Im currently 14 years old, and Ive been struggling with acne for around 2-3 years. I used to be on a regiment of dapsone gel in the morning, arazlo (tarazotene) at night, as well as 100mg minocycline taken once daily. It controlled my acne pretty well, but I recently started breaking out again and the doctor (in America btw) said to continue my course, and if it didnt work, to then start accutane. I then visited a doctor in China (peking university shenzhen branch one of the best in the nation) and they simply prescribed me a 12 day course of doxycycline with fucidic acid and a retinoid, and then gave me 10mg isotretinoin (Im 64 kg btw)to take daily afterwards (she didnt ask for any blood testing, only for weight and any medications I was currently taking). Im currently 4 days into my isotretinoin, and I want to know what results are realistic and what I should do. Will it take longer than normal accutane? By how much? How does it impact side effects? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
