Isotretinoin (Accutane) 3

i am 19 years old and have been on accutane for about 15 days now and my skin hasn't progressed at all and is actually a little worse. I was informed that about 1/3 people on the medication get worse before they see results, so im guessing im one of those, but i really hope i do see major results from this medication. I have stubborn acne around my mouth and jaw. other then that my face is pretty clear and always has been, it is just constant in those infected areas. After 15 days ive experienced the usual symtoms of thinning hair, chapped lips, and dry skin of course.. Hopefully the medication starts to kick in soon for whats its supposed to do

i have been on accutane for 5 months now and my skin looks fenominal! when i first started my accutane my skin deffinately got a little worse and i got scared thinking it was going to stay this way but i promise you once you get over the hump of the skin getting worse your skin starts to look amazing! Dont't think you will look amazing over night. it takes time. but its so worth it!
