A member asked:
After completing the course of accutane, after two weeks got one breakout....is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common.: It is not unusual to get new breakouts after treatment with accutane. Statistically, one third of such patients need another course of Accutane later on; another third need additional treatment, but not with accutane; and the rest never need acne therapy again. You could be in any of those three categories; only time will tell.
