acne
"I'm on my 6th week of accutane, I suffered from mild/persistent acne for about 6 years, I am now 21. The first few weeks I saw absolutely no results, just dry skin and chapped lips, which progressed to dry skin and bad break outs by week 3 or so. But by week 4 I started seeing my skin clear up, I saw my face completely clear up by the end of week 4 (minus scars). However, after 3-5 days of no new acne I had a flare up, which didn't last long. Now going into week 6 and coming off another acne free week, my acne is flaring up, but not as bad as usual though. I'm on day 40 or 41 and I'm hoping soon these small flare ups go away, but for now all I can do is stay positive."
