Hi guys,

I thought it would be a good idea to share my story and (hopefully) positive experience with Accutane.

I've suffered from acne for about 9 years - I had good skin until then when others in my high school did not - I did feel somewhat privileged at the time however I didn't know that it would soon affect my life for the next years to come. I first saw a dermatologist in 2009 when I was prescribed Epiduo - looking back I don't know whether it was my attitude at the time however for whatever reason that did not work. I started the Acne.org regime a few years ago however up until now I came to realise this is simply a band aid solution and I did not want to continue to apply products to my skin day in day out. I made an appointment with one of the more expensive dermatologists in my city in late 2015. I shared my past experiences and was soon put onto  Differin along Clindatech for 3 months - this however did not work. I was then put onto Cephalexin along with the Differin for a further 3 months. As I left the office I was given some information on Isotretinoin. As the Differin/Cephalexin wasn't working I thought it would be a real possibility that I would be prescribed Isotretinion at my next appointment - so I started researching and ordering a few products. At first I was scared - however I thought it was worth the plunge to fix this condition.

I started my first 20mg tablet on 25-7-16. I'm taking this every second day for 2 weeks and then once daily after so I'm almost done on every second day. My experiences so far have been very positive - I've had 3 break outs since with one small one developing - I would usually get 3 in a matter of days. My lips are starting to get dry and once I start on every day this is only going to get worse.

So here are my pictures pre accutane.

I'd love to know what you guys think.

Cheers.
