From what I've heard from my dermtologist, 120 mg is the target when dosing heavily (A daily dose of >=1 mg/kg) and 150 mg is recommended when taking less.

The only thing you can do is wait and see how it develops. Many people on here have said their acne comes back after a year but it's much more manageable.   What I generally do is panic and star...

I've found that applying a lot of topical steroids made mine worse. Immediately after applying they were fine but around 5 hours afterwards my lips would start shedding skin and cracking. I stuck to V...

Thank you for the replies!

How do you apply a concealer with flaky skin? Is there a method to it? I'm not exactly experienced haha. Someone mentioned using a primer can help, smashbox or something?   Yeah, I think you ar...

I'm sorry you are still experiencing breakouts, I can understand how frustrated you might be! Based on your weight however, you have reached 80% of your minimum cumulative dosage (120mg/kg) and only 6...

Do you pick them? Honestly that looks a lot like mine used to a few years ago post my severe acne phase. After accutane saved me from the acne, time is what got rid of MOST my scars. I think yours wil...

It's never a bad idea to start saving if it is a route you possibly want to take after your accutane course. I think the overall texture and color of the scars will even out greatly by the time comes ...

Does anyone think I should do anything for my scars? I've looked at this forum for awhile and a lot of people are posting 'look at my scar' topics who don't have any scars whatsoever. I'd thought bein...

I've added the pictures if you want to take a look. I'm using the Cetaphil gentle cleanser and moisturising lotion at the moment. If I stopped using a moisturiser my face wold completely dry up and fl...

I've read quite a lot on these forums and read about people not clearing from accutane even after 6+ months. I never thought I could be one of these people, I thought accutane might finally end the ye...

I haven't heard of it until now but I've read into milia and apparently it's to do with your sweat glands. Accutane affects like glands in your body so there is a good chance it will do something. I w...

Thanks for the info! Yeh I have been on lymecline for well over a year it worked at first but now doesn't do much except if I come off of it my skin goes terrible. Also had all the topical creams yada...

The common side effects are dry skin, lips and eyes. There are other more serious ones but there is debate whether accutane actually causes them, like depression for instance.   The side effect ...

I'd suggest you try antibiotics for a while and see what happens. Maybe benzoyl peroxide plus a topical antibiotic could be a good option, that worked for me for a long time. I think both are cheap, a...

How long did it take you to see an improvement with Accutane? I'm 3.5 months in and keep getting repeated break outs of cysts. Is this something you experienced?

It's important to see treatment for acne as a long term process. Unfortunately, all treatment generally takes a month to start working properly. I guarantee if you used retina a and benzoyl peroxide f...

Firstly, your not alone. I'm exactly 3.5 months in and taking 50mg a day and I weight 150lbs. I've had the same experience with break outs, except with cysts all over my cheeks. I posted something tha...

Thanks for the replies. I've been taking photos nearly every day to see the process and it's hard to look through 3 months and see it staying the same or getting worse. I believe it will get better in...

Thanks for your reply, it helps. I understand about the purging effects and I try to mentally prepare myself but it's a little hard sometimes. She is fine with me being on it still as my blood tests a...

I've been on accutane for 2.5 months. I was on 30mg for the first month, 40mg for 1.5 months and now taking 50mg (I weigh around 65kg / 145lbs). My acne has gotten considerably worse since I've starte...
