100mg dosage? No effects, but is it working?

Hi,

New to this forum. After years of acne, i decided to pay for Accutane treatment, as various other treatments have proved unsuccessful. I have been prescribed 100mg a day, at first i had dry lips and skin, however moisturiser and vaseline have sorted this. Although my skin has cleared a bit (there are few big spots) i have lots of blackheads and red marks, and i seem to have more outbreaks on my face. When do you really see your skin start to clear (i am finishing week 8 of 16 week course)??

Thanks,

James

you are only half way thru? i thought this was gonna be like... " i finished my course... and i still have really bad acne"

dont worry about it! it will go away. you will not see close to full benefit until you are at least 3/4 way thru ur treatment... give it several more weeks...
