So i have now completed 9 months of accutane treatment. 40 mg/day pretty much the whole time. i just went to my dermatologist last week and he recommended i continue taking it for 2 more months. i havent had a pimple in about a month probably and i am at this point. do you think it is worth continuing for 2 months? i think it is obvious at this point that i am going to need laser surgery to remove scarring and i have to wait a year from when i stop to do it so is it worth stopping now to have the laser surgery sooner or will the next 2 months be significant to my progress? advice would be much appreciated :)

I would follow your doctor's advice. You've come this far, why not go the extra distance (two more months)?

also, will accutane help fill in the scars that are indented into my skin at all?
