Finnaly i had time to take some photos of my skin and to upload them here.
 
To anyone who is starting the accutane journey now, take photos of your face/body at least one time/week. you will be amazed by the changes of your skin.
 
you see your face everyday in the mirror and you don't see the improvement, i know because i don't see it hahaha even if others say it's better and better.
and i was looking at my photos from the first or second month of accutane and i was O M G.( you can see them on the past entries. and you will be OMG too hahaha)
can't believe that my face looked so bad Posted Image i know that at that time it's how it had to look but anyways...
 
my face is not perfect yet but i hope.
 
summer it's almost here and it's soooo so hot outside. i started to use sun protector with 50SPF and to drink a lot of water again. it reminds me of the first days with accutane i don't know why hahaha
 
Have a good day!

this week i'm going to see the derm. again. i'lltell you what he told me.
about my face.... how you can see is soooo dry and i really don't know what to use in the evening hahha
one night i use the moisturizer and the next night again and then something for the redness but then the isotrexin gel. but then i have to use a lot of moisturizer again.
the nodule of my neck is goinggg yuhuuu and the ones of my face cannot be felt like before and i'm so happy because of this 
but the redness makes my life awful hahaha :( :(
i don't know if it is from accutane or not but i forget things :\ and i cannot focus at school and i haven't problems like these before

Hello guys! How are you?
I've been so busy the last weeks and i had no time to write here...but here i am now!! : )
My face i think it's better than 2 weeks ago and i'm so curious what will say my derm the next week when i have an appointment.
i still have the nodules on my left cheek but they are not so big like at the begining
my forehead and my nose are ok ( in my opinion hahah)
i have on my jawline some whiteheads and i don't know what to do with them, what to use on them...
and my cheeks uff lots of scars that i cannot hide. and because of the cold weather they are more red : ( : (
but since i'm using Metrocreme instead of Isotrexin Gel they are not so accentuated

i wish i had clear skin:<

Hey guys!  How are  you?

I'm not so good because   i have pneumonia  and I'm taking injections.
I've stayed home since Thursday and i took antibiotics (augmentin 1000/62.5 mg -- augmentin is amoxiciclin and clavulanate ) but yesterday i went to my gp and he said i have pneumonia and I  need to take 5 days injections (DEXAMED 8mg/2ml (dexamethasone) only once/day and CLINDAMYCIN 2* 300mg/2ml and this one i take twice/day)

and i stay only in bed, I'm writing this from the phone and i haven't  how to upload photos of my face

I don't know if I'm the only who see this but since i don't use ISOTREXIN in the evening and I'm using METROCREME which is for redness and inflammation my face doesn't look so bad and red and the cysts i have aren't so big like before .

Yesterday i started again with SOTRET and maybe the improvement is because of the antibiotics that my derm. gave me too

Aren't you  more sensitive  since are taking ACUTANE? Is it just  me? ':(

maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow i will post new photos

Take care!!]]> Sat, 27 Oct 2012 11:07:41 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/blog/6454/entry-24800-day-87-day-27month-3/ It Should Have Been Day 86(Day 26 Month 3) http://www.acne.org/messageboard/blog/6454/entry-24741-it-should-have-been-day-86day-26-month-3/ It Should Have Been Day 86

Hello guys!
the last weeks i had so but so many things to do at school, lots of homework. to study a lot and i couldn't post here.
but now i'm here and not with good news Posted Image

yesterday i had an appointment with my derm and he said that my face doesn't look good after 3 months of treatment(i was something like /: ) really?! i'm only finishing the third month(/9) with 20mg/day and you say that i should have a beautiful face?! but i didn't say anything haha)

And hee gave me a week of antibiotics (Metronidazole 3*20mg/day) so i have to stop taking Sotret this week.(only)
Furthermore i have to stop using the Isotrexin gel until i finish the new cream he gave me Metrocrème (http://ivatherm.com/...-metrocreme.php)

It's so annoying when everyone tells you how bad your skin looks! god! i have mirror home too!

i asked my derm yesterday if food affects the acne, but he said not really and that i can drink milk(no more than 1l/day) and it's said that dark chocolate is good for people with acne :\ but is not good to eat fast foods and fatty meat(i do not eat this).

i do not drink milk or any dairy product because 1 year ago a dermatologist told me that these may be a cause of my acne, along with chocolate, nuts, peanuts, seeds and chips.( and i haven't been eating these since then)
but this fall i started to eat again Danette not every day and not more than one once but it's with chocolate ( have you heard about it? it's a cream desert this, is my weakness :" >), and chocolate horns sometimes and i drunk hot chocolate when i was cold but
i'm done with these!! maybe these worsened my acne again.

and now about side effects:
  • my lips are very dry but i'm using lip balm all the time
  • i had terrible shoulders pain, i mean it's like my shoulder bones hurt, but i think that my schoolbag is causing it too becauseeeeeeeeeee it is sooo heavy( yesterday it had 6 kg!!!)
  • i'm so tired but again it's because of the school i'm sure.

don't know what to say ...
here these days was soooo cold and i cannot drink so much water :( and i had some headaches and i do not like them.
and because of the cold weather and because i didn't moisturize my hands, appeared on my right hand some red spots, you know that place where the hair grows, that pore, if u know what i mean was so red and visible and my hand stung but i put my aloe lips and i moisturized my hand and now it's ok(fortunately).

