tech99's accutane log

went to the derm today and im ready to go on my 3rd course of accutane. he prescribed me 60 mg for the first month to start it off. i have to get my bloodwork done first before i can start. im very excited, im confident this will clear me for good. me and my derm agreed i should do a longer course on a higher dosage this time. i will probably update this once a week, i dont want to type out long entries for this log but i will take lots of pictures of my progress. ill take my first pictures on the day i start my course. wish me luck

help

hey im wonderin if i could get some suggestions. ill tell my experience with acne just so you know. i started getting acne when i was 12 it was very mild. it soon got out of control and like most people at first i was ignorant and used all the harsh products. ofcourse my acne got worse until i was 14 my mom took me to the dermatologist and he put me on accutane. it worked like magic and i was perfectly clear. but my acne eventually came back and i went on accutane a second time. it ofcourse came back again and now i struggle with mild acne. i visited him again and he put me on minocycline which also cleared me up nicely but it came right back again. after that i found acne.org and learned of things that helped me tremendously like how important it is to be gentle. ive tried benzoyl peroxide, saclyclic acid, lots of AHA stuff, glycolic acid peels etc. i seem to go through periods of near perfect skin to pretty bad breakouts randomly. diet seems to have no effect, it seems the more i stress out about it the worse it gets and when im eating ice cream and soda all day i am clear. i even elimated dairy for a month and saw absolutely no difference which made me want to kill myself. recently my problem area is a bit below the corners of my mouth. i have pimples that are reocurring here nonstop. the rest of my face is fairly good. currently i am washing my face with water and thats it because i simply give up. i have an appointment with my derm soon and im going to ask him for a third course of accutane which i believe will keep me clear until im grown out of acne. accutane is really the only thing that has worked for me for some reason. im confident he will put me on it even though my acne is mild, he is very understanding and i never experienced bad side effects on accutane only dry lips and eyes. i know my acne isnt terrible but my whole teenage life ive had to deal with it and im sure anyone with acne can relate to how i feel. i dont even feel comfortable around my own girlfriend. any imput ??

glycolid acid peel on minocycline

im wondering if i could do a 30% glycolic acid peel while im on minocycline or does it make your skin too sensitive ??

glycolic acid peel

i ordered from loganwood a kit of glycolic acid peels which comes with 35, 50 and 70 percent and i plan to work my way up in strength. im wondering should i do this peel all over my face or just the places where i have acne ?? and would it be safe to do the peel on my neck area where i have acne or is the neck too sensitive ?
