So when I went on Accutane the first time I had acne on face but the majority ... of it was on my chest and back. I was on Accutane for 6 months (starting last November), which is one ... month longer than most Accutane users are on the medicine. My dermotoligist told me ... had definitely cleared up. My derm. told me that the Accutane was still in my system and would continue to work ... s not supposed to be there after going through the Accutane treatment. Of course I'm very frustrated with my body ... motologist and she suggested that I go on a second round of Accutane since my body was slow to respond, and most likely ... did suggest that my body is slow to respond to the Accutane is that I might have more hormones than the normal ... in clogged pores and acne.
