So I have around 165 days with Sotret / accutane and I haven't had any new breakouts lately. I had my latest 2 pimples 2 weeks ago and now my face is clean (except the scars).
I even went to the beach, I got a little sunburnt, but nothing serious. However, I don't recommend it while on treatment, as you may experience side effects.
I went to the dermatologist last week and since August 1st I lowered the dose to Accutane 15 mg per day.
Keep following this thread to find out how is it going for me!

Starting my 6th month with Accutane (Sotret)
Haven't posted anything lately because the situation is the same as the one in my last post. Finally, I can see some improvements! My 6th month will start in 2-3 days.
Since the 1st of July I have been taking 20mg Accutane per day (I switched to roaccutane from sotret, as the last one is not being produced anymore). I haven't experienced any new side effects because of the switching, but I do have a cyst on my left cheek and a pimple on the right one. However, I can say that they started to cure. So I am very happy at the moment.
Since I switched to 20mg from 30mg per day, my fingers stopped peeling and my lips feel better.
In the end of the post, I just want to repeat: don't panic if you can't notice improvements in the first treatment months. As you could see in my case, the treatment took 5 months to notice improvements. Moreover, I heard that there are people who notice them even later. So keep your faith!
