"i&#039;m 15, and four weeks into accutane treatment. my initial breakout is just now dying down, and for a while i was seriously concerned. my acne for the past 4 years has been pretty horrible to deal with, but during these last few weeks is the worst it&#039;s ever been. i was also breaking out on my chest (which had never been a problem before.) i know things are getting better though, my skin looks and feels better where i&#039;m not breaking out and my scars are fading. despite the extreme dry skin and lips, i feel that accutane will improve my acne significantly, and i am desperately hoping that it won&#039;t return once i get off the medicines."
