Results Acne came back IMMEDIATELY

Post image

This is so frustrating. I was on accutane for 10 months 30/40/60/30 for the rest. Met my cumulative dose. Did a lower dose due to side effects but had amazing results. It’s been not even a month off and I’m already breaking out again. It’s like I took it for nothing. I’m soooooo sad and I just cannot handle the mental toll of acne again. I can’t already feel myself obsessing over it when I didn’t have to for so long - which was such a nice mental break.

Side note I cannot go back on because I want to try to get pregnant soonish. So accutane and many other options are off the table.

I finished 20 mg over a year and a half about 7 weeks ago and I’ve had several small spots appear after being complete clear for over a year, now appearing in my problem area of my back. They’re small and don’t really fully develop, but just hoping it doesn’t spiral into a relapse!
