A member asked:
If you start clearing up on your 4th week on accutane, is it possible that there will be no more breakouts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne Therapy: Yes it is possible that after 4 weeks of Accutane you will not have anymore breakouts. However, it is not likely that you will not have more breakouts. Since there is no more brand accutane, the treatment can be 4-8 weeks longer.
