It really depends, each person is different! Most see improvement in month 2-3, and anything after that. Some don't clear until after they are done! By month 4-5 though you should see a big difference.

∙ 10y agoEven though Accutane is very effective in eliminating acne, it is extremely dangerous. It is like poison to your body. It is liver toxic and has been linked to suicide. I do not recommend using it. I hear it will be illegal soon anyway.
I would suggest trying Acnetame. You can Google it and some stuff comes up. It is a new product but it is highly effective. I use it myself and can't complain. It has cleared up my acne and I have seen no new acne since using it. Using it with a topical such as benzoyl peroxide helps clear up acne even more.
It is available on Amazon.
Microscopic mites are found in the skin and hair follicles of all mammals. Some people never show any signs they exist, Some develop pimples, rashes and sores.
The good news is they cant take the heat. Run the shower as hot as you can stand it on the affected areas. Works very well for scalp pimples and eruptions.
I got a hats off email for recommending this to kill ringworm, one time does it.
Available at home and costs nothing.

Can you stop taking accutane after four months?
Yes. Accutane is a cumulative based drug, so you should be ok as long as your dose was high enough during treatment.
How long has Accutane been used?
Accutane has been on the market, and out of phase 3 trials, for years now.
Can you smoke cigarettes while taking claravis?
You probably shouldn't be smoking, period. Claravis, a variety of the anti-acne drug Accutane, is definitely contraindicated for women who are or who might become pregnant, or anyone who has any of a long list of blood disorders. But smoking is not specifically listed among the contraindications. Do not go to WikiAnswers for medical advice. Discuss this with you physician.
What serious adverse effect has been linked to the drug accutane?
There are many very severe side effects of Accutane. In fact, the original manufacturer stopped making the drug in 2009 due to lawsuits over severe and chronic illnesses associated with its use. Among the worst effects are suicide attempts, severe birth defects, and severe digestive system disorders. It is available under the iPLEDGE system.

Is it safe to take accutane if you have crohns disease?
Accutane does not cause Crohn's disease. There is no known cause or cure for Crohns disease. Isotretinoin (Accutane) is a powerful drug used in the treatment of acne. This drug may exacerbate symptoms of a Crohn's disease patient, but you can be assured that you already had Crohns disease long before you ever started using the drug for your pimples.Accutane, developed in 1996, is used for treatment of severe recalcitrant nodular acne that has not responded to other therapies. Isotretinoin, the active ingredient in Accutane is available in generic formulations by a number of other manufacturers, not just Hoffman-La Roche.In all 5,000 cases so far launched, the empirical proof that Accutane actually caused the bowel disease is still none existent. The suspicion that Isotretinoin may have exacerbated the already present disease is still being investigated.The Florida court of appeals overturned the judgment where an amount slightly over 7 million was awarded. The plaintiff in that case, Adam Mason, was initially awarded 7 million dollars. The three-judge panel overturned the decision because the argument that use of Accutane was temporarily associated with the cause of his diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease wasn't strong enough. The court of appeals also ruled that Mason did not sufficiently prove that Accutane's lack of a warning label contributed to his illness.In the other large award case involving bowel disease in 2008, a jury awarded Kamie Kendall over 10 million dollars in compensatory damages after it was alleged that Accutane was the cause of her inflammatory bowel disease. The plaintiff began taking Accutane when she was 12 years old, and two years later was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. It stands to reason that with 5 million Americans using the drug for what it was intended for, bad acne, some will develop serious diseases unrelated to a specific use of a certain drug.According to the Wall Street Journal, while Kendall was originally awarded damages of over 10 million dollars, appeals courts also ruled that there was never enough evidence to support awarding these damages.One thing is clear, these lawsuits have not held up in appeals and have no proof that this drug causes bowel disease. It does prove, that in a litigious society such as the United States, the mere suggestion that "someone" is responsible for a disease that is suspected to have been around for thousands of years and identified by Dr. Buril Crohn in 1930 is just cause for lawyers to make money and profit from the misery of others.
How long will it take for lamictal caused acne to go away?
The best thing you can do is decide whether the acne is bad enough to warrant you to stop taking it all together. If you decide that the benefits of Lamictal outweigh the disadvantages then you need to treat the acne. Accutane [strongest anti acne med] is derived from vitamin A, it is widely known that vitamin A is responsible for healthy skin. Retinyl Palmitate is a VERY active and READILY absorbed form of Vitamin A, it is also a very potent form of vitamin A. I suggest you take this as it will reduce your acne, it worked for me.

How long does it take for skin ID to show results?
It depends on what you skin is like. You should see results in the first week, but doesn't mean you'll have completely clear skin. Obviously, the more acne you have the longer it'll take. I had moderate acne and after about 2-3 weeks my skin was completely clear. But I started seeing results after about 5 days.
How long for drug testing results?
Depends on what they're testing for. Sometimes, 2 weeks to a month.
