I got my bloodwork back and my white cell count and neutropenia were very low. The dermatologist told me to go directly to emerge here to see them so i did. He said he was 95 percent positive its from the Accutane which i was only on for 1 month but now off of. I took my last pill Thursday morning. I had 2 left and throw them away. He said to call my doctor on Monday and make an appointment with him and to get bloodwork done once a week to see if they will go up. He said they should but it could take time because Accutane is still in my system. I googled it and it could take up to 2 weeks to go away. If my level dont go up or they go down i have to go see a hematologist. Im trying not to worry as i have read this has happened with other people as well and had to stop using it. Any feedback would be great
