Dipofi - thank you. He took his last 10 mg. Accutance on 1-24, and his skin seems to be settling down now. He's on Cephalexin until the Accutane is out of his system, and then he'll probably go back on Minocycline - which really helped previously. Prednisone may have helped a little with inflammation, but his was soo severe it was hard to tell. He has alot of red marks, and probably some pitting from the huge cystic ones -- it'll be a while before he smooths out. We are waiting for delivery of one blue and red diochomatic bulb for home phototherapy. I think when it is your child, it is worse than having it yourself, because you just want it to go away so they can enjoy their teenage years. Thanks though, I believe he is making progress in the right direction!
