Accutane dosage? (+ pics)

[volgaTz]

This is my skin rn
Sometimes it's a bit better, sometimes I have some breakouts with 1 or 2 big oily pimples

Spoiler: forehead

Spoiler: chin

My Accutane should arrive today, and I am thinking of starting with 10mg ed to fix my mild face acne
Problem is I also have bad body acne (especially back and chest) which will get worse on blast (day 6 rn of 70mg test e daily)

I am 77kg rn, and my cumulative dose would be like 11,550-16,940mg (150-220mg/kg), but I would have to take it for 3-4 years then, if I stay at 10mg daily.
I probably will have to up the dosage cuz of my blast if the acne gets worse.
I also just thought of starting at 20mg to avoid going through the purging phase twice when upping the dose, if that's how it works?

How bad is the purging phase on 10mg vs 20mg?

What would y'all recommend in my case?

I just did the theoretical math for my cumulative dose

 

[volgaTz]

at 77kg its 20mg x2 daily

Why would I need 40mg? My acne isn't as severe, or is it?

 

[bIackpill]

Why would I need 40mg? My acne isn't as severe, or is it?

the dosing it 0.5mg/kg/day

 

[volgaTz]

the dosing it 0.5mg/kg/day

I'm pretty sure it depends on the acne state

 

[bIackpill]

I'm pretty sure it depends on the acne state

you do you, you can try 20mg daily

 

[volgaTz]

you do you, you can try 20mg daily

How much different is the purging phase on 10/20/40mg? And if I increase it?

no idea, i just told you how accutane is being doses clinically, but even 40mg is used for a chill acne

 

[oxytocincel]

why accutane brother just use for nose reduction there are so many better options

 

[bIackpill]

yeah nvm its not for a chill acne but just average therapy

you should try 40mg

no lol, there are 0 better options than isotretinoin

 

[volgaTz]

I think I will start with 20mg first and up the dosage later on

Take an antihistamine daily, it will help you with your purge phase

Start on 20mg daily at minimum

No point doing 10mg as it probably won't be enough to properly clear your skin (esp body acne) and will be a nightmare to hit optimal cumulative dose

3-4 years is actually way too long. I sent you a guide from me. I would recommend you to go to 20 mg, 10 mg would be very little. 20mg is still a low dose. The Purge is not that bad. I might have got 5 pimples that are already gone again. It is much more important that you have good care so that your skin does not dry out completely. I think most of my guide you already know but what might be of interest to you: I've put examples of dosages and a skin care tutorial into it

Wash your face morning and evening with a mild face wash. The face wash should not contain any additional acne medication. After washing, apply a moisturizing cream. Again, avoid creams with acne medication. For your lips, use vaseline or a lip balm. When you go outside, apply a low-fat sunscreen with SPF 50 to your face. Before going to bed, reapply the cream and the vaseline or lip balm. It's also a good idea to always carry hand cream with you.

Why do people even do these retarded dosages nowadays? Debating between 10mg and 20mg? Seriously dude??

Take 40mg and forget

 

[Kojo]

I'm pretty sure it depends on the acne state

It really doesn't, in totality at least.

You might wanna finish ur course quicker if you have more acne hence dosing variability. However beyond that it doesn't change a thing

You're welcome. *If you want, you can also use a sunscreen lip balm, which protects your lips more

I am already using red vaseline ed for many many months, now I will put extra red vaseline at night and combine both ig or maybe only the lip balm, we'll see I have never tested it b4
