Sometimes I do a short cycle of isotretinoin of 20mg/day. Helps to clear steroid acne for a good while.

Good to know.150mg / kg is the top end of the cumulative dosing prescribed by conservative dermatologists in the US, who are only concerned with facial acne (psychological impact on younger people). Provided you take it with food every time for proper absorption, make sure to continue for two months after FULL clearance, 150mg/kg gives you a very high likelihood of a permanent cure, especially since it's moderate.
However, you brought up large pores. Do you have oily skin / hair or just big pores? Large pores usually indicate large sebaceous glands, lots of oil.
How long do you run 20mg for and how long does your skin clear up for? Assume this includes bacne and shoulder acne?Sometimes I do a short cycle of isotretinoin of 20mg/day. Helps to clear steroid acne for a good while.
Same here dude, i had bad acne on the back even natty because i have really oily skin (my head seems like i sweated sometimes). Luckily i get it only on my back (face, chest,all clear) but i got tired of this shit and also gonna try roaccutan.Good to know.
Yes, I have oily skin. No hair since I’m bald and shave it, but my head gets oily and I dislike it. I have been on topical Tretinoin .05% every night before bed for the past year and that seems to have helped shrink pore size somewhat and improved skin quality, but I am still oily and would like them shrunk more. I’ve seen you mention it can permanently shrink the sebaceous glands so wondering what your cumulative dosing suggestion for that is.
Also, say I were to start isotretinoin, do I stop using the topical Tretinoin? Or can I continue to use that for added effect?
