Starting accutane

[MNR MNR]

I went to the dermatologist today and I got an accutane prescription. I still have to get blood test done before I go on it so it’s not 100 percent certain, but it’s looking very good.
They said that I will be starting at a very low dose (10mg 5-7 days a week, once in the morning). anything I should know?

To begin with, you may notice your acne getting worse. This is normal it’s just a purge phase. It’ll settle soon after. Your skin and lips will get quite dry so drink lots of water and moisturise regularly.
