Acne Treatment with Isotretinoin Accutane Part 1

  • Good information. I’m on my fourth month. My derm has me doing a six month course, at 80 mgs a day. I have long term mild, but persistent acne. Is six months a common treatment time?

  • Hey My dermatologist had me on 80 mg a day per six months… By ended up finishing on day 142 because the joint pain and tiredness was awfull… Currently Im 2 week post accutane and skin is clear but still red… Hope you do well but I dont believe you really need 6 months. It might start to bother you when you enter 5th month good luck!

  • Thanks Tim. I’m 44 and had body and joint pain before I started so I figured, I’d deal if I did get that as a side effect. I am tired, and do feel alot of achey-ness. How many months were you on it? I don’t have a red face, I’m fairly pale anyway, but my skin is somewhat fragile. I think I have a bit of rosecea too. So I’m hoping it will just get rid of the oiliness. I’m gonna try to stick it out and see what happens I’ll let ya know! :)
