A member asked:
After stopping isotretinoin-accutane , how long with it take for the effects go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not long: The dry skin side effects resolve as the skin continues to heal. Use oil free moisturizers. Other disturbances go away once the drug is out of your system. If you are pregnant birth defects will ensue. Wait up to 6 months before having unprotected sex if you are thinking about getting pregnant.
