So I took my 24th pill today and my body is extremely dry and itchy, pretty much everywhere you can think of. Everywhere. And just now, I was scratching my back and felt several big pimples that hurt. Before this, with the exception of small sweat pimples, I have never had more than one or two big (poppable) ones on my back. I am wondering if this is some kind of an initial breakout, or just because my skin is really dry which can sometimes break you out just as much as oily skin. I moisturize with Eucerin every morning and night but it really makes no difference. Before this, the skin on my back was extremely clear despite being dry. Whatever had been on my back prior to Accutane was gone in the first 2 weeks. What's going on here?!

Has anyone ever had under the skin pimples/cysts that have been there for years? Like I mean YEARS, where nothing ever brought them to the surface? I am just wondering if Accutane is going to purge those or is that something I am going to need to get a procedure like subcision done for? I was going to have Fraxel done but my dermatologist told me that it's better to get Fraxel when you've got a handle on acne, because of all the care that follows that type of laser. The underneath the skin bumps on the part of my face 3 inches from nose closer to my cheekbone, are really deep. Also, I don't know if they are large pores or icepick holes next to the bumps but that part of my face is what I am the most insecure about. When I catch my reflection in certain mirrors under bright lights, I cringe.

Has anyone dealt with this?

I definitely jinxed myself a few days ago by saying that my face wasn't that dry. Currently it's so tight that it looks like I have wrinkles all over my face including deep lines next to my already prominent smile lines. It doesn't matter how much moisturizer I put on, my face is drinking it. When I smile the lines are really noticeable. Is this just due to the lack of moisture?

So I know that getting your eyebrows or any other part of your body waxed is a definite no no because it can rip your skin off, this is true even for Differin. But I've heard that getting your eyebrows threaded is okay and the worst that can happen is you'll get a little bit more red than usual.

That site there says that it's safe for people on Accutane and Retin A but I want to hear from people here that have either done it.

Thankya!

Just curious. I haven't really read a lot of posts from girls complaining about hair falling out/thinning. Why is that? And if it happens less to girls, why? I have noticed that my hair is REALLY dry which I'm not yet complaining about, because having greasy hair made me feel dirty and I can actually go a day without washing it now which is pretty much a first.

Thoughts?

As for your last threat, I've had the same occuring cyst in between my eyes for about 8 months. Accutane just brought it to surface and it comes back.
