ohtokyovogue 6 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I was on accutane for 7 months 2nd course. It cleared me up I am not oily but I'm dealing with this and never have before on my cheeks. My derm put me on spironolactone I really hope it helps this is so frusturating... I've only been off accutane for 2 months this sucks !!!! [removed] [removed] Oh I'm using tazorac too but I've been using it since off accutane so I'm not sure if that's contributing ahh please help! The acne is more red and irritated in person. My galaxy s5 camera made them look not as red for whatever reason stupid camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiffchocolate 5 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm dealing with the same but I'm only 3 weeks post accutane.. I have slot of hyper pigments on and a few new spots. The redness should fade. My deem said it goes within 1&1/2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Accutane cant cure Acne since its primarily caused by your own immune systems inflammatory response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtokyovogue 6 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 I reached my target dose I was on 80mg most of my course for 7 months so I'm not really sure by cumulative but I was just trying to follow my derms suggestion of going on it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
