What are my options if Accutane does not work?

Doctor's Answer

Sorry to hear that you are suffering from recurrent acne. Accutane is generally extremely effective at treating acne and shrinking the oil producing glands.

Usually when acne flares quickly on stopping, it is because a suboptimal dose has been given, or that it has not been given long enough.

I would suggest you seek help from a dermatologist or doctor who is experienced in acne management. There are also other treatments such as topicals or even lasers that you can add in for the best possible treatment outcome.

Hope this is helpful and you get better soon!

Warmest regards

Dr Stephanie Ho, Dermatologist
