Hello acne fighters, This is my first ever post on here. Hopefully I don't butcher it completely. I am doing this mainly to keep track of my own progress and share it with you guys. My history: I have had acne since I was 13 years old. I am now 19, turning 20 in September. I did not really care about my acne for the first 3 years cause everyone seemed to have had it back then. But, as the years passed, I kept getting worse. So, I took my first doctor's appointment when I was 17. She prescribed a BP cream for spot treatment (Tactuo). It had been helping to maintain the acne and keep it at a mild level but you could still see red scars and cysts on my face. I have been using Tactuo to this day (getting refills) but recently, I broke out terribly and had to book a dermatologist appointment ASAP. I got one 4 days after I placed my call and as soon as I walked in, and explained my whole story to the doctor, he prescribed me Accutane. I asked him if Accutane would affect my weight lifting and basketball hobbies but he said only a few people experience joint pains so I should be good as long as I keep on my routine. I read up about Accutane afterwards and was excited at the thought of getting rid of my acne once in for all. I am going to pick up my Accutane on Monday May 30th 2016. That will be my first day. I will try to post weekly updates on here describing the effects it has on me. For any major breakout I experience, I will post it on here as soon as it happens so I can keep track of it as well as you guys. I hope this thread helps a couple of you as well. I will post my day 1 pictures on Monday. See you all soon.
