Accutane (claravis) Blog

Soooo I started breaking out last week on my left cheek and right now I have about 4 small red spots and one med size spot in the middle of my left cheek. I ended a 6 mon course of accutane in sept 2012, so about 3 months ago, which cleared me except for marks. my oily skin came back in oct so after a month being off of it which i can deal but now more...

Ok so as the title says i started month 5 yesterday and had my derm appointment with some bad news. My cholesterol was high (246) so i has to go down from 60mg to 40mg for this month. I was bummed at first bc i wanted to go up to 80mg for my last month but im justglad i get to stay on it. My derm also said depending on my labs next month we could maybe do...

WOW, that's all I can say right now because I never thought my face would take such a backward step. I put pics in my gallery and obviously you can't see all the marks but you can see that enormous red cystic-modular whatever, I'm never good at classifying spots. And I just got 2 new small but red spots with whiteheads. I really can't...

So I haven't written in forever because things have been going well. I went to the Derm last week and she kept me on 60mg because of my weight of 58kg but she said we coulld go up to 80mg next month if we needed to.

Skin: we'll I'm a little annoyed with my skin over this last week,I have two new spots that are raised and red on my left cheek...

Ok so it's going really good lately so I haven't been on the site much or thinking about my skin as much as I used to which is a relief. I typing from my new iPad!! Whoo I love it.

I was a little more self conscious this weekend bc I had my little cousins stay over and they are 12 and 13 and have very clear skin. It was just weird going out...

Hello hello,

ok so my derm said that the breakout i had last week was from my period, i guess that could be true but it was about 5-6 red/whiteheads that i popped, woops. soooo is that gonna happen every month now though? i'm confused about that because i'm going through accutane to get rid of these spots and my period is gonna keep coming...

Skin:
ok well as the title says i'm still breaking out on my Right cheek. the breakout started a week ago and those 4 spots that started the breakout have turned to red spots and not bumps but now i'm getting new bumps in that same area that are red raised and have a whitehead just like the other ones. these spots make my whole Right cheek...

SOOOO today is day 41, i know i just posted last week but i feel like my skin has been at a standstill for the past few weeks. it's definitely improved for sure but i feel like it's not continuing to improve it's just staying "okay" when it definitely has a lot of room to improve. i mean it's not terrible, a few actives and mostly...

Hello! i put new pics in my gallery if you want to check it out- they are kinda out of order but i put the dates in the caption or comment hope that helps. the lighting is a little yellow/dark is some of the pics so you can't really see everything in real light so it's a little worse in person.

i'm LOVING accutane! BUT still have a...

sorry, just to warn this will probably be a long post..

well to start off, I LOVE my dermatologist <3, she's just so cool. i mean i had to wait over an hour to see her but she's worth it. i had my apt in the afternoon but went for my blood work this morning b/c i had to be fasting. but it worked out because we had the results by the time the...
