Hi! I get the mean comments too. I tell them, "I'm on accutane." and they either go "oh..." and feel bad, or they go, "What is that?" and then I have to explain it to them and feel even worse about it haha.

 

WHATEVER. It's not like we are the only ones and they are not perfect. Such a bummer.

 

I hope you continue to clear up and do well. We will get through this faster than we know it!!!

Day 37:I made sure today that my skin is paper thin!Yesterday i accidentally hit my hand against a stair railing and my skin tore immediately!I don't think this would happen if i wasn't on Roaccutane.Now i have a red hole at the bottom of my ring finger:/Plus,today my leg itched and i scratched it and guess what?It tore and now it hurts like hell!I didn't even scratch it that hard.Anywaysdry.png ....

I had the same thing happen when I scratched a mosquito bite on my leg! I wasn't scratching hard either and I happened to look down and see skin flaking up! Craziness! And I slipped down the stairs and skinned my wrists. dry.pngFun, isn't it?

 

Anyway. Hope you're doing well otherwise. And hopefully that new breakout clears up soon!

I know!That's crazy!And thanks:)

Day 38:I noticed this morning that the right side of my face(which has always had and still has the most blemishes)is doing better than the left one.It has like 2-3 new pimples and the blemishes have started to fade,while the left side of my face has like 9-10 new pimples.

UPDATE:I just had my first nose bleed!I still have the tissue stuck in my nose,so it can completely stop bleeding.

Day 83:Wow!I can't believe in a week from now I'll have finished month 3 of Roaccutane!Anyways,as I've been saying for the past couple of weeks I'm doing pretty good.I've had only one nosebleed since the start of my ''journey'' and a little(very little)bit of pain on some parts of my body.But that's all.

Day 117:It's the end of month 4 of Roaccutane.I'm still doing good.I had my blood work done 2 weeks ago and because my cholesterol and triglyceride levels were extremely high,my derm lowered my dose so now i'm on 20 mg/per day(i was on 30mg/per day before).Even one of my friends commented on "how my pimples are gone".I still have blemishes though...I reckon my Roaccutane "trip" is gonna last approximately 8 or 9 months,but whatever.As long as I have clear skin,I don't care.

Hey!wavey.gif I haven't updated this log for sooooo long guys so i've lost track of the days i'm on Accutane!Anyways.I'm so happy because i'm on the 7th month of my Accutane journey and hopefully in a month or two i'll be done!I'm doing really good!The last time i got an active pimple was in early October(apart from a tiny,tiny one i have now,it's not even visible to the naked eye but i noticed it when i was scrutinizing my face like i always do in front of the mirror...)!Yay!All i'm left with now is some blemishes and a little bit of scarring.Btw,i'm using so many exclamation marks but whatever...

Here are some pics:
