I'm 29 years old and 190 lbs and have dealt with cystic acne on my back for the past 10 years. Its hormonal acne from when I took pro hormones a decade ago and never recovered. I tried everything, and nothing has successfully cleared me up. I finally decided to pull the trigger and start Accutane; I’m one month into 30 mg of isotretinoin and my skin has never been this clear in my entire life. My back is completely clear, something I haven’t experienced since I was a kid. However, my doctor wants to bump me up to 60 mg, and then to 80. I almost feel like I don’t even need to raise the dose considering how effective 30 mg has been, also I’m already getting frequent nosebleeds so I’m a little bit worried about raising the dose. Any thoughts on maintaining 30 mg for the next eight months?
I’ve heard stories about lowdose Accutane being successful, but the acne, returning after discontinuation
