“What is the right dose of acne medicine?”
I’ve had acne for years. I’ve used adapelene for the past year with no success and I want to start accutane. I’m wondering the right dose for me and how long I should stay on it. I’m 19, 61kg.

Hi, and sorry about the delay in responding.
Technically, there is no "right" dose for Accutane. Some dermatologists start with lower doses and increase over time, while others start with a higher dose based on weight. Both techniques are acceptable.
