HOW TO GO ABOUTS GETTING ACCUTANE(plz help)

[00zozo00]

Hi,
I finished my first ever course of accutane about 3 months ago, after many years of suffering first with mild then gradualy modratly sever. from around 14-19 my acne continued to get worse even tho i was taking antibiotics...the pill....numerous topical drugs as well as the regular skincare routines clairasil,oxy etc........when i say i tired everthing i mean throughout the years i realy gave everthing a chance and waisted so much money.SO about 8 months ago i found about the mirical drug accutane and after pushing my dr (who has been very un helpful over the years,and did not ever even mention that there is a option called accutane )to send me to the derm  she did luckly i had kept a picture record ,So finaly when i got to the derm i started showing her all the pics as well as my skin at the time and she put me on 30mg i am 58kg for only 19 weeks and althoughi i have had fantastic results whilst i was on accutane now im 20 and ive only been off accutane for about 3 months and first it was just few random breakouts ..........and now im getting oiler as well as 7 spots at a time that are painful and evne tho im treatign them topicaly with differn  gel to reduce the size i even have 2 big lumpy type ones on my bk ....I feel teribly dishartend i keept telling my derm i feel my dosage was to low to effectivly give me a long term remisson ....she told me my skin would get better and told me 19 weeks was a long time ........i have had no bad side effect from accutane and the drug ddint even give me dry lips when i was on it ,anyway now i feel like im back to square one and feel that the derm speeded up the process without treating me fully to get the best results.
Now i would like help and information on how i can get on accutane (is there a rountine,do i have to go bk to yrs of other drugs before i can get it again)again at my last hospital appointment the derm said ive been discharged bk to the care of my gp (this was all doen via NHS in uk)........how can i get on to anouther course etc........when my gp wasnt even helpful the first time round (i dont want to be sent away with more creams  etc,when this is the only drug that has given me clearance up to now)  im feeling very low and would like information and info on other options in the uk....thankyou

You can get a second course of Roaccutane on the NHS if you warrant it. Phone the dermatology department and see if they can offer you an appointment without going back through the GP. If they can't, you will have to ask your GP to refer you again. In the meantime continue with the Differin and ask your GP for Dianette and/or antibiotics. Standard treatments often work better after Roaccutane than they did before.
I take photos of my skin on particularly bad days to show the Dermatologist. Its typical that by the time my appointment comes around my skin is not too bad!

I just want to let you know that even if a Dr.--any Dr. that you see, you do have the right to ask for what you think that you need, you have the right to learn and educate yourself on your own and then take that info. to your doc and ask questions.  You also have the right to change Dr. if you are not happy with the care that you are getting. Don't wait 5 or 6 years and then decide you are tired of it.  

I hope that this was no offense to anyone- I learned these things the hard way, if there is a serious problem then any time is a waste of time.
