A Summer of Tane

Pretty late with this, I'm in week 11 or so... Month 2 Summary  Dosage:  40mg, 20mg twice a day.Weight:  77.5kg, up a couple kilos since starting but trying to gain weight.Cumulative dosage:  9600, at least 120mg/kg.Months left:  6Other:  Was on Bactrim during this time Skin Status:  Acne mild, no initial breakout, one or two new pimples a week...

So I skipped week 6 due to slackness and lack of anything to really write about Week 7:   So not much happened during week 6, the most exciting thing was that I accidentally used AHA instead of moisturizer, had to wash if off and was worried that it would make my skin redder which I dont know if it did. This week everything generally stayed...

So I've been slack, havnt done my week 5 update and also wanted to do a 'one month summary' entry aswell, maybe I'll do that another day.

Week 5:
Not much change which I perceive as good. Redness still annoying but I think it may be slightly improving. A couple new small pimples on my cheek. The oiliness of my skin is...

Another week on 40mg and no major changes, the ones that have occurred are slightly my own fault.

So a goal of mine for my skin right now, seeing as I'm not worrying about acne and letting tane do it thing, is to reduce the redness from tane. I'd been putting on emu oil around week when I did my last update and planned on doing that for around a...

Not much change this week, I haven't really been breaking out much anyway, maybe a mixture of mild acne and taking Bactrim. A couple more new pimples this week, small one on my forehead and another on my right cheek which will unfortunately leave a red...

So I'm late again, a couple of days this time, but I have decent excuse as i was away...

Not a huge amount of change this week. Oil is slowly starting to decrease, especially on my forehead (Mostly have an oily t-section) I can moisturize my face in the morning and not feel like I need to blot my face after a couple of hours. My lips are definitely...

Even though I'm actually on day 8 as i type this, this will be my first week update.

So my first week was pretty tame. I haven't experienced any extreme dryness either on my skin or lips but i have been taking preemptive action just in case. The sides of my cheeks and around my chin do get a little tight after a few hours of not moisturizing them...

So today I started accutane. 40mg a day for the first month and likely 60mg after that for the rest of my course. (74kg's)

If we're being technical this is actually sort of day two, as I took one tablet (20mg) yesterday to gauge my body's reaction over 24 hours before starting my prescribed dosage, but I'm going to count today as day...
