I only went on it once about a year and a half ago is when i stopped and my skin has gotten oily and ive gotten zits again but its still really clear compared to what it was. The trick is to not freak out, DONT PICK, and just realize that youre gonna get a few of them from time to time and thats life. Just because you get a couple, dont despair, just put some BP on them overnight and theyll probably be gone in a day or two, at least thats what i do. Accutane was really good to me.
