I am tired of taking these pills. I forgot my Aquaphor yesterday and my lips almost fell off my face - it was so painful and I am getting really tired of the whole process. I am on 20 weeks of Tane and 20 weeks is a long time for anything. I know I have six more weeks left but it is a really long time. I am thankful that my face is clearing and that the...

Accutane every 7 years
Here is a picture update.
No new breakouts just PIH from past breakouts - which can be covered with concealer. My choice - Cargo all in one concealer.
So my skin and lips are not feeling as dry. I don't know why but they are feeling reasonably comfortable - one reason is when I work out and sweat it hydrates my skin for the day. I am also still using 0.025% Vitamin A cream so it is surprising I woke up with reasonably hydrated skin.I was also Murale this weekend and they had Effaclar H on sale for...
The muscle aches and fatigue has worn off - it comes and goes. I fell asleep last night at 9:30pm and woke up at 7:15am and I really needed the sleep. I also woke up with a cold sore great - I know some people blame Tane on their cold sores but I think it is the change in the weather and stress. I also decided to use my Vitamin A cream every other night...
I am still very sore from Tane, my upper back is sore and I am definitely experiencing fatique. I also realised I bought the wrong moisturizer from La Roche Posay - I bought Hydreane Riche which is for sensitive dry skin. They have a specific moisturizer for people on Accutane - Effaclar H.

Today I am experiencing very sore joints and muscles. No doubt because of the Tane and I have no energy either. I have had a few days like this during my treatment but it usually goes away the next day. I somehow made it to yoga class today and I worked out with weights the day before so perhaps I am pushing myself too hard. I never experienced muscle...

People have been wondering what the cost of taking Accutane is - it varies depending on the country you live in and if have private insurance etc.
I live in Canada and I have private insurance (Drugs are covered up to 80%) and I have broken down the costs of the drug for a five month stint of the drug.

So not much to report except I have very clear skin, no new breakouts just a mini white head on my upper right cheek. I noticed when I use Vitamin A cream for two or three days in a row my skin tends to peel significantly. This is helping with the hyperpigmentation and my overall skin texture.

Week 11 - which means only 9 more weeks to go. Woo hoo! My skin is doing very well, no large breakouts and I have one mini-whitehead (so tiny to even count) on my upper right cheek. I cut my hair from the middle of my back to a bob - it was too unhealthy and dried out from colour but more from the Tane. It will grow back and I am knocking on wood...
I had my Dermatologist appointment this morning and my doctor was very pleased with my progress. He said that I should not worry about any more surprise breakouts since my skin is very dry. He is also dropping me down to 0.025% Vitamin A Cream since it has cooled down significantly in Toronto. My blood tests have been great, my cholesterol has not gone up...
My face is peeling like crazy from the Vitamin A cream 0.05%. I have been on Vitamin A for about 3 weeks now and I can honestly say it is helping with my hyperpigmentation and smoothing of my skin. Since I have hardly any oil production, and I already suffered two initial breakouts on Accutane - the Vitamin A is just smoothing out my skin vs bringing out...
I am officially half way thru my treatment and I am truly pleased with the results so far.
I had my blood test this morning for my doctor's appointment on Friday. My skin is very sensitive and very dry. The La Roche products have been working well but I am still peeling from the Vitamin A cream and Tane. A hanger fell on my face this weekend and...

So not much to report except that I am clear but very, very dry. The tane combined with vitamin A cream is a drying combination. I have been using my La Roche products for sensitive skin so it has been helping but there is still a high level of discomfort.

So I am still as dry as can be I had to buy all new cleansers and creams because my skin is just so sensitive and raw right now. Eczema under my eyes and super dry skin. La Roche Tolerane products were recommended to me by the cosmetician at the drug store and they are not bad - I honestly dont think anything would bring me comfort right now. No new...
So, I am really dry - my face, my body but no active acne. I am a bit red and raw in the face and I have been peeling which might be a good thing for the hyperpigmentation. I tried using Obagi Clear for two days and thought forget it - one thing at a time. Still using Aquaphor on my lips which has been a God send and Vitamin A cream 0.05% at night.
Okay, I am very dry - the 80mg a day has finally caught up with me. My arms and legs and of course my face. I cannot stand it, but it is what it is. I also have achy joints which I didn't have on my last two courses of tane. I am also using Vitamin A cream at night, as if I wasn't dry enough. As for new spots, none so far.
I was able to see my Dermatologist this morning and he re-popped the existing spot and he told me that there was some dried blood in the pimple that need to get out. Sorry but that is really gross!
But on the brighter side of things the other two pimples have gone down considerably and Polysporin does help with healing and hyperpigmentation. I am...

So two of the three spots went down and I need another extraction. The Polysporin did seem to help, all three of the spots scabbed over but one still has oil trapped inside and needs a Kenalog injection. I really feel that after this last breakout my skin is going to improve dramatically - I can't explain it but I do.
I have an appointment first...

So my spots actually went down. I am not going to lie when I say the extractions hurt like crazy and like childbirth I am going to block out the pain. For some crazy reason I think my skin is going to massively improve from this point.

So I went to the Dermatologist today and he went hardcore extracting my deep pimples. It was so painful but for some reason I just breathe thru the process. Despite the pain I feel that I am going to have to go back tomorrow for another session I know my face and I know when a pimple has been properly extracted. But we will see.
