Accutane - Random Breakout

[tblaze04 0]

I have been on accutane 80m/g for 4 months now. My skin has been completley clear for just over a month, until monday and it is now wednesday. I slowly started breaking out again on monday and it has just gotten worse.

I'm wondering if anyone has been through this? And If this is normal to have a couple days of breaking out or if this is weird that i'm breaking out now.

I have not changed my diet/sleep regime/lotion/cleanser. This is just random. I'm getting acne in weird places too; like pimples on my jaw line and above my lips.

From the logs I have followed on here and even youtube, breakouts seem to affect some people until after their treatment has ran its full duration, then they become completely clear; some, however very rarely, still have breakouts after the first course.

I don't know why, that's just what I have observed after sifting through numerous logs.

Your best answer will come from your derm.

thanks that makes me feel better. at first i thought okay accutane stopped working... but if random break outs once in awhile is normal then i geuss i shouldnt worry.

i just hope it gets better its been 3 days!

if anyone else has had an experience like this or knows anything let me knoww !

I've actually had this happen just today.

It started just on Friday, and it was just a few pimples. Now it's a few whiteheads. I don't know where it came from. Easter stress and driving countless hours on the road?

I'm a pretty relaxed guy, so I don't think it's stress.

Before the breakouts I was cleared so well... it was looking great. I am ticked about the scars that will hang around now, but as long as everything goes back to better in time, I'm fine. Just a few obstacles on the way.
