Hello,

I wasn't planning on starting a log but I enjoy reading everyone elses so much I thought it was only fair if I wrote one too.

I'm 36 and fed up with having bad skin. It's so embarrassing to be a "grown-up" with pimples on your face when every other person has perfectly clear skin. Nothing has worked so I decided to take the Accutane plunge. I've been reading a lot of posts on here and the side effects scare the crap out of me but I have no other options at this point. I just read a post about long term side effects that people are dealing with years later and just hope that doesn't happen to me.

I started 20mg on November 8th so it's been 21 days. I haven't seen much of a difference. If anything, my skin is worse but seems to be clearing up. I'm nervous that when I get bumped up to 40mg my skin will get worse again. I do have chapped lips but nothing major.

I have to run and pick up my daughter from school. Have a great day everyone!
