"i am 15 and a half, and i have been on accutane for about one month now, and i have noticed my acne has gotten terribly worse. i&#039;m breaking out all around my mouth, which was not my problem area when i was not on it. i have had bad back pains, but i am a dancer, so i don&#039;t know if its from that, or the medicine. i recently went to the dermatologist, and he upped my dose from 40 mg to 60 mg. besides dry lips, i have not had any other side effects. my skin wasn&#039;t even drying out, which is one reason why my dermatologist upped the dose. i really hope my skin starts clearing up soon."
