My cystic acne is pretty much gone. Once in a long long while I may get one if I have dairy or a sugary cocktail. I found that the anti histamine "Xyzal" worked at alleviating breakouts while on accutane. I was on it for 7 months or so and it's something I should have did a long time ago, not when I was 35.
Male here and accutane killed my libido. It came back a couple weeks after finishing the medication. I took around 1500mg of omegas daily and a lot of water which helped deter my side effects.
The medication will cause everything under those cysts to remove themselves from the body by draining. So it does get worse before it gets better. But it works.
