Roaccutane Dosage Increased to Twice Daily

Had a follow-up visit to my skin specialist last Wednesday and he was pleased with the current state of my facial and scalp skin. He had noted that there is still traces of acne activity on my scalp, but it should be fine to increase my daily of Roaccutane to twice daily.

I had informed him that currently, my scalp has areas that feels a little itchy as though new spots of acne or folliculitis are about to pop-up but don't eventuate. I expressed concern that by increasing the dosage, the folliculitis may re-appear. He reassured that it will be normal within the first couple of weeks of increasing the Roaccutane dosage to see some acne and folliculitis appearing here and there. He also mentioned Roaccutane is most effective in reducing the recurrence of acne and folliculitis after the 8-month course is completed when taken twice daily.

So that Wednesday night I begun the twice daily dosage and it's been a few days since with no signs of new acne or folliculitis appearing so far. Here's hoping none will appear ever!
