I just started my third month of isotretinoin, and i am still breaking out (not as much); however, most of my tiny pimples are gone. good outlook?

Encouraging: Most people experience improvement by the end of the 2nd or beginning of 3rd month on isotretinoin, but it may take up to 5-6 months to get optimal results. Continue to follow your dermatologist's recommendations, and best wishes.
