*****10 Days Post-Tane*****

I am still doing great. My skin has gotten a little bit more oily, but not a lot. I'm still clear as crystal. Haven't had a zit in over 2 months. So far, I am liking the Spiro. I think it is helping control the oil. I still do not have to wash my hair every day. I think I will be able to do every-other day from here on out. We'll see how things are in another week or so.

Today is husband's Day 16. His skin has actually gotten better. His face is almost entirely cleared up, and he has a few zits left on his neck and under his jaw line. I'm actually quite impressed.

Things are going well on the Spiro. I still have no need to wash my hair. My face, like I mentioned before, is more oily, but is still quite good. Still no zits. My lips are better, but the inside of my nose is not. It still hasn't healed up. I really can't tell what the problem is. Hopefully it will get better.

Today is my husband's Day 19. His skin is even better than before. Literally, he stopped getting zits the day after he took his first pill. I guess some people just REALLY get lucky. He still has a whole bunch of red spots under his jaw line, but I don't think he has a single active zit on his face. He has a bunch of old ones that are still hanging out on the back of his neck. I am curious to see what the doctor will think when he goes back in two weeks. I bet he hasn't seen anything like this before.

I STILL have not gotten much of my oil back. I can still go several days without washing my hair. I am starting to wonder if it is ever going to come back or if this is going to be the new normal. Good news is that I'm still clear. I haven't had a zit since March.

Today is the husband's Day 23. He is still doing great and has minimal side effects. His skin is looking better every day.

Congrats on your completion!!! Exciting! I'm curious about your husbands experience, so I hope you'll keep us upated. What was his skin like prior? Where was his acne located mostly? Still no IB for him? Thanks!

His acne was on his back, neck, chest and face. He had cysts mainly, but maybe a couple regular pimples. His skin is still looking good, and no bad breakouts.

Still no oil. No pimples. I'm REALLY starting to wonder when things are going to go back to normal. I don't really feel like I should still be able to go a week without washing my hair.

The husband is on Day 25 today. His improvement has slowed somewhat, but it is still much better than average. He goes to the doctor in 5 days. We'll see what they have to say.

I'm still clear and I still don't have to wash my hair. I'm quite surprised. I figured the pre-accutane oil would have returned by now, but it hasn't.

Today my husband is on Day 34. His progress has slowed, but he's still breaking out FAR less than normal. The dermatologist gave him another month of 60mg/day.
