Amazing! Looks like you're out of the woods~ And those red spots don't even look bad.. Another couple months you won't even be able to notice you had acne in the first place (:
Hopefully so! Thanks Garrettryan, really means a lot!
Looking good! Congrats!
Thank you eliselouise!
I can tell such a huge improvement with the pics you posted! I'm so happy for you. I know you said you read your posts and feel like you were just complaining but hello acne freaking sucks dude. I'm on day 5 and I'm chomping at the bit to see results lol. As if that's actually going to happen this soon. I know I wont see any improvement for a couple months at least. I just want to feel some effects so I can know it's working. I'm on 40mg and on March 4th I go up to 40 mg x 2 a day. I can tell my lips are a little dry but nothing crazy. My goal is to not have to wear make up this time next year. Or to be able to wear make up at my convienence and not because I'm covering up redness and acne. I hate going in the sun becasue it makes me look like I have caked on make up and I hate having to spend 10 minutes every morning putting on liquid foundation. Ughhh I just want to be one of those people who can wake up on a summer day and be able to wear a tank top or bikini without having to wear my hair down to cover my BACKNE! or having to wear make up to the lake. Okay I'm bitching. This is my first post ever on this website but I can already see a huge change in your skin for the better so congrats and I look forward to future updates!
Hello JessicaHope. Thanks !! Yes, it can be VERY frustrating to be patient, but you must be, it will be worth it! Good Luck
Man, You're my inspiration. I'm on my 4th day of accutane (only 10mg per day), I am breaking out so much. And I am staying positive!!! Thanks man!!!
That is awesome to hear, KWRHL! It will take some time to improve, especially on 10mg per day, but hang in there no matter what, it does get better!
DAY 104
Sorry for a lack of updates, I have been REALLY busy the last few weeks. Anyways, let's get into it. I am finally over the 100 day milestone, so that's awesome! Like I posted earlier, I am now taking 80mg per day (40 in the AM, and 40 at PM). I have been taking it for 44 days now. Lips are getting progressively, well, I don't want to say more dry, but they dry up a lot faster. I literally have to put on aquaphor like once an hour now, but that's not such a big deal. Face is also really dry, I usually need to put on lotion 3-4 times a day if I don't want to walk around with flakes on my face, Lol. But, again, not really a big deal. A new side effect I have been experiencing is my at random points throughout the day for a certain amount of time, my face just gets REALLY red. This is a little more annoying, but nothing too serious, from what I know this is normal. Lastly, my knees have been experiencing some pain, specifically while walking down stairs, but while walking I usually don't even feel it. So, again, nothing too serious. And that's it. Really happy to not have any serious side effects.
Right now, I'm day 104, and was originally placed on accutane for 5 months, so 150 days. Last trip to dermatologist, he told me he may need to extend me an extra month, but will ultimately determine at the end of my 5 months. Blood test had my cholesterol very very slightly higher than normal, but dermatologist said I'm fine.
Lastly, you may be wondering how my face is doing, Lol. But happy to say, acne-wise I am doing great! I literally only have 3 active, very small, pimples(on face) at the moment! I really don't break out much, if at all really. I still have a lot on blackheads on face, but they are slowly coming to the surface as well. Really, only problem with face is the scarring, which I believe is called hyperpigmentation? I could be wrong, I will ask dermatologist next visit. Still have a few spots on back and chest, but those areas have been improving as well. Overall, still have work to do, but the progress is great! Hope everyone is doing well!!
