Im taking 100mg of minocycline for my cystic acne with minimal results. i also have terrible purple scars. will accutane help my cystic acne and scars?

Accutane is a good d: Accutane is a good drug for the treatment of acne and quite effective but you will need to be checked and guided by a skin specialist(dermatologist). It has side effects also, so it has to be carefully supervised by a physician.
