I think that it's totally normal to constantly clear up and then break-out while on accutane. It has happened to me throughout my whole course. I also noticed my break-outs were the worse in the third month. What I did start to notice is that by month 4, the time my skin was clear was much longer each time between the break-outs, eventually the break-outs became less severe as well.
Other factors that could have influenced the break-out are the increased dose or hormones. I have noticed my skin broke out the worse weeks that i'm on my period throughout the course.
Keep your head up..... it will get better!
Omg! That really makes me angry. Let me guess, she has beautiful skin?! Is she kinda chuncky? If so, one day be like, "oh, what happened? Did you gain some weight? Oh wait I shouldn't't have said that, why?-BECAUSE IT'S RUDE!-DUH!" Err! She makes me mad! I should fly down there and kick her butt for you! Hehe I'm here for you babe.

Thank you for that. Def gives me hope. There is just nothing as scary to me atm then going back to where I've been.

No, she's not fat, but in her 50's and totally tries to act like she is some cute little thing. Completely shallow.
I don't want her ass kicked, I just want people like that to know just how hard it can be dealing with this. They just don't get it.
She is just one of those brain dead people that are lost in the herd, u know?
Btw this is the same woman that told me to try proactiv, lol
Ok, so stilllllll breaking out from my dose increase.... sigh
This can stop at any point, really, lol
I honestly don't think I'm going to go to 80mg. My derm wants me to, but god, this breakout has traumatized me. After getting better and then this.... blah
So it goes. There's nothing I can do but hope it ends soon.
Sorry, you are having to go through such a rollercoaster ride with this Crystal. You are a strong and beautiful woman. I know it's hard going through this stuff. Every spot you've gotten is a badge of courage. I wish I could hug you. I hope very soon all this acne will be a distant memory for you.

Thank you Melissa.
U r a doll!
I reckon if you've had what you consider to be the worst breakouts you've ever had but you're still prepared to fight, and you've even managed to laugh about it here, then you can beat whatever else it throws at you. That's awesome. Be proud of yourself Crystal.
Here's hoping that after what sounds like a pretty bad run, it calms down and cuts you some slack. Sometimes, that's all we really ask for isn't it - just a break from all the active acne and a period where we can relax and let go of that stress and emotion. You deserve it.

I'd like to think so too Paul!
Thank you for you're support!!

Good luck! We can do this!!
Ok, so still clear...........
Short lived, I am sure. This Tuesday I will be bumping to 80mg. I just hope I don't break out like I did when I bumped to 60mg.....
I honestly have less than a dozen clogged pores on my whole face, so I'm thinking if those are irritated by the bump in dosage, I can handle it.
Only side effects I have to report are joint soreness, especially in the mornings. Some days I feel 80 yrs old. And I developed dry skin inside my ears. I know, strange. I had little scabs, but with moisturizing they've cleared up.
Not much else to report. Hopefully the bump isn't as bad as the last

yes!!! 
I am anxious to hear about your bump to 80 mg! what made you decide to go for it after saying you were hesitant due to the breakout from bumping up to 60? My derm wants me to bump up to 60 in about ten days. I am very nervous! I am hoping your breakout won't happen or will be much less severe since you have a good amount of the medication already in your system...let us know and keep it up!!
I actually won't bump til tomorrow.
I know I need to post new pics too, but my droid is so glitched out right now.
I was going to get an iphone 4, but I think I'm going to hold out for the iphone 5...
I still have alooottttt of redmarks, especially on my cheekbones, where my last big breakout was.
Some pretty substantial scarring on my cheeks too. My hope is after tane they'll fill in some. Maybe recell?? Idk, too far ahead of myself there. What I find is when I don't have any actives, I focus on the red marks and indents.... Blah, lol
I guess I decided to bump bc it'll cut a month off of my course. Maybe I'll breakout bad again, but honestly if it's from the dosage increase, this would be my last. A month is a long time, and I'd like to save one 
I intend to ask my derm about the massive breakout when I bumped from 40mg to 60mg and see what he says...
I hope you all are doing well
Lots of Love,
Crystal
Ok, so 80mg it is! 
I took 70mg yesterday, and today will be my first official 80mg day.
Super nervous, but I'm def ready to be clear. I've had two actives, and of course popped them. So a cpl new red marks.... blah. One on my forehead and one on my cheek. Besides those still battling with fading my marks from my massive breakout when I bumped to 60mg. Good lord, I hope that doesn't happen with this bump..... 
Also just started using invicble scar treatment. I'm hoping that'll help speed up the fading of my marks. All of the 6 ingredients are safe, so I'm just putting a little bit on under my make up.
I've been using Dr. Dan's Cortibalm, and my derm actually told me not to bc the steroid in it will thin alrdy too thin skin .... 
Seriously tho, I am going to continue with it. 
It's the only thing that keeps my lips from peeling.
Side effects... Nothing new. Dry lips. Dry skin is fine w/ moisturizer. Tired. All the time.
