A member asked:
Im taking a second course of accutane, im 19 y/o. its been 2 months my skin is currently totally cleared.what are the chances of needing 3rd course?

Low: If skin is totally cleared, that's a good sign. A 3rd course will be less likely if you address the inflammation of your skin in other ways too. Consider omega 3's and zinc supplementation...And consider avoiding dairy.

Varies: Congratulations on clearing up. Only time will tell whether you need another course, but you should enjoy at least several good months, and may never need it again. And simpler, less unpleasant measures may work when you're a bit older.
