Description -
Hey everybody! I want to apologize for my delay, I did not forget you guys. I just had too many personal and academic things going on in my life. However, everything has calmed down and I want to tell you guys that I finished my five month on 15th May 2012. My skin is great but there are also some negative effects I will talk about later. I apologize again and happy Olympics!
Side Effects -
So my dry lips and everything went away pretty quickly and I am now swimming again! HOWEVER, the small pains in my lower back is occasionally still there when I lay down.
Advice -
So I have started reusing many products to take care of my face. I found these two videos on Youtube that may help you guys. I have only tried the honey one but it helped me so much in my black heads and redness.

Skin Post Accutane -
My skins is amazing! I have been able to eat and drinks some drinks that are not so good for me. However, I do not really regret it since I need to enjoy my life and my cystic acne is not preventing me anymore. After my course, my oil came back pretty quickly, now that it is summer, oil blotting sheets are my life savior. I do have the occasional teenage pimple, but they go away the next day with the proper care. I have had probably three to four cysts that returned but I will not worry about them. With the oil came the black heads on my nose, the honey mask really helped this. IMPORTANT: From time to time these pimples filled with puss appear on my cheek. They do not hurt and are small but are itchy as mosquito bites. They only appeared after I finished Accutane, but once I pop them they heal the next day. Before and after picture will be posted, I am sorry I only found one picture of me before I took Accutane (I think you will all understand why).
Conclusion -
I apologize again and I will definitely do another post on my post Accutane journey in a few months. In the end, I am extremely happy with the results and I can now look others in the eyes when I talk. Many people have noticed my dramatic transformation and complimented my skin, a first. For those who are going through this, the journey will go fast than you think so hang in there! For athletes, I will post a special note at the bottom for athletes. I am so happy and remember to stay busy during your journey and warn your friends of the possible side effects. If you guys want I can post my skin care regimen, but only if you guys ask I do not want to waste my time.
Athletes -
My conclusion is that athletes should think VERY carefully before they go for Accutane. Before I say anymore, remember that each person will experience different amounts of side effects. About one month post Accutane, my fragile skin (another side effect) on my pinky was sliced open by the metal bucket as I was playing sponge relay. Now I only grabbed the bucket and I have to get about four stitches. This can be a model for physical contact athletes. Also, maybe it is before I am done with Accutane or because school and track season is over, but I am not as fatigued anymore. Anyways, swimmers should not take this as your skin will bleed from the dryness. All in all, please consider all the possible side effects before you take Accutane!
Picture -
This is the only picture I can find and you can not see all the cysts on my jawline and back. I am sorry for the shirtless picture but I have to quickly snap a picture and you can see that there is not more chest acne!
