I've been on roaccutane for almost 4 months now when will my skin full clear?

Question

i have 2 pills every day and im still getting a few pimples maybe 3 on my face at one time, there not big but its starting to annoy me, when can i expect it to stop

Answer 1

This depends on the dosage you're on (not the number of pills).  If you're taking a low dose (between 20mg and 40mg per day), then it will take longer for your acne to subside.  If you're taking a larger dose (40 mg to 80mg per day), then your acne should be clearing more quickly.  Accutane dosage is also based on body weight, however -- not just acne severity.  So, you should follow your physician's directions.  If you are dissatisfied with your progress, you should discuss this at your next follow-up appointment to consider increasing the dosage so that you get faster results.  Better results are seen with Accutane at higher dosages, usually.
