Hello! 

This is my fist post after reading loads of helpful ones on here, but I haven't quite found anyone with my problem/questions so I thought I'd make a post myself. 

I've had acne since I was about 8-9 I think, and it's only been getting worse every year. I'm now 16 years old and have started roaccutane 3 weeks ago. 

So this is my problem, I suffer from extremely oily skin (not so oily now on roaccutane) and have large pores filled with gunk (sebaceous filaments). I know ppl will say it's normal and not visible, but it is VERY visible seeing as I have it all over my face and all over my chest and back. 

I was wondering, will accutane take care of this? Or should I do something about it? I thought about maybe using BP on it since I don't produce any oil anymore, so they won't fill up and maybe "shrink". I am so self conscious about this and I feel disgusting at all times. So are there any ways to fix this, since I'm on roaccutane??

Let accutane do its thing. It should help. A word of warning, don't try to add in topical while on actuate as your skin will be very fragile.

Hey girl! I have the same problem. Tons of sebaceous filments all over my face. Especially my forehead. It feels like every pore is full. Did accutane help?
