Accutane treatment Dermatologist?

Can any doctors or people who finished Accutane help me?





Hi so I decided to go on accutane to treat my break outs and now I am starting my fifth month of accutane. Over the months I have seen some improvements but nothing too dramatic (I still have redness and scarring. And I do occasionally break out) Anyway my dermatologist has been keeping me on the same low dosage for the past 4 months!! it wasn%26#039;t until i complained about me breaking out again till she actually started increasing my dosage... I also hear from other people that their dermatologist kept increasing their dosage every month and now they have ridiculous clear skin





I feel that my dermatologist is keeping me on a low dosage so I can come see her every time so she can make more money! (sorry for any specialist doctors who get offended by this but seriously I am getting aggravated that my skin is not COMPLETELY CLEAR like the before and after pictures I always see)





So my question is:


Q1: Do you think my dermatologist is holding back on me?


Q2: I don%26#039;t know how long she wants me on accutane but... when will I actually have clear skin with no redness!? [ITS MY 5TH MONTH ALREADY]|||I%26#039;m also on my fifth month of accutane. I don%26#039;t know what dosage you%26#039;re on, but if it%26#039;s 30mg/day or less that would be strange, unless you only have mild-moderate acne. The biggest factor in your dosage is your weight, but the severity of your acne could also be a factor. You don%26#039;t necessarily need to have your dosage increased each month, but it depends on what you%26#039;re started out at, I guess. I%26#039;ve been on 50mg/day throughout my entire course (five months). I weigh 50kg and I had severe nodular acne when I started the drug. My skin isn%26#039;t completely clear now, I still have redness and a few small bumps on my cheeks, but I%26#039;m extremely happy with the results I%26#039;ve gotten. Anyhoo, I%26#039;ll do my best to answer your questions...





A1: It%26#039;s hard to say without knowing your actual dosage, weight, and the severity of your acne. If you%26#039;re really getting annoyed with your derm, you could always switch to someone else.





A2: Hopefully you won%26#039;t be on accutane for too much longer. An average course lasts 4-6 months and it can be dangerous to be on the drug for too long of a period. Accutane will do nothing for redness and scars. Some of the redness you have is actually caused by the accutane, as it causes your skin to flush. That will go away when you stop taking the accutane. If you have hyperpigmentation (red marks) left behind from acne, it will fade over time. It could take anywhere from a few weeks to several years for it to fade.|||Accutane is one of the most harmful drugs out there in my opinion. And the acne always comes back worse after you stop. I know because I had two courses with it. Ended up losing my hair too.





If you really want to cure acne for good, you need to do it in a natural manner. Otherwise you could have acne into your adult years like thousands of other people like I did.
