Hi

I have bad body acne and facial acne, I've been on 2 courses of accuratane in 2010 and 2013 but did not cure....

I'm going to do one last course in 2017,  however now i have these dried up pimples that I don't think will ever dissappear.  

What can I do?

Why 2017 for Accutane?

I'm going to be really busy next year with some stuff, so at least in 2017 I won't have much to do. Also when I was on Accutane these dried pimples didn't go away. I'm afraid that I might have to go for some operation to remove it.

I hope after my third course I will be cured :/

I think those are not dried up pimples. Those are actually raised scars or also know as keloids. I have a couple of those on my shoulders! :(

I don't think it will ever go away :( 

As for Accutane, i dont see anything else that is stronger and noted to help. I'll have to give it a chance for a whole year and a good dose. I believe my 2 courses were short like 6-7 months

Hi.. I have this same keliods on my body.. I used hexilak silicon gel, or opexa GEl daily.. Opexa is better ... It works slowly.. Do kryotherapy from a good dermatologist.. It helped me..

I agree with everyone that says they are keloid scars. Not sure what can be done about them though. If you've done 2 courses of accutane, I don't think a third will be the solution. Have you tried diet changes and such?

I don't know what else option I have right now other than Accutane to help...I'll have to give it one more chance, my last two courses were short and VERY low dose. So maybe pick up the dose and duration could work. And I'm not in my teens anymore so that could be a good thing I guess.

As for the keloids, I'm not concerned about it now as I need my acne gone.

my diet is fine, I even did a detox

Hi blazerc,
I have had experience with antibiotics and accutane for a long time. It didn't cure me, and I I'm sure its not a cure. Accutane is very dangerous, its harmful side effects wont go away.. After more than 15 years treating this problem of keliods all over my body and pimples, I am doing an ayurveda treatment in india. Its a customized treatment based on new research By a very good doctor. After 20 days of treatment now, I'm feeling better mentally, physically and the acne and keliods have slowly began disappearing.. No one has ever done this specific treatment for this problem, and coz of my doctors special interest, and his experience, this has worked! Its fully natural, and to get it fully cured, the treatment should be done for 2 years..
