Hi,

 

I am 23 years old and started accutane February 2015, my starting dose was 20mg for 1 month 40mg for 1 month then ive been on 60mg until now (the first week of my 4th month). I had the intilted flare up pretty much straight away but after 6weeks my face started to clear n stayed like that until the end of month 3. Ive had 3 new cysts come up and my face looks worse than ever!

 

Is the normal? Has any1 else had flares ups at this stage? Is accutane going to work?

 

Thanks

Sounds like upping the dosage kicked it into gear. Normal.

So it's normal for this to happen at such a late stage? I only have 8weeks left on accutane my face was much clear 6 - 14 weeks in.

Oh I misread your post. Sorry about that --

 

Did you do anything else differently that might have triggered it? Remember that Accutane makes it harder for you to break out, not impossible.
