Hi everyone, I am a 20 years old male. I am really worried with the current condition of my face. It seems to me that my acne has gotten a lot worse since I started taking accutane (20mg) 31 days ago. I have read many people saying that it is normal and even my derm warned me about the purging process that might happen along the way. However, it has been a hard time for me to go through and I started doubting the medication as the current situation is extremely bad. in addition, I also have a lot of redness that seems to never go away and this adds insult to the injury. Can you guys help shed some light please?

I'm on day 29, at 60mg a day, and only over the last day or so I have noticed an improvement (minus one monster on my chin).

I did start doubting it myself but I guess we all have to wait. Sadly. I think we all want something to work within a week!

Keep with it!

Hang in there. If it is way worse than what you started with, you can reach out to your derm about possibly prescribing something like prednisone to curtail the inflammation.
