done with tane 6 months ago now...

Hey ,

I fionished accutane 6 months ago although I didnt complete my course becuase I noticed hairloss immediatley after 2 months so I stopped....the drug does the trick for acne for sure but the hairloss thing did me in haha

so with the hairloss my main concern was it being ir-reversable...I did alot of research and now know the science behind it....it can be Telogen efflivium or something else....well it turns out mine was TE becuase the shedding started to stop aftera few months....the hairloss isn;t as noticeable now as it was say 2 months ago...although hair has been lost on my right temple but easilycovered with side of fringe or hair short (which i have anyway)

so it got me thinking....I must of been losing on average 50 hairs every 3 days...more some days for over 3 months...now my hairloss isnt falling much at all..normal and hair is betting healthier...so I can;t have the permanent hairloss...although hair is taking an awful long time to recover..and i must of lost alot of hair so basically all i want is someone who has been through it to tell me how it went.


when did the hair feel full and healthy agen after TE???


d/w im not depressed or anything about it...i was but end of day there'sno baldin on my family line and my lifestyle lately hasnt been up to notch on the food side so all this needs sorting aswell...


so i've been free of any TE hairloss since new years...how long until my right side grows back PROPERLY and not just tiny hairs coming through every other day

sorry for starting nearly every paragraph with "so" lol and my poor spelling abit drunk from the sesh and ano how much u americans hate the bad spelling stuff lol

im 18 years old btw

My story...take a leaf from it

I am 18 years old and I just looked at a picture of me taken on a weekend night out...I hadn;t slept for a full day, I had been drinking for about 8 hours previously during the day and I had been smoking like a chimney and Inoticed in te picture....ZERO acne or blemishes..and i mean NOTHING.

and it got me thinking of myself about 2-4 year before now and how much I've over come "the struggle" mentaly but also physically aswell

I had minor acne when I turned around 15, throw on a pile of family problems and relocation location! a heap of low self esteem and confidence came hand in hand with my new skin...yeh well I took it bad..thinking back I had days when I would wash my face 10 times in a row with soup...walking dow the straight and girls avoiding eye contact with me or even still...me avoiding girls interested becuase of this...you know the deal anyway lol

so by the time I had turned 16 - 17 I had picked the hell out of acne around my chin and was left with a few "after marks" which have only just faded recently...they took there toll on me but life goes on...so I taken accutane for about 2 months then got bad side effects so dropped it...now the side effects are gone and everything normal again

the point of this is to all the younger people here going through this,,,,things get better don;t worry about it...it;s your body growing up and you changing from been a child to an adult...it really is part of life and something you can learn from in being more accepting towards...and DO NOT squeeze...this can lead to having marks for month or even a year on end and it solves NOTHING....you can end up scarred severly and that is even worse than acne itself in cases

now I'm 18, clear skinned, toning up and i've meeta unbelievable girl which thingsare hitting off with...I'mhappy at last...you will be too i promise

I feel my confidence coming back into my soul everday now
