Acne getting worse on accutane
Good Afternoon,
I have been taking Accutane for over 3 weeks now. I have been fighting with my acne for about 8 years now. I've tried every antibiotic cream gel everything and nothing ever helped. I am on 20mg Accutane once a day, my skin went from oily to try , my lips are a little bit dry but nothing major.
My acne is getting worse instead of g
