I am on 80mg of accutane a day in my 4th month and i haven't noticed much improvement and my skin isn't even dry. is this normal in the 4th month?

Are you: Are you taking the medication with food? I have had patients that did not clear until they finished the medication. You also may have very resistant acne. You may have to take it a second time also. Do you have hormone imbalance?
