Day 16 month 2: skin is recovering from my latest breakout. You're going to breakout in month 2. Expect it. It might even be a lot. I know mine wasn't that much but it was the first time I've ever had cysts and there were 3 at the same time. Anyways I'm experiencing some symptoms. For god knows what reason my skin was so damn dry this morning. It was so flaky. Also I experienced a major nose bleed this morning

hang in there..everyone reacts differently to this..we both started accutane almost at the same time except that i am on 30mg/day and my initial breakout only lasted for like 15 days..a total of 7-8 pimples and after that nothing!..and now i only get 1-2 pimple occasionally only when i smoke too much

I fucking hate this! I got a big ass one in the same exact spot that I always keep mentioning. Bro like what do I do. I keep getting a big ass pimple in the same fucking spot. I'm so done with this man. My skin teases me so much. It looked like it was clearing up and then bam. I was happy with the way my skin was turning out man it just makes me so angry. Hopefully it will be gone ina few days but with my luck probably a week and then a BIG ass acne mark

Thanks man. It's rough. I feel for people with acne bro because they don't understand the sacrifices we make to be considered normal. I wish you the best bro as we continue this rollercoaster of a ride

Yeah man what can I say, acne sucks no matter what people say. but we still gotta live life you know. Its funny I used to watch videos of people saying stress causes acne. Yet my only stress is acne lmao. On the bright side we are on accutane and its a miracle drug from everyone ive heard! Feels like time is going so slow!

Btw whats your dosage?

Just a quick checkin. so that big pimple that I was complaining about Sunday is still huge but it honestly looks like its shrinking. Nonetheless, im trying so hard not to touch as I dont want any marks or anything. Its also super itchy adn im trying not to touch it. I also have two pimples on my crown area, another one on my eyebrow, and then another one thats on the opposite side of the big one. This looks exactly the same as the formation of the big one and im praying to the lord Jesus Christ that it doesnt turn out to be another one. I really just wanna be free from pimples for once man its so annoying. I cant even do homework because im so worried and bothered about it. Also i mean five pimples is super good for me. I was looking back at some old pics and it speaks to volume of how far ive came. I do have a question though as my acne marks are very apparent in my picture and i dont think i have to too much scarring. anywyas is my skin going to be completely clear after this or will my skin just always look like that. I dont even know how to explain like some peoples skin is super clear and buttery smooth but i guess my pores r big maybe thats what it is. Please let me know what you think and wish me luck throughout the week as I look to have that big pimple gone by Friday morning!

6 months after you finish accutane you can buy your own derma roller and vitamin C serum to safely fade hyperpigmentation and improve texture! Its really affordable. There's also laser like Vbeam and Laser Genesis but that gets pricey. It's a rough ride but lets hope that we'll be pimple free by the end of our courses!

Skin is getting worse. Today was the last day of month 2 and I decided it would be a good idea to drink some beer. Man I really hate myself because everytime j broke out this month was because of beer. The pimples that I get from beer are huge and last a week. Not to mention they leave a fat acne mark that's still there from month the beginning of month 2. I'm so fed up with this. Yes my skin is looking clearer but I always get a lot of acne marks and I'm just so tired of them. I can't even drink a beer without feeling a pimple surfacing. It's the worst feeling in the world. I really hate myself right now this is ridiculous

Jut got a migraine today and idk I feel like accurate took a step back the last week. The marks r crazy bad dude I hate it so much. Other than that I have like one active pimple. Gotta be happy in that department. But I have serious roseaca because my skin is so red except for my eye area. I mean it's always been like that though for as long as I can remember. But my marks are over the top bad I hate them so much. Month 2 was so good until the end. I'm so disappointed. Maybe because I cut my hair super short it looks bad which I know it definitely plays a part. Month 3 is gonna be good I can feel it. I feek it's the turning point. Now that my acne is gone it can start to focus on other shit on my face

By looking at the pics, I have extremely bad roseaca. I never noticed I had it but I guess that's what my acne was to begin with. It said online that rosecea was irritated skin with papules and pustules which is exactly what I had. I don't have any active zits. It's all acne marks and roseaca and I really don't know what to do. I'm starting my third month tomorrow so I'm guessing the answer is to remain patient. The big problem with people with acne and accurate is that once your pimples r gone you're gonna be left with red akin marks and scars. Any tips to help with what I have?

Hi!
Your skin looks like it is making really great progress, Congrats! Just a few questions... Do you have any facial flushing, burning orbroken capillaries on your cheeks? These things go along with Rosacea, but this doesn't really look like Rosacea to me...
