Hi! So Im an 18 year old female weighing about 120lbs. Im currently on month 2 of my accutane treatment and Im taking 60mg a day. So far Ive had extreme back pain, dry lips, and nosebleeds. Other than that, I have not had any dryness on my face and Ive seen no improvement in my skin and Im breaking out on my neck, chin, and forehead which has never happened to me before (my acne has always been on my cheeks). I emailed my derm and she said that I should have seen improvement by now. Has anyone else taken a long time to see results? I just want to know if I should stick with the medication. Ive tried everything else and this is my last resort.
Hello first i'm not dermatologist
During my cure, i've a big inflammation like you in my 3 month.
I've seen another dermatologist and tell me that i've a lot of "cyst" in reality it was a little cyst ..
He has extract me during 4 sessions after that my cure was really good
Now i'm 2 months post accutane and all it's good just i need to improve the scars
I write you because i'm pretty sure that if my extrations was did BEFORE accutane, I will not scared.
So I don't know were you are but if you have the possibility to have an other professional opinion on your case it always good !
Edit: your dosage is also very strong, i'm 154lbs and 60mg was for my last months before was 20/20/40..
