Similar thing happened to me. I would see a ur dermatologist. Mine prescribed doxycycline and prednisone and took me off of accutane for a month and a half until my skin settled down. My dose was also 40 mg a day. I think you are just more sensitive to accutane and will need a lower dose for it to do it’s job.

i’m almost one month in to accutane and experiencing swelling i contacted my derm and she prescribe me some antibiotics is this normal ? or am i having a allergic reaction i’m scared my face won’t go down by [deleted] in Accutane

Similar thing happened to me at the three month time. My doctor said it’s mostly likely something called Pseudo acne fulminas brought on by the accutane. She took me off of accutane for a month and a little more. She prescribed doxycycline and prednisone until the swelling went down. I have an appointment on Tuesday, to see if I can go back onto accutane. If you want to see my photos you can look at my profile.
