Hey guys! 
I'm a 17 year old girl. I've been on 20mg of accutane for almost 3 months now (the third month begins in August 6th) and I've been feeling so bad (not because of accutane directly but because of my acne). My acne is worse than ever and my cheeks, in particular, look awful.. I've never seen them like this , not even before I started the treatment. Because of this, looking in the mirror makes me wanna cry and I just don't know if I'm ever gonna have a clear face. The worst part is that I see people on the Internet saying that their skin looked so much better by  the third month but mine is nowhere near good. My forehead is pretty much clear but It never was a problematic area so I'm not that surprised. My cheeks though... They look horrible and just thinking about It brings tears to my eyes. I'm still breaking out bad and everyday more and more pimples or cysts appear and I feel worse than the day before. Is this normal? Breaking out so much in the third month and face looking worse than ever ? 
I'm seeing my dermatologist again mid september and she said that by that time my skin would look much better but I honestly doubt It now... 
Hope you guys are doing great :)

Accutane works different for everyone, some people don't actually see results until the last month of their treatment, so hang in there, believe that it will work.