This week i started school uuuu. No more sleep until 10 o'clock. I have to wake up at 6.30am, because i have to wash my face, then i'm wainting until it dry, then i'm applying Skinoren, again i'm wainting, then i'm applying the moisturizing cream, theeeen i'm wainting again and finnallyyy i can put the tinted cream on my skin and put mascara on my eyelashes and i'm donee with the face.
Until now i used to make photos of my skin after i waked up and cleaned my face. buut now at that time in the morning is not enough light outside and i don't like using the flash soo i'm making the photos after i come home and remove the makeup.

tomorrow i have the appointment at my derm., i know he will not rise my dose so will be another month with 20mg/day.

my skin is pretty dry sometimes. i mean my tinted cream do not looks natural on my skin at all!! when i'm applying it it's like it came off :/ thanks to god that any of my classmates did not say anything about my face. it would have been so embarrassing :" > :" > but i can see how anothers look at me or maybe it is just in my mind hahahha.

today i had periods when i hadn't been able to understand what it was written on the board. i had like blurred vision and i had to wink a couple of times to dissapear. :/ did maybe my eyes become dry? am i not hydrated enough? it's so annoying, i have "to visit" the bathroom every break hahah i just cannot drink more water!
another side effects i think no :/ only my lips but i'm using all the time my lip balm

and again i'm sorry for my writing mistakes :">

Yesterday i had blood work done and today my GP said that the results are very good, yeeey. In 2 months i'll have to do them again.
and yesterday i finallyyyy had my eyebrows done. usually i have no pain when the beautician is plucking my eyebrows but now i feel something in my ear and it hurts. strange no? i'm pressing my ear with the hand and then it's ok. i think i'm more sensitive now.

this monday i'm starting school and i still can't use makeup. great!!!
i think i had the IB  :/ but slowly!! my face gets better.
at the end of this month i'll upload a comparative picture: beginning, end of month 1 and end of month 2

my hair is not so dry like a few weeks ago, it's ok. and my skin aa sometimes is so dry, sometimes it's ok. i should drink mooore water? hahha i'll force myself to drink more

So today i am at the half of the second month. And i do not start school this Monday yeeeyyy. The last weekend we found out that they give us one more week of holiday.

About my face... IT'S HORRIBLE!! i mean it looks really really bad. especially my left cheek where i have these nodules/cysts near my mouth( see the image), now they aren't so big like a few days ago but are still there. and are so red.
my mom said too that at the beginning my face wasn't so bad.
and my lips :( my dear lips hahaha so dry, they are peeling, they sting auchhh and i'm always using the lip balm. i already finished  one (it has 4.25g/0.15OZ) i'm using the second now and my mom ordered two more hahaha. usually i use one tube of balm (this one it's the best)   in several months.

i keep working out even if after my PowerPilates class all my body hurts hahaha
the last weekend i had an awful shoulder pain but i don't know from what

the next week i'll do some blood tests because my GP said that every two months is enough


*when i go to pilates i cannot wear makeup(in this moment i cannot wear makeup at all anyway) and i have only the moisturizer on my skin and it's so uncomfortable i mean i feel that everyone looks at me and the teenagers, most girls look at me so strange, like they couldn't be in my place 8-|. you cannot know what your future holds*

and i don't know what else to say

11 days left until i start school .
my skin is so dryyy(see the photos) and my lips auchh. 2 days ago i was so lazy to look for my lip balm because i was watching idontknowwhat but then i regretted it. god my lips were burning, that's what i felt. no more laziness from now hahaha. and if i was talking about burning right now i feel that on my face. I want to stick my head in the freezer. that's because i put moisturizer on my skin and i'm so red and my face is shining. what will i do during the school? x_x
a good thing(until now) my hair is drier and rougher. even looks better when i make a ponytail and i have again my lost curls. i hope that when i'll use the curling iron my hair will look good i mean i'll have the curls for more than 20 minutes hahaa.
and a bad thinggg about the hair: i'm losing a lot of hair. more than ever. i do not like it!
and that's all for todayy because i have to goo to my pilates class

Yeah today i had the appointment with my derm and i came home so pissed off!! I ask him if he'll raise my dose and he said no. and he won't do it the entire treatment maybe only decreasing the dose. and i was something really?! whyyyyyyyy?! everyone has bigger dose than mine. 20mg/day.
in this way i'll reach my cumulative dose in 9 months!! 9!! no waaay!

