How long did Accutane last for you?
Back in the Fall of 2003, I started to take Accutane. It did wonders at clearing up my acne. I did not have severe acne, by any means, but I had nodular acne. I think that is what it was called. Basically, it was deep under the skin, and it was stubborn to get rid of. Anyhow, after a few months, the Accutane cleared all of that up. That was 4 years ago. This year, and especially recently, I have been seeing my acne come back. Tiny little pimples show up in my scalp. Ick. Thank goodness they are few in number. I am also starting to get some of the nodular acne back. Is this common? I thought Accutane was supposed to have cured me for good. Does its effect only last for a few years?

4 years? your lucky. I have been on 2 courses of accutane and only had my acne clear for a year or less.
Check out http://www.acne.org It’s a great site- maybe you can find more answers from accutane users because they have a accutane forum.
