Hi all!
I did seven days of Accutane after I decided I couldn't take because of the side effects. I had the dose of 40mg/day. I've had TCA peels (about 20% strong) made before, and my doctor has required a 6 months' downtime after Accutane. However, since I now only took it for 7 days, would it be possible to have the TCA peel now that 4,5 months have gone?
I already booked time for the treatment (and it's on Friday!) without remembering that I actually took 7 days of Accutane in August. I cannot reach him to ask him personally before the appointment.
Thank you for your quick answers!
Hey Guinea!
Welcome to the forums!
I think you'd be pretty safe after only taking Accutane for a week. The reason you need to wait so long is to let the drug clear completely from your system and allow your body to re-adjust.
If the consultation is free then I suggest still going in to see your doctor but make it very clear to him that you were on Accutane etc. Discuss all possible side effects of doing treatment now.
Good luck, let us know how you go!
