Accutane/trentoin

[Anthony1985]

I’m currently on trentoin rn but haven’t taken in it around 2 weeks ish but I was on it for around 2 months I’ve been prescribed accutane for 40mg but I was thinking of getting a lowered dosage first do you think I could clear my skin without it or take accutane? (First photo is before trentoin)

40mg is suited, your tolerance with topical retnoids is decent (im guessing if you took tret for 2 months) just watch side effects. and yes ur bones can turn yellow especially if your taking 40mg for long term which im hoping ur not.

I’m only taking it for 6 months you don’t think 20mg for 6 would be better if possible?

whats your body weight? if you really can't decide dosage try out 20mg for 1-2 months and monitor side effects if its mild you can go on 40mg

tret is significantly better for you at your skin now just because accutane is so harmful to your health in general. tret takes longer but has life master effects id say.

How long do you think before my skin would clear up on tret if you had to guess?

your skin has significantly improved so i’d say if you stick to the tretinoin for 5 months you will have mostly clear skin
