Okay so I don't want to be one of those people who spends their life on a forum trying to fix something then leaves half way through their own progress never to be seen again. My previous entries talked about how my acne came back after accutane. This was obviously devastating after going through all the acne, then all the treatments, then all the...

Acne is pretty bad again on my face, back on lymecycline for 7 weeks but still to return to the way my skin was post accutane.


Help me please

Just a nightmare, if this was as bad as it was going to get I'm sure I could live with it. I just know its the start of a new ordeal..
However, I found 18 accutane pills.
My friends Dad is a GP and he advised me to take an accutane pill Monday Wednesday and Friday. I could make this last for 6 weeks.
Ugh, what effort.
So annoying watching TV and looking...

To contradict everything in my previous post.
My acne has returned.
Slowly, but surely its crept back however not on my chest or back only on my face..
Dont know what to do now.
Getting quite heavy on my previous problem area that was my shaving area and I result to my old ways of burning my face with benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid which leaves me...

It really is true when people say you only hear about the accutane scare stories because the clear people have no interest in acne forums.
Since I've been clear I completely forgot about this blog.
Bascially a quick update. Skin on face is completely clear, not had a spot in weeks, back is clear and getting with about one spot.
Side effects: None, not...

Ah my worst accutane fear boooo

Skin is shockingly clear
Except the small spots that were the dark red ones that i managed to reduce alot except the one that remained I just popped which was honestly like a cyst.
Oh well, my skin isnt even really that dry anymore.

Loving life

Skin is looking alot better.
Still bad, but better
Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide came together to treat the infected areas.
Those horrible dark dark red spots have lightened enough to be coverable I would say and should be fully gone in a week, thank god for that.
Had a nosebleed when I woke up today.

Fed up with fighting with my skin.
