Hey everyone. I finished a 6 month Accutane course about six weeks ago, I was wondering how long people typically have to wait to commence another course? Bearing in mind I was a very low dose, 20mg/d...

What type of Acne do you have? I doubt they would put you through much more if you have had 6 months treatment. but I was on 60mg a day for 4 months and then 40mg/ 60 every other day for 2 months. So ...

End of course, 6 months down the line. So I took 20mg/day for 2 months and then 40mg/day for four months. Unfortunately I'm not even remotely clear; I finished about two weeks ago, with a tonne of pi...

Sorry to hear that your skin has relapsed, best of luck with the second course of Accutane. I've been off a 6 month Roaccutane course with the NHS for about two weeks, I think they put me on way too l...

So I've just started week 13 at 40mg/day, but I still have horrendous numbers of new comedones forming on my cheeks and around my chin. People clear up in Month 4, not continue to breakout. This is cr...

Week 9-10: Accutane is such a grind, I really hope this is worth it. Back cysts are about as bad if not worse than before I started, my face is really broken out with pimples (no cysts). When I cover ...

Hey man, good luck on your treatment. The little dots on your cheeks, are they ice-pick scars or deep blackheads?

Update: I only had a prescription for 8 weeks worth of medication, so I'm going without Roaccutane for 3-4 weeks. I'm annoyed, but it was inevitable since I have my A Levels in the next couple of week...

Day 56: In quite a tough place at the moment. My skin is worse than I can ever remember, numerous whiteheads, closed comedones and blackheads across cheeks and around mouth. It was better during the I...

Hey man, I'm literally in exactly the same situation as you. 17, Male, 20mg/day. I've been on it for nearly 5 weeks now, a lot of my clogged pores have gone but I would say my skin is far from perfect...

Day 21: Been on Accutane for 3 weeks now. Some significant developments, I guess: Only 1 active spot Reduced oil production, although skin looks oily today because I probably used too much moisturize...

I've been on Accutane for 3 weeks at 20mg/day, pretty much clear in terms of active spots (tonnes of blackheads c. cheeks/nose). In the past couple of days I've noticed the strangest change in my skin...

Thanks for your replies. I'll try to add photos today or tomorrow. Day 5: 5th pill of 20mg, honestly I haven't noticed any changes - seems that comedones on the cheeks/nose are appearing more promine...

Hey everyone, I was prescribed Roaccutane by the NHS dermatologist last week for moderate bodily acne and mild facial acne, just popped my first pill of 20mg Isotretinoin. I'll keep this thread update...
