Hi again,

I am half way through my fifth week and have come out in loads more spots, argh was hoping they’d start to clear up now.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I think alot of people find they are clear weeks 3-4 after the big bad breakout, and then relapse again between weeks five to nine, six to twelve or whatever. it tends to go all pear-shaped in the middle and then sort its self out in the end (such is life!!!)

Hey Kirsty,

This seems normal what you are experiencing. I had a big breakout in week 6, which is now calming down. Like Alison says, this is the storm following your initial calm! :p

At least it shows the Roacc is working :D

I have now just finished week 18 of a 20 week course. I had a dreadful first 7 weeks (worse than before going on the roaccutane and very dry skin on top of that). After that I started to see a big difference fairly quickly. I did have a relapse around week 11/12 but nothing as bad as the initial breakout. Since then I have had one spot which was very small and cleared very quickly. Everyone responds differently but hang in there. I am so glad now that I didn’t give up at the beginning when things seemed pretty dire. I hope it improves for you soon.
