"i have been on accutane for exactly 2 months now. it was prescribed by my gp but she didn&#039;t have enough knowledge on my skin and how much dose i should take, so i went to a derm. i was still breaking out really bad, my skin was still oily. she put me on 60mg, with the 10mg my gp prescribed i thought the side effects were already terrible so being put on 60mg was a bit nerve wrecking. but its almost a month, yes the higher the dose the more terrible the side effects are. i am happy with the progress, my acne started in my early 20s, i&#039;m in my mid 20s now a few small pimples that are easily covered up by make up. my pre scars have improved a lot. my one problem is i am really dark. even though i use spf 50 sunscreen. so trying to work on that."
