Hey all......I am currently undergoing the half-way point in my 3rd month with Accutane (60 mg. dosage)...so I still probably have an additional 2 months left I suppose until my doctor decides further treatment. But my face looks dramatically better then when I had initially started my treatment course.

Mabye it's because I'm insecure, or just have high expectations in achieving SMOOTH skin.......but now that Accutane is really doing it's job, I am starting to see all the darks spots and vast but minor scarring in my skin from my temples down to my cheeks (even down to my atoms apple on my neck). Maybe some of you with knowledge of minor-acne scarring can help me answer a few possible questions I have out of curiousity?

Does sunlight/ultraviolet rays improve acne scarring?
How many times-a-day should I wash my face?
What kind of scar treatments would you recommend?

Thank you guys, I appreciate your insight tremendously!
 
If you have reddish marks from your acne you can try to use Azelex. I used it and it helped a lot. I still have some red marks but it improved a lot. My doctor prescribed it to me and give it a few weeks.
 
Hey thanks for your input! I will definetly do some research on that product and make an attempt to try it!
 
Oh and I had one more question.....just to bust this rumor I've been hearing around the net......is it TRUE that Hydrogen Peroxide improves your acne-scarring?
 
i just finished my last dose of accutane a couple of weeks ago, and my face is suffering from a lot of redness and my doc told me just to wait it out. STAY OUT OF THE SUN as much as possible. i found a mosturizer that has SPF in it which seems to be doing the trick. but no matter what stay out of the sun as much as possible it just inflams the redness that much more.
