Is 10mg of accutane enough for my acne

[Sanemaxx]

Im 17 years old, 189cm tall (6,25). I hopped on 10mg of accutane a week ago.
My acne is pretty severe as you can see in these pics. Do you think this dosage is enough or should i ask my dermatologist, if i can take more.

benzyol + retinol otc were enough to kill off my acne completely

it will do the job however it might take long and chances are you will get a bad purge.

i would stop the accutane temporarily and ask the derm for oral oryhtromycin to prevent it

Is oryhtromycin like a lighter version of accutane, right? Why is it better to do that before, does it prevent scarring?

My derm told me i will take 10mg until mid January and up from then perhaps 20mg and so on and so on

its an antibiotic, yes you use it to prevent scarring before and during an accutane course

30-50 mg weekly, 10 mg each time

30-50 mg weekly, 10 mg each time

Im taking 10mg per day, so 70mg per week. Is it too much?

I thought about finishing accutane treatment first, which will take about till august and than if needed im going to use topical tretinoin. Bc i heard that clears up almost any scarring. Don’t know if its true tho.
Is this a good plan aswell?

its not true, it only clears up very superficial scarring in a long amount of time. its a very bad plan

if you get unlucky the purge will fuck you like nothing else, its just not worth the risk to not insure yourself with an antibiotic

10mg is wild NGL. I weigh fucking 55kg and take 40mg

My derm told me the purge can only occure within the first fortnight of the treatment and the possibility is minimal. Haven’t noticed any worsening more like it got a bit better, but for sure not worse.

People that took it also told me that they haven’t had any kind of purge

That’s crazy, how are you still living.
But you don’t do it offically right. There is no way a legit dermatologist would prescribe you such high dosages at that weight.

2 weeks is nothing, absolutely no changes should be expected in that time. your dermatologist is a clown. a purge can be minimal or severe, with a persistent, regular, medium acne its expected to be on the severe side

you could also just get no purge, but thats completly up to chance, which is why you want to leave no chances on something you might regret for life

My lips are dry on some days and my skin is slightly flaky. My dermatologist let me do it. 0.7 ratio is not even high. The recommend is 0.5-1.0. some take 2.0

no you need it right now, stop the accutane until you get it and it starts working. make sure its oral
