Anyway, accutane "closes" your sebaucus glands and that causes the oil present in there to rise to the surface...this will obviously cause cystic acne to form. So your acne will get worse before it gets better on accutane.
The acne on my shoulders is already extremely bad. I don't know why I only go it on my shoulders but thats the way it is. My scrip for accutane was given by a dermatologist. I was just hoping to see "some" improvement by now. Its pretty much just as bad as in the beginning, It did get worse and now back to the way it was. I guess I'm getting a little worried it isn't going to work. The doc figures it should be cleared up by the end of a 4 month cycle first month at 40mg ed then the other three at 80mg a day.
