[ItalianBoy]

Day 19

1 pill left before I finish the 2nd blister

My face today feels drier and well I woke up with my body very painish but it went away after I stood up from my bed ...I guess it's because I slept too much Dry lips as usual but I don't feel the need to apply lip balm when I drink water, slightly dry eyes

Nothing else I guess...

Acne-wise, I've had 2 activities which are mostly gone, I think it's due to the fact that I ate a few snacks because I was very hungry and had nothing else to eat lol...miserable, I know.

Cya

Wow things have moved really quickly for you! Accutane usually takes months to have those kinds of effects.

Day 21

I just had my blood work done cuz next tuesday I have an appointment with the derm. Hope everything is fine. My skin is half good half bad today. I've got 2 pustules and 1 papule I suppose it's because of the snacks I ate last day =(

Side-effects: dry lips - face - eyes

Bye

Hiya ItalianBoy, Im on day 7 of my Roaccutane course (English equivalent to Accutane) and so far the most annoying thing is flaking skin, my moisturiser seemingly dosn't work very well, so i'm going shopping today to buy something different for sensitive skin, my spots are getting smaller, and no new spots have appeared however my forehead is pretty bad..Hopefully its all uphill from here.

Day 23

I feel very tired because of school. I've got a group date on sunday and I've got 2 active little pimples and many red marks. Ill see my childhood friends...gh. Just the idea of it makes me sick.

I went to get my blood tests results and...everything was fine except tryglicerides. They're supposed to go up during Accutane but guess what they went DOWN lol! We'll see what the derm says.
My face is becoming way too dry. I'm gonna use something strong

Bye

Day 25

So disappointed. Fuck me. Break-out again. Before my group date. Shit. This dose doesn't seem to be working anymore because my lips and face don't feel dry anymore...I'm towards the end of the first month, I've got my check-up on tuesday, the fucker'd better up the dosage.

[ItalianBoy]

Day 26

Face looks a lil better than yesterday. The fuckers popped by themselves (I didn't touch them..) so right now I've got left LOADS of red marks.

You needa up your dosage.

[ItalianBoy]

Day 30

I'm gonna see my derm next tuesday, I couldn't go yesterday, so I'll be 4 days without Accutane. I decided I'll spare the 2 capsules left on friday and sunday so I won't make a big gap before the new dosage. Face looks better. Not anymore oily (that scared me out) and I've got about 3 lil spots left. I'll update next tuesday.

[jimmyeE]

hiya good to hear that your face is clearing

ohh ya i'm on day hmm 13th already ahaha I know time pass by so fast

keep us updated

[ItalianBoy]

Day 31

Guess I'll just restart month 2 since I just took my first pill of the 2nd month.

So I went to the derm, he was happier than usual btw he did not up my dose and told me to take 20MG for 6 weeks, he said it's 0.5mg / kg ... sigh. I just hope that it won't be for nothing otherwise I'm gonna be pissed off.

My acne hasn't been as good as before mainly because I'm stressed thanks to the tests and oral tests (fuck school) but my skin isn't as dry as before. I swear I haven't used moisturizer even once.

He said that to figure if the drug is working you must check the nostrils and lips, and yes, they are actually dry even though my skin isn't so good. I just hope that with time I'll be able to improve even more.

Bye!

[vanillatwilight]

HEY! Hang in there, don't worry I'm sure your derm knows what he's doing and he's doing it for the best! Good luck and don't stress!

[iWantBeHappy]

Keep doing it dude.

I know how you feel, because i am on month 2 with 35~ mg and also 16 years old, when i look to mirror i see shit, and i think accutane is not working.

So dont stress if 1 day your skin looks almost clear and other day, like worst ever.

[ItalianBoy]

Day 34

So everything is pretty much the same, maybe a lil better. 4 active spots and red marks. Red marks. God I've had them FOREVER. They NEVER go!!! I've got 4 days off school because of an Italian festivity and I plan on going out only on Sunday so I'll be able to chill since I'm so tired cuz of school.

@IWantBeHappy - Thank you
@vanillatwilight - Thank you

Day 36

My skin looks so much better today wonder why. I have 3 active spots, 2 unnoticeable and the other one is a little papule which doesnt wanna grow...

I've been eating so much because I want to gain some weight

[Tommyg67]

Haha good stuff man.

Keep it up.

Make sure you use a good moisturiser.

Im 16 and on Day 11 taking 20mg a day also.

Ill be watching your progress:)

[ItalianBoy]

Day 38

I've never had my skin so clear of spots in my life! Only 1 pustule and 1 little comedone!! I think the stuff is finally kicking in. Now that I think about it, 4 months isn't a bad deal if you think that all the other topicals take much more.
