I am getting like hard little bumps very small like blackheads but not black when squeezed a hardlike waxy little ball of pimple **** comes out. Anyone deal with this when using accutane and how long til it goes away? I am definately drying out and all other acne went away but these seem to hard and waxlike to go away???

when u first start to use roaccutane, you can get a worse acne for first days/week. it should then go away and the situations will improve.
just be sure u take the right amount of it.

with accutane your acne with continue to get worse for the almost the entirety of being on it. the last couple weeks it will clear up though.

I was on accutane a few years ago..the reason u r getting those zits u describe is due to accutane drying out your sebaceous glands-do u notice that the puss that comes out isnt as oily?

it's not oily at all it's hard but they won't come out or go away unless you squezze them out!

first off, i really hope you are having your accutane treatment monitored by actual doctors (preferably a dermatologist). it is much better and safer that way than doing it yourself, for accutane is extremely potent ****. as far as the weird zits - i'd talk to the dermatologist about them and see what they think. if they can't help you eventually, find a better dermatologist. good luck man, acne is a bitch to deal with and i know how it goes!
