Do your patients's (on accutane) skin generally look its worst on month 2. because i'm just finishing up month 2 and by skin has been bad this month!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High dose yes: The side effects of Accutane are dose related and the acne often gets worse the first 2 months then improves gradually. You should definitely see improvement by month 3
