Accutane - expect acne to worsen at beginning ?
Posted: 08-19-06 12:36pm

Anyone who has ever used accutane..

I am going to my dermatologist on thursday to get on accutane, & I was wondering if I should expect my acne to worsen any in the beginning of treatment. Some people say it worsened for them a little, but some say that they just started clearing up. I am already aware of the dryness, back pain, etc.. But i'm just wondering if I should be prepared for some kind of terrible flare up at first so it won't surprise me. That's really the only thing that i'm worried about.


Any help?
