Im 21 years old and just recently started on accutane. Ive been taking it for only 4 days and already am having more flare ups on my face consisting of mostly Whiteheads. My depression is through the roof because of this. I feel so ugly and so gross I can barely take it. Its on my mind constantly. Im so close to just giving up. I like to take pride in my looks like most people so Im really shattered by this.
Is it a good sign Im already having an initial breakout? Is it gonna get worse from here?? Im on 40mg a day for 5 months. Im trying to keep my head straight and just stick with it, but its very tough especially with work and school! Any answers are appreciated and thank you.

You definitely must prep yourself for worsening acne. Accutane purged me so bad for the first few months. If you can get through the initial purge, things will get easier.

What are some ways to prep myself?
