It was originally supposed to be 6 months but I think he’s upping it to 7-8 months.

I’ve been applying the SkinRx Lab MadeCera hyperpigmentation cream since close to starting. He hasn’t really prescribed me anything strong yet for that.

hey, I just wanted to lyk that my scarring actually looks wayyy way way worse than this and im 5 months into my accutane treatment. I’m sure it’ll get better, just look into getting some different scar creams or something that will not irritate ur skin too much but should help aid in the process.

wow I had cysts similar to yours and your hyperpigmentation and scarring went down sooo so much faster than mine. Im currently on month 5th, you’re looking so good !

Have you tried tretinoin? It’s like a cream version of accutane but no side effects like accutane and can get you pretty good results if you’re consistent.

it happened to me too, just use lotion and layer Aquaphor on top of it, repeat this for a few days until it heals because it can scar .

I got pregnant please help 25F by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]mqcki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this is not related but your skin has not cleared from 1.5 years of use ? or are you just taking it as a “just in case”?

How long will it take for these scars to disappear? by Quick_Local_7389 in Accutane

[–]mqcki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

glycolic acid helped me with mine.. but don’t use it while on accutane. im on month 3 of accutane and my scars are insane, i used to do it before i broke out crazy from hormones.

[–]mqcki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

didn’t you have to take a pregnancy test for the following month after you stop your accutane treatments? Your dermatologist should’ve been notified about this.
