Max- 6 Posted November 7, 2007 Hi, I notice that I got more blackheads and clog pores after taking accutane. Is that normal? And does anyone here experiencing this problem as well. If so, how long will it go away? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m00sie 1 Posted November 8, 2007 Yeah they will do that. Your skin is trying to get rid of all the impurities and close your pores up so all the crap in them atm will be pushed to the surface. Ummm ive been on accutane for about 3 weeks and mine are still looking bad. I would expect your skin to be better in a few weeks (around 6-8 weeks into treatment).

Wynne 129 Posted November 8, 2007 Three weeks is really a minute time frame in the course of accutane. You're barely getting started, really. Give it at least two months. Some people break out their entire course and continue improving even AFTER they've stopped the Tane. That happened to me. I had to stop it early due to having emergency surgery but I continued to clear up for many months after I finished my course. I was completely clear by month two or three, I don't remember which.
