I totally have a pink tint to my face too. Although I am not sure if it is the hyperpigmentation or if it is the tane burn..

9 days without a breakout Taylor! Sweet!

Update:

So this under the skin bump that was pretty much on the bottom of my lower lip is surfacing. Lovely. It needs to come the f out and go away like the other two did. God damn. I'm over this shiznit.


Hey Katie!

Yes, my arms and chest looked a bit more pink recently, but it's only after a few days of sun exposure. It's gone more back to normal today because it's been overcast these past few days. It happens even if I wear sunscreen. I think the medicine just overall makes the skin reactive to sun, even if you're wearing sunscreen.

Sometimes I feel like a pink newborn baby or something else weird that flushes. lol I cant think of anything else that is pink at this moment...maybe...this girl?

Hey Gina!

It's weird. I feel like I have sunburn...but it isn't fading and I haven't been in the sun for two weeks. Maybe it's from driving? My arms are definitely pink. I feel like a glowing newborn pink baby, haha.

Oh boy, that girl's hair! I know someone who used to have that exact hair color.


Hey Kaydon!
Yes I have a pink tint too, my dad always comments thinking I have a slight sunburn, and I'm like dad.. I don't have a sunburn everyday haha. I can't notice it too much in the house, but outside it looks like a pale pink cast, which looks like a sunburn! But I'll take it over acne.

YOU GUYSSS - no breakouts in 9 days. WHAT UP! I still have this one scab that I've had for 8 days now that is slowly healing, anyone know what would make it heal more? Hydrocortisone or Neo? Hmm.

I'm finally going back to work tonight! Woohoo! I've been pretty bored just laying in bed for 3 days, sick..


Hey Taylor!

Okay, so I'm not the only one! It's so weird. My arms are pink but I haven't been in the sun much.

I'd say Neosporin! Neosporin has been my favorite for a while now. Posted Image

Hope work goes okay for you and that you're feeling better!!!

I totally have a pink tint to my face too. Although I am not sure if it is the hyperpigmentation or if it is the tane burn..

9 days without a breakout Taylor! Sweet!


My face has always had a pinkish tint, but I've just recently noticed it on my arms, especially after a friend asked me if I was tanning. Then the other one told me that I look pink. I don't mind it at all though. I think it's just tane burn.

Day 127

This pimple on the bottom of the left side of my lip is annoying. It has surfaced. :( It’s not big, but it’s sore because it’s pretty much on my lip. The zit on the right side underneath my lip is healing, slowly.

15 days until I go see my derm again to discuss what’s up for the remainder of my course!

Lip zit?? Me too! Or it is a cold sore I cant tell yet. I have had 3 cold sores since starting this medication, dr says it is because of how dry my lips are. Who knows...
Either way it hurts!

Yep. :( It's the under the skin bump that I noticed two weeks ago. Of course it was a lingering zit waiting to sprout into a glorious lovely zit. It looks like a little whitehead.

Thank you! I am finally noticing my features and not my skin. I've had cysts from 8-14, and the whiteheads, blackheads, bumps, and milia, and now NADA! I never knew how my features looked cause all I noticed was my skin. You are looking bootiful as well :)!!!!!!

Day 128

What. The. Hell. :(

This lip zit on the left side has grown overnight. I officially look like I have a herpe. It’s pretty much impossible to cover, and either way it looks disgusting. I really, really hope this is the last one of these kinds of zits. It looks like a whitehead, however, I don’t think it’s poppable.

I’m not a happy camper today.

I know how awesome that feels to finally see yourself & not the acne. It’s an amazing feeling. :D

Thank you! If only these few remaining buggers would disappear, I’d be so happy!

Okay, so I have a really bad headache going on right now. Might even be a migraine. I don’t know what’s causing it. I’m also absolutely exhausted and can’t think of anything else but going home and sleeping.

Kaydon, BOOO for lip zits! I'm so sorry! So painful. I hope it is as bad as it's going to get and that now it will start healing! I hear you on the fatigue too...I slept for 2 hrs in the middle of the day yesterday and 10 hours last night... And I've got the bad headaches too :( I hope you feel better soon!

Taylor, you are such a cutie and a beauty! I'm so happy for your clear skin!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously so happy for you! And i'm doubly surprised that your face isn't all red after the shower. I hope you stay clear forever!!!

Katie, I totally had a nasty headache last night, but I also had a glass of white wine with dinner and my pills, which I know is a big no-no. Haven't you drank a bit of alcohol during your course? What happened to you? I felt like POOP last night. I need to not drink, but it's hard when there are like 6 open bottles of wine in your fridge! haha You guys/somebody need to come over and drink all this wine for us!

I've drank on and off my entire course. When I drink I am a total binge drinker lol. I don't drink all that often though, being a mom and all I can't exactly go out to the bars or parties anymore. I have done Tequila shots and had some margs and I was fine. I have drank like 5 or 6 beers and I was fine. Wine on the other hand I do get headaches from. I wonder why?

Thank you Gina! That's actually one of the things I've been loving, not being red after washing my face, so now I can take showers in the morning! The only reason I'd take them at night is because my acne would look more irritated and red, but now, NADAAAAAAAAAAAA

Thanks, Betsy. Hmmm weird, maybe it is just wine then??? I am similar with the drinking, in that I never drink, but when I do, I want like 1-2 glasses of wine, and then I'm tanked. Haha To me it's "binge drinking" cause I never drink, which doesn't make ANY sense. lol I think I'm just a super light weight. I'm planning on not taking any medicine for 3 days before my wedding, so I can at least have some champagne without wanting to pass out.

I like drinking pop wine hahaha. There is actually a isle at the MGM called Pop Wine. Its like Arbor Mist wine. Yummy stuff I can drink a whole bottle or that and have no problems. Its like a huge wine cooler, but if I have a couple glasses of red wine or white wine I am feeling like crap afterwards. I don't know what it is. For me yes, I have issues with wine and accutane. Now I want a glass of pop wine lol.

I think your plan to stop medication for 3 days is probably smart! For sure you want a couple glasses of champagne at your wedding! It's in a couple of weeks right? That is so exciting!

I am getting SO excited!!!!
