I worried myself sick over this, But some people don't get a break out, I didn't get one. So hopefully you'l be one of the lucky ones ☺️

Yes it's fine, I missed a week. Some people miss more, it stays in your system for up to 5 weeks so you'l be ok

I missed a week of pills because I couldn't get a hospital appointment when I had run out of them and had to wait. My derm told me it was fine because accutane stays in your system up to 5 weeks so do...

I was told by my derm not to do any exercise because of this reason. Your going to ache and experience a lot of pain If you exercise a lot whilst taking accutane

From what I've read on here and from my experience I don't think many people see any results until a few weeks into the treatment so don't worry it will get better you just have to give it time and y...

Some things that have helped me..   Cetaphil cleanser and moisturiser, la roche posay cicaplast pro recovery skincare for any dry patches and aquaphor for lips! but I use it on my face sometime...

I hope you start to feel better there's nothing worse than having to deal with depression and anxiety, I've been through it myself and it was all to do with acne I feel. I personally think accutane ha...

No it won't make a difference because it stays in your system for up to a month after u stop taking it, I went without mine for a week because I couldn't get an appointment at the hospital. So don't w...

There's a lot of people that break out when they start taking it but then there's also Some people that don't break out. I didn't so there's a chance that it might not happen

Yes it's normal to break out when you first start taking it. I have itchy/sore skin too but it's only started now and I'm on my 4th month of accutane. I also have a bit of dry skin and lips. I use cet...

It's different for everyone so you never know what your gonna get. I haven't had many side effects at all just the dry skin/lips and nose. I'm on my 4th month of my 5 month accutane course, only now t...

I've been on accutane for 4 months and until now I haven't really had many side effects. At first I had dry lips and skin which is expected but nothing major! Easily controlled if you use the right pr...

I'm also on my 4th month taking 60mg a day, just like you my skin started to get so much better, I was so happy! and then about 2 weeks ago i broke out quite badly! Talk about depressing I thought th...

I use cetaphil moisturiser, and on the really dry parts of my skin I use la roche posay cicaplast pro recovery skincare, it's amazing try it! It's really helped me.

I know how you feel. Exact same thing has happened to me, I've been on the same doses as you and I'm coming to the end of my 3rd month. My skin is still dry though. Worrying that I've just broke out a...

It also stays In your system up to a month after you finish taking it. A friend of mine went on holiday 2 weeks after finishing it and she burnt really badly. If your going to go no matter what Just b...

It makes me feel exactly the same, I hardly leave my house and have no confidence what so ever. If this doesn't work for you then don't be afraid to take accutane, I was at first but slowly my skin is...

I know some people get a breakout when they start accutane but i haven't myself. Nothing more serious than what I already had before anyway. I'm only half way through and my skin in looking great I ha...

Before I started accutane I was really worried about the side effects especially the dry skin as some people say it's so bad you look hideous! Fortunately it hasn't been too bad for me. I'm now on my ...

My story seems really similar to yours, I've suffered with acne since I was young and I've just turned 22 and I've had every type of medication and creams you can think of! And nothing has worked! The...

Thank you for the replies, so glad to hear that! No longer have to worry I will lower the dose too thanks for your help!

I've just started my 3rd month of accutane. ( doing a 6 month course all together) and I usually go back to my derm every 4 weeks exactly so I can get more medication before I run out, but next month ...
