A member asked:
Should i go on a second dose of accutane if my first one didn't work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See dermatologist: Some people need a second treatment with Accutane, usually of shorter duration. Blood work also needs to be done periodically in order to be sure there are no significant side effects. You should consult a dermatologist for more advise.
