So, I'm starting my 3rd month of Claravis.
First month was 40mg a day.
Jumped to 80mg a day for second month.
So far, the 80mg is starting to work (I think).
Here is a pic from day one and where I am starting month 3!
My wife says it's clearing up fast, but to me I see minimal results
What do you see?
Here is the OLD PICTURE:
Here is the NEW PICTURE (starting 3rd month)
It's hard to tell because of the lighting, but it does look like your back is clearing up. I think you just have a lot of hyper-pigmentation, but that will fade with time.
Sometimes treatments can take a few months before you see any real results, especially with acne that is more resistant.

What is hyperpigmentation? And yeah, I hope whatever it is fades with time lol.
hyperpigmentation is discoloration of the skin after the acne is gone. red marks purple marks etc...
Thanks! I guess I do have a bit of that? My derm hasn't mentioned it. Only thing he's mentioned is maybe sending me to a place that does laser treatment for scars. Does Accutane help the hyperpigmentation at all or does it make it more noticable?
Also, I don't know what that scar looking thing is on the upper left part of my back. Looks like a scar from a cyst maybe? It's under the red inflamed one about 2 inches down. Looks like a deflated blister maybe?
I don't think accutane does anything to help it. The marks do fade, but it usually takes a few months before your skin looks completely even again.
OK cool, thanks for the info. So does anyone know if I should be more clear by now or if this is average for a complete 2 months?
