I remember when I first got put on accutane they said it would be for 6 months. Well happy six months, if all went well I would now be done. I had my last appointment about 2 weeks, had another injection into my check, darn thing is persistent. I am back on antibiotics, E-Mycin these ones are called and they are suppose to stop the bacteria that is causin...

OK. Not much has changed. No new dots. Just the same lumps near my nose that will most likely get injected in 3 weeks when i have my next appointment, I have never been so excited to get stabbed in the face!!I am still on 20mg of Accutane a day.. they said I still have another 7 months to go, finishing up in Dec. A whole year! arg. But it has gone quick....

So its about 9 days since I had the injections in my face and wow, the swelling has completely goneand my cheek is flat for the first time since september hooray! now i can cover the red marks easily as theyare not all gross and bumpy. I wish I got one in my chin too cause it is still a big lump, Ill be back in 7 weeksso I might ask then if it is not gone...

Hello,I had my first cortisone injections yesterday, as well as a shit load of squeezing or pressure or just ouch that made me sooo dizzy. I looked in the mirrow afterwards and my face was white and bloody. Today the swelling has gone in half I suppose, which is really good as this thing on my cheek was massive and hurt so much. I think it might keep...

hello,So I am still on the cortisone and it has helped alot, might not need those face injections next week! that would make me happy. I have stopped using Epiduo (it was amazing) just don't need it any more. annddd apart from those deep bumps the rest of my face is completely free of any dots. It still looks like hell from all the pigmentation but i...

Okie DokieI kind of forgot last week, but no real changes to report any how!I went and saw the dermo yesterday for the first time since starting (accutane) and they actually apologised for not putting me on prednisolone at the start- said no way it would of gotten this bad and swollen! (thanks guys).  So I left with a script for that and the sad...

so ill call this week- all my hair is falling out week. fine up till now then BAM!! hair every where, clogging the sink,car seat head rest is hairy, brush full.. i dont want to be a bald person haha. im hoping it doesnt get much worsebecause i think i would rather a few dots then no hair..any way. face is pretty much the same, massive thing on my chi...

No news reallllllly. I think my eyes are getting a bit dry but eyedrops fix that right up, also alot of dryness around my eyes
and nose. But all good with moisturiser. I got  a new night time moisturiser for the parts of my face that are clearer, still sticking with the cetaphil for the red parts, not really sure I trust the new one yet! I have totally...

So the last week has been pretty super, I can actually almost make this shit vanish with makeup, apart from my chin, its all pretty flat- i think the epiduo has just made it reallllly red, I know this will take ages to go, but Im happy the drugs are starting to kick in and hopefully I dont get any new dots (so far so good). If I can cover it, all is good....

So I don't know what is working right now, but something is surely doing its job..
In the past week my face has cleared up sooo much, yes it's still hell red and has
bumps, but like half! and for the first time in maybe 4 months I wake up and it doesn't
hurt! no more feeling like my skin is too small for my face- it is amazing! and...
