Stick with it: You fail to mention the dose. Isotretinoin is not easy to take, but is very effective. Sometimes I see improvement in 1 month, but usually it takes 3-4 months to begin an obvious clearing. You are just starting!!!! The usual course is 150 days, sometimes more, typically at 80mg a day. Avoid any Vitamin pills containing Vit A. Take this med with food, preferably a fatty meal. Make absolutely sure
