Hi everyone, I am new here. I am Shaun, 16 this year. Nice to meet all of you. But can I ask you guys a question? I just started taking Accutane (Isotretinoin) for about 5 days now. But is it normal to have a breakout once you take the Accutane? I had a bad breakout once I started taking the medicine. Full of pustules.. Will it go away?
yes i have hs since taking this it has moved to my face from groin and armpits please also be very carful i have been taking this for 2 months and now have been taken of it due to suicidal thought and attempts and a lot of side effects am not sure it will go away but the dermatoloist advised me that could take upyo 4 - 6 months for the medication to kick in hope this helps and good luck
Hi Amanda! Thank you for the reply! Hope all is well on your side, hope you have a speedy recovery to acne free face! 👍
hi Shaun. I am the mother of a 17 yr old who has just finished accurate so trust me there's nothing that we haven't experienced. My son and I have been on a very long roller coaster. His derm told him that he may get a breakout in the early days but he didn't. Having said that his skin was so bad that even if he had I'm not sure we would have noticed. You are only 5 days or so into accurate so please you must be patient. You are obviously concerned or you wouldn't be on here. You might wake up one day and find another cluster of spots but pls don't give up. This is a long process but so worth it in the end. Try not to worry because these tablets don't work overnight .
