A member asked:
Is it supposed to get worst before it gets better while on accutane for acne treatment? if yes why is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne: With most acne meds, you will get a little worse before it gets better. Along with the pimples on the surface of your skin, there are others developing deeper in your pores. The meds may bring those forward, so you will initially see more pimples, then as they resolve, you will see fewer of them.
