"i took accutane for 4 months with amazing results when i was 16. i had severe acne on my cheeks, chin, and temples and it all cleared up w/ just some light marks and scars left over. my skin remained clear for about 6 months after i stopped taking it and i didn&#039;t have to use any topic treatments. the acne returned slowly with a few small bumps and got the point where it was just as severe as before. now, a little over a year from when i started my first round, i am on accutane again. now, i am about a month into my treatment and i see fantastic results. this second round is better than the first; the first time, i experienced an initial flare up, this second time, it immediately got better."
