I began accutane a month ago and within a week the shiny, oily film on my face was gone. I have experienced some side effects including back muscle and joint pain, slower healing of minimal breakouts, scarring, and at first i was really depressed. I'm anxious to see how the next few months are gonna go, but I already had scarring before and I don't need more. I broke out around the time of my cycle as I always have, so there is nothing different there.
