Back to the Derm again this week - I am having Monday appointments now which is good. Tried to get passed off onto a registrar again, but I was adament that I was going to see my proper derm! Waited it out and managed to see her in person.
She compared my first photos and was really pleased with the progress - she thinks that the acne on my cheeks/sides of my face is quite deep and therefore will take longer. As I'm on 40mg she didnt know whether to increase the dose as its supposed to be 1mg per 1kg of body weight and I weigh roughly 54kg. However, she decided to alternate doses on different days so I've been intructed to take 40mg one day and 60mg the next. Hopefully I wont break out into a mass of spots because of the higher dose! She has instructed me to drop back down to 40mg if I get any unwanted side effects - this wont affect the course of treatment but it might mean I'll be on it a bit longer.
