i am new to acne.org so I'm not sure what a PM is or how to do it, so I am trying to reply with a question. I have been on 2 weeks and not getting any severe dryness. Only my lips a little. I was wondering when you started getting dryness and how much do you weigh? Maybe they put me on the wrong dosage. thank you

I would share some of my pics but I didn't take any pics. I was too embarrassed of my pimples. I'm going on 2 months after treatment. Looking very good IMO.

hey all - here's an update - all those with the son of a b*tch condition called acne, hope this gives you hope!
Here is me in July 08': http://jordansg57.googlepages.com/current.JPG http://jordansg57.googlepages.com/Day6.JPG http://jordansg57.googlepages.com/Day7.JPG Took this about a week ago: http://jordansg57.googlepages.com/tiredlong.JPG Took this last night: http://jordansg57.googlepages.com/DSC03944.JPG http://jordansg57.googlepages.com/DSC03949.JPG I get the occasional zit but my god it goes away fast and my god it is so unnoticeable haha But yea, i haven't been washing my face since i got off accutane, only scrubbing it in the shower. I dread getting acne again casue i do get a zit p/ 2 weeks it seems (goes away in few days) and i dunno good hygiene. I'm not quite out of hte woods yet so yea, getting cetaphil tomorrow and just work it into my routine 2x a day should do. Cheers all and yes there is beauty underneathe all that mess... look at the drastic difference in mine.. |

I was wondering when you started getting dryness and how much do you weigh? Maybe they put me on the wrong dosage. thank you I was started on a very low dose of accutane, 1st month 20mg/day. 2nd month 40mg/day. 3rd month 60mg/day. 4th-6th month at 80mg/day. I will end my accutane journey next week. Took vitamin E to help with the dryness and has not been too bad, only a little on the lips. I weigh approx 165 lbs and am 5' 9" in height. Will be posting my week by week accutane photos within next few weeks. Results were dramatic, only thing left is a little scarring, hopefully clear with time. Hope the info helps. |

Today is my fourth day on Accutane (second time taking). I took a full course of it 3 years ago and it worked wonders, but the crap returned after a year I stopped. I am so hoping it'll end this crap once and for all this time round.
Taken a moment ago

hey.
I started on the roaccutane yesterday and i am pretty scared of all the side affects that are comming. how long does it take for it to start working? Also my face is really scarred, if my acne goes away, i will still be really bad looking. does this drug make your scars look any better at all? good luck to everyone |

Your acne looks similar to mine. Similar to it in texture and severity. Even the dryness you experienced reminded me of the effects Im seeing on my current course of tane. Hopefully it clears up soon. |

I remember posting here once in hopes of one day posting my own before and after pictures. Well, the time has come. I have been off accutane for a month now and my face is doing a lot better. I still got a lot of red marks but zero pimples, cyst.
Now that I have short hair I feel that my red marks show more but accutane is the best thing in the world! I am 100% happy and 120% satisfied. Pictures (Ignore my facial expression I try to smile but always fail and I end up looking ridiculous) Day 7 on accutane! http://i41.tinypic.com/2jb75u0.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/xn940o.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2gu0hm0.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/qsvcx0.jpg 1 month after Accutane! http://i33.tinypic.com/2re3wgm.jpg [me 2 days ago] http://i38.tinypic.com/2u434ee.jpg http://i37.tinypic.com/14c6zq9.jpg http://i33.tinypic.com/o8b72f.jpg http://i35.tinypic.com/1j5i0n.jpg Enjoy! If you got any questions please feel free to contact me! I wish everyone on accutane the best of luck and 100% clear skin This post has been edited by P3dr0: Oct 4 2009, 11:44 AM
