IB happens on Accutane but don't give up ! You will look great in the end.
