Alrighty guys I just signed up for this website after browsing the forums for pretty much the whole time I've been on Accutane. Here's a little info on the situation we got. I had some severe acne on my cheeks that just came outta nowhere around February. Went to the derm and she basically destroyed my face with BP. Although it helped some it was way to strong so I ditched the crap and just started to use Dan's Regime that helped some but the acne just kept coming back. Went on accutane right around the beginning on June. So I took 80mg/day for 3 months. Got fed up with the crap to be honest but said I'll do it for 1 more month so I did my 4th month with 30 mg/day. Tomorrow will be the 2nd week since I've been off and I have alot of red marks on both cheeks. I've been applying aloe vera to my face every night for around a week. I know that's not a long time but whatever. What I really want to know is when I can start exfoliating my face to get rid of these marks. Or if something else can get rid of the red please tell me. Thanks!!
I dont advise that- i know acne sucks, and red marks suck too. Im not a derm- but you're skin has been through a lot with the accutane- and it wont fully recover till 2 months- (it takes 1 month to even get it out of youre system). Dont start till a couple months. For you to get to youre goal- it cant be rushed. TIll that time keep using aloe- and you must wear spf everyday. If you get a burn- or dont have protection those marks that you want to get rid of wont go away. Really sunscreen, and using a creamy basic cleanser (Cerave Hydrating cleanser) for a couple months will get you far.
My bro had bad acne- went on accutane- was left with marks- and by 4 months they were all about gone. You will be happy you didnt rush- good luck!
