1 it gets worse before it gets better . many times over 2 my friend was on accutane for 18 damn months . That was 10 years ago and his skin has been perfect ever since . 3 have you tried coconut oil mixed with three drops of tea tree oil to moisturize your face ? It seems to have been a miracle moisturizer for me . 4 hang there bud , i started accutane at 31 . Can you imagine ? Ive dealt with the psychological torment youve described for 16 years . I have mild acne but i ONLY get it on my nose i swear its a fuckin curse , rest of my skin on my face and entire body is smooth as hell but MY NOSE IS FUCKED . I also have chronic sinus problems and a fairly largebig nose so the psychological aspects of getting super angry boils that take weeks to heal on it weekly have been devastating . Accutane does seem to be working though , havent had a single boil in About 2 months . All this to say , hang in there , it gets better
