A member asked:
Is getting oily after completing 6 months on accutane normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: One of the normal effects of using Accutane is dry skin. It would be a little unusal to still have oily skin 6 months into a course of treatment. You might want to discuss this woth your dermatologist. Best wishes.
