Hey Guys,
Im new to these forums so Im not sure if i am posting in the right field but ill try anyway. I am in my 3rd month of my accutane cycle. I have had bad cystic acne on my face,chest, and back for about 4 years now. Although, i have seen improvement throughout my cycle, I have a fear that accutane will not be able to clear all of my acne. I am still experiencing breakouts on and off . A lot of people seem to say that you get better around the second month but i am past that and still have a lot of acne. Should i expect results to come in the next cycles or am I past the point to expect major results? I also know everyone is different but I am really worried cuz i would like to get rid of my acne when i go back to school. Any feedback from people who have been on accutane would really help.
A bit of advice. Don't put a timeline on getting rid of acne, it will come back to bite you every single time. Accutane is a funny drug where some people clear up quickly and some don't clear up till after their course. Keep on keeping on. Worst case scenario is that you have to do a second course.
