Im on 60mg a day of accutane and in the first week of my 4th month, my skin is wore than ever ive got 3 large cysts on my face when ive only ever suffer from 1 recurring cyst.

 

Is it normal to breakout at this stage?

What causes these breakouts?

Is accutane making my skin worse?

1. Yes, currently on my 4th month as well and I still get breakouts. Nothing in our control. I see the most results myself after I'm done with Accutane. (on my 3rd course)

2. Just like any other regular acne, oil glands and bacteria blah blah.

3. No. Accutane does work it just needs time.

 

Good lucl!

Thank you for your reply this is my 1st time on accutane my skin was lovely n clear between week 8 - 15 then all of a sudden these cysts started appearing, I wasn't sure if this was normal. My derm won't up my dose as Im 62kg I will continue on 60mg for the last 8 weeks
