A member asked:
Is long-term remission more likely for accutane patients with milder acne? (assuming the same cumulative dose is taken)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: What we have found with meds is your genetic make up affects the way it works. I have had many patients clear permanently after one course. Women tend to have more resistant acne.