and moreover today went my cousin(boy) and a friend of mine(girl) at this derm too. and they received the same treatment 20mg/day,in the morning Skinoren and in the evening Brevoxyl ( Isotrexin can't be found anymore he said so they will use Brevoxyl. but i will still look after Isotrexin and i don't know what i'll do if i don't find it)

when i arrived home i was so i don't know affected about this, i felt so confused that i started to cry. why i have to stay on the same dose while you, the others are on 40, 60etc mg/day and why everyone receives the same treatment like me, i mean doesn't matter how much you weigh and how severe is your acne and all this things?

my parents said that maybe i'm on a so low dose because i have the creams too and i don't know what else.

anyway today i wasn't me haha i got mad very easily and usually i'm a calm person


and about my skin
-so soo dry lips
-i have blackheads everywhere on my face( you can see them, don't you?)
-in the first picture you can see near my mounth new cysts ( btw the doc. said that the new cysts will not break out so bad now, well i'll see)

and here it's 22:52 and i don't know if i have anything else to say hahaha

that's how i always keep the hair to 'hide' my cheeks




this next tuesday i think i'll go at my derm. and i'm so curious about what he will say. i have to ask him if i've to keep using those creams (skinoren and isotrexin) because my face is so dry and so damaged that every time i put the cream on my face it's like my skin burns !! and dries my face more. that's why two or three times i didn't use them, i used only my moisturizing cream. i really needed it so i'm sorry if i  shouldn't do that

affortunately i had no more chest,knees or back pain, no headache, only my lips are so soo dry.
I have some difficulty in breathing, like the inspired air does not reach the lungs and i need to take a deep breath through my mouth, yeah it's hard to explain
i had some problems in the past but after i started this treatment they come back and i don't like it. maybe it's not the accutane but i don't know what can be.

My skin is sooooo dry and after i wash it i feel it stings(auch)



i have a question: since Accutane makes your skin drier  should i buy a tinted cream ( like BB Cream ) for Dry Skin? the one i used is for oily skin i think because it balances the production of sebum. so i can't use it now and i need something but no foundation. do you use BB Cream? Which is better?]]> Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:45:00 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/blog/6454/entry-24139-day-11/ Back Pain ? http://www.acne.org/messageboard/blog/6454/entry-24120-back-pain/ but..

i'm going to pilates and 2 days ago i was lying on my back doing some exercise and when i tried to get up auuch  it was like i sat there for one year and didn't do any movement.

today i was bent down doing my pedicure ( but only for max. 3 minutes) and i felt the same but this time on my chest
and when i sit on my knees when i get up i have a knee pain for a short time.

it did not happen to me before. may be the drug? i would be more tranquil if this is only a side effect



later edit: yeah i'm pretty sure it's a side effect. happened again today at my pilates class and untill now i had no problems. BUT i'm telling you dear Accutane i will not stop working out!]]> Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:48:00 +0000 http://www.acne.org/messageboard/blog/6454/entry-24120-back-pain/ One Week http://www.acne.org/messageboard/blog/6454/entry-24118-one-week/ Posted Image

I'm a 17 years old female from Romania.

I started the treatment with Sotret on 26 July 2012 (so today is my 7th day) 20mg/day, one pill in the morning and one in the evening. I have also 2 creams Skinoren ( use it in the morning) and Isotrexin (evening). I clean my face with the cleansing milk for sensitive skin Bioderma then with the SebaMed Cleansing Bar. i have as a moisturizer Atoderm Cream Bioderma.



all my problems with the acnee began in 2010 october-november something like this. before that time i only had like the all teenagers one pimple here, one there etc and on the forehead.

( december 2010)

(and if i was sad then how i have to be now hahaha?)




In february or march 2011 i went to a dermatologist ( untill september 2011 i've been at 4 dermatologists, every time they gave me another   creams and drugs, i used one time skinoren, one time brevoxyl , isotrexin, effaclar duo, iwostin purritin and many onthers creams and in august 2011 i took doxycycline but only 15 days [ maybe i should have taken more time i know] and then tetracycline for 3 months (i finished them at the end of december)


one of these dermatologists told me about accutane but we ( my family) was total against then because everyone told us that it can affect the CNS and it makes depressions and there were some people who killed themselves and a lot of scary stories Posted Image )

of course we didn't know anything about this drug and we believed everything Posted Image

(end of may 2012, with my macon skin equilibrium cream tinted version) i stopped using foundation by ~ february 2012 and i'm using this cream since then


and finally in july 2012 in went at another dermatologist and he told me (again) about Sotret. Then i found this site and i read all your stories & i said that is the last opportunity to get rid of the acne. And here i am in my first week of many taking Sotret. I hope that in the end of the treatment my skin will be like the girls' i was ever jealous of .
