No it's not dangerous. Only thing that I can think of is that your skin might burn easier under the sun and maybe take a bit longer to heal under the drug

All I can really say is that you should have not stopped it without consulting your doctor

Was that your own idea, to stop using it or did the doctor who prescribed it told you to do so?

You are using more bp than your skin can handle and it is making it flake. You need to build up resistance for it by applying it less at first and slowly increasing the amount

Currently I eat scrambled eggs, cucumber and coconut milk yogurt for breakfast, usually chicken with rice or noodles for dinner and for supper I have been recently eating some carrots and same coconut...

I have used isotretinon aka accutane and it did clear my face after 8 months of use but the acne slowly crept back in. I wont probably try it out again since I don't believe it will clear my skin perm...

Hi, I've had acne soon for about 10 years. I first got it at the age of 13 and I will be 23 years old this year. I still struggle with it and it certainly has a big affect on my confidence. I'm ...

Almost no one has perfect skin, even though in photos it might seem so. I know I wouldnt care about scars

Are you aware you are not supposed to be drinking any alcohol while taking this medication?

Thanks for the reply, if someone else has similar type of alternatives that have worked for them I would very much like to hear about them. I checked the retin-a but it seems like it might need a reci...

Around 1,5 years ago I ended my 1st course on isotretinoin and it cleared my skin. After stopping it I started getting some minor spots but nothing too bad. I could not really feel them as sore spot, ...

I just want to update you guys on this topic, I have now been week without the isotretionoin and I havent gotten any new spots after my latest message on this thread. My face is completely clear now, ...

I have tried stopping to eat certain foods that I have thought to might have been the cause but so far I have not noticed any difference. What I find weird is that even though my brother and sister ha...

Hello. I've had acne for 5 years and I got prescription of isotretionoin around 9 months ago. I had dose of 40mg a day for 8 months but I called the doctor as I still had some acne at 8 month. We deci...

It is quite slow process, at least it has been for me. I'm soon done with 8 months and I have had the same dose as you. Though I have improved a lot, I still get occasional spots so I probably will ne...

Hey, I have had acne for around 5 years now and I got prescription for it almost 8 months ago. Prescription was 8 months of isotretinon 40mg per day. Now I only have a week to go. Medicine has sure g...

Just a few weeks ago, I was at my friends high-school graduation party. At one point his sister (who is 18 years old) asks me in the middle of other guests that can she pop one of my pimples? I didn't...

Okay that is relieving to hear. This is how it looks at the moment...

I feel the same as the thread starter. I have had quite nasty acne for 5 years now and I finally got isotretinoin for it. I'm taking 40mg a day for around 3 months now, but I think it has only made m...
