A member asked:
Why does diane 35 take roughly 3 months to work for acne? and why does it actually make acne worse before better? thank you for your response.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne: It takes about three months after starting acne medication to see improvement because the medicine opens up pores and all the crud drains out. After that things improve.
