Day 27: Visited my skin specialist today for a check-up, 2 weeks after reducing the Roaccutane to once daily, and starting the Erythromycin. I informed him of exactly what has happened to date whilst he was on leave and concurred with the other skin specialist at the clinic that the dosage and use of Erythromycin is correct.
He performed a visual examination of my scalp under a bright lamp and noted there is still quite a bit of acne on the scalp, though he clarified with me whether the current state of my scalp was indeed better than 2 weeks ago, to which I replied it is immensely better.
He suggested that I continue the treatment as per current, and see him again for a check-up in 6 weeks time when another fasting blood test will be performed. Should the scalp acne flare-up subside well by then, he suggested the Roaccutane dosage could be increased to twice daily, and the dosage of Erythromycin could be reduced.
Here's hoping things go as planned!
