So I'm 2.5 months into accutane and my forehead andtemples (where I now have loads of red marks and some scarring) as well as mychest have all cleared up 95% and my back about 80%... However my cheeks have not really changed at all since day one... In fact my cheeks might even be slightly worse than when I started. It's good to know the accutane is at least working because of other areasbut does anyone else find it odd that my cheeks are unchanged unlike everything else. I'm still breaking out on my cheeks every few days.

When I was in month 2 I was still breaking out on my cheeks pretty badly. I think Accutane just makes it's way around your body so maybeit's choosing to goto your cheeks last! I am in the middle of month 4 now and my cheeks are clear now. There are little breakouts every so often but I think your body is just clearing itself of all acne! It's a process. It'll go away. : )
