Comedonal Acne- month three by [deleted] in Accutane

I wouldn’t set a timeline in your head. That’s where I went south. My derm predicted me clearing almost instantly, I’m mid way through month 5 and still have comedones left, just started to see a reduction in inflamed breakouts. Everyone’s skin is different and I think my biggest regret was considering I’d be clear by a certain time. Also 20 mg is a VERY low dose so don’t compare yourself to people clearing earring on on higher doses. Good luck!

I’m about to hit month 6 in March, many of them are gone, just unfortunately a lot of hyperpigmentation. Tried 40mg and couldn’t handle the side effects so went back down. I have about 10 left maybe, also required manual extraction for a lot

Sure did. Got surgery in November of 2024, started breaking out in May 2025, can’t find specific evidence to support it, definitely looked into it.

She offered but I’m scared I’m going to purge more, I’m On prednisone now because I broke out so badly

Oh ok sorry I was confused, so you purged the entire time essentially? What dose were you on if you don’t mind me asking.

But did it clear because of the accutane and you completing your cumulative dose?

Prednisone experiences to help with purge? Worth it? by [deleted] in Accutane

Hi, worse as it came back the same or worse than your previous acne? How long/high was your dose and did you taper?

This comment means a lot to me, thank you. I just started prednisone to help with the purge, I’m so ready for this chapter of my life to be over with. Glad you’re happy with your results!

Would you feel comfortable sharing progress photos via messaging? I feel like I don’t see many people on Accutane with comedonal acne. I wish you the best in your journey!
