low dose of accutane for maintenance?
I've taken accutane 3 times in the past, which got rid of my cystic acne for a certain amount of time, but never actually completely cleared my skin. After all of that, overtime my acne began getting worse and for the past couple of months i've been trying Diane-35, which is a birth control pill for acne. That didn't seem to be working so my derm added spironolactone along with Diane-35. Unfortunately, that hasn't been showing any results, and my skin is going from mild acne back to severe, cystic acne. It's extremely frustrating. Today my derm suggested i try to take only a low dose of accutane 10mg /day along with the Diane 35 to see if that would get things under control. Has anyone tried a low dose of accutane instead of going through the whole treatment?
