Accutane + Blu Light

So I swallowed my last pill about a week ago. My derm saw me a couple weeks ago and told me that I've cleared up enough that I don't need any more accutane! Hooray!

I'm a little concerned, only because I still get the odd pimple (not enough that I would ever complain) and I worry that by stopping the accutane, my skin will go back to...

Got prescribed another two months by my derm, since my body is taking the accutane well and not freaking out or anything. At this stage, I haven't got much more to say... my acne is pretty much gone aside from the occasional whitehead or cyst, and I'm just waiting for my PIH to go away. I get cysts on my back now and again more than I used to, but...

Some quick updates:

- Derm prescribed me another two months of accutane to make sure my acne doesn't return
- Face is doing pretty good. I woke up with a bit of a monster zit this morning, but it's pretty much the only one. I get about 3 new actives per week, but they go away by the next morning. The only problem is that they're usually...

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalleluja!

...my acne is 95% GONE.

Everybody always says that as soon as one flaw disappears, another one takes its place, but I can honestly say that hasn't happened. If anything, I love everything else about my appearance even more now.

Now, don't get me wrong, my face is faaar from perfect. I've got about...

So accutane decided to kick it into high gear in the past week. My lips finally cracked on the side (lovely, I know) and my nose is really dry feeling on the inside, when I breathe.

Luckily, my face is clearing up! Today it looked really good, I only had to put a tiny but of concealer on, which is pretty big for me. Bad news is, as I was washing my...

Very angry, frustrated, and depressed.

I'm breaking out a fair deal, about 4 cysts on my jawline, and 4 or 5 whiteheads elsewhere. Combine that with all my PIH, and its just really discouraging.

I've been finding it hard to control the urge to pick at my skin as well, so that is a major contributor.

I'm just really down that it's been...

More beautiful breakouts, around the dreaded chin area. And I lost my chapstick.

I'm actually getting really scared that accutane won't work for me, because, honestly, where do I go from there?

I'm clearer than I was at the start, for sure, but it comes in waves- as in, my face will be decent, then get bad, and then be a bit better than...

Month 3! I suffered a little breakout in the past few days, since I was very stressed a couple weeks ago with exams, but it's started to recede. Hyperpigmentation is also going away, and my skin is looking better than it has in months.

I've had to moisturise much more often as well, and my lips are getting dryer, particularly on the corners....

Mini-breakout this time, but I've been under a lot of stress, so it's expected. Luckily, my rash is fading rapidly, perhaps since I've stopped showering every night.

So I guess to recap my whole experience:

+ Acne has started to go away (very very sloooowly!)
+ No joint pain
+ I had no initial breakout on 40 mg accutane
+ Skin isn't...

So the past week, I've been eating good, feeling good, and looking good!

My skin has gotten noticeably better in terms of actives, lumps and bumps, etc, but unfortunately the amount of red marks left over makes it seem like my acne hasn't gotten much better :/.
I'm hopeful though, since red marks should fade somewhat soon and I haven't...
