took accutane for 6 months first two months at 40mg then dr up it to 80mg a day, 3 months later worst break out of my life on my chest. never had acne on my chest only on my back. Its not worth the risk, i could have lived with back acne but choose to get on it for a photo shoot and look what happens now the side that you see in a picture looks like someone shot me with a paintball gun. get yourself a good cream and always wear clean clothes/towels and lay off the junk food. There are other medications out there to try first. dont jump on accutane unless you have tried everything and gave it atleast 2months to work as a zit on average takes 2-3 weeks to grow from your pores to where its noticeable. My .02 cents. Not worth it, never will i use that shit again. you have nose bleeds, your skin is ashy so you have to constantly put lotion on. not to mention your not supposed to be out in the sun for to long cause it does more harm, and you dont want to take it during the winter cause you will get even more dried out. so there really is no good time to take this shit unless you love going through a tube of chapstick a week and buying lotion out the ass.
