Ninja 0 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Whenever I get a tiny and i mean tiny whitehead. It always turns into a hugeeee cyst (like 5mm wide). And then when it pops. It goes through this cycle of refilling itself with more white junk. A cyst typically takes 3 weeks to flatten. And once it goes away... i get triple the amount around the same area.My IB three weeks into tane so far still isn't helping the situation. Any tips? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan8785 0 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I don't have that type of problem, but I did only have 2-3 cysts when starting on accutane, and now, at current count 2 weeks in, I have 10 active cysts. (all on my forehead.) They take around a week for them to go down, and usually never in the same area (although relatively close to the same area.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
