Hello,
I’m interested to know if anyone here has experience with microdosing Accutane, specifically 10 mg every other day. I should mention that I’m a man in my mid-30s and have been dealing with acne since my teenage years. Eight years ago, I was on Accutane at 30 mg daily, so I already have experience with the medication.
Due to mild but persistent acne that started appearing again this year, I visited a dermatologist who prescribed me a microdose of Accutane 10 mg every other day. After the first 4 days, I experienced a breakout in certain areas (I got about 3 really large pustules that developed within two days and almost completely disappeared within another two days, as well as quite a few whiteheads, which have also mostly gone away). Now it’s been a day of calm and no new acne is appearing.
I also don’t have dry lips at all (like first time); only during the first two days I felt extremely tired. Is this normal for the kind of microdose I’m taking? It seems strange to me that such a small dose would cause an initial flare-up. What are your experiences with microdosing in terms of results and purging?
