Hello, i am a 19 year old male (almost 20) i have had severe back acne around 2 years ago (big big red hurtful ones) but i ignored them like always amd they eventually fade away but they really didnt. I traveled to canada after like 1 year and they kind of cleared up over there (note that i only had acne on my back) and they prolly cleared cause of the cold weather or so. anws i workout alot, my diet is under control i guess, my blood levels are pretty normal and im an overall healthy fit person, however going a few years back, i used to eat like a pig, literally. i used to eat alot of junk from mcdonals, kfc, etc. twice a day sometimes... but im an ectomorph is really hard for me to get fat, so i stayed lean. now i started to hit the gym really hard around 8 months ago (right after i came back from canada) and during the process i started getting my acne back on my back, little by little some started appearing on mt face but nothinf serious, and then brokeout on my chest and thats where ive had it. i went to the doctor and he prescribed me roaccutane isotretinoin 2 times a day (40mg total/day) for 6 months straight. so being the frustrated person that i am, i wrnt home and started treating the acne by taking some medication drugs, first 1-2 weeks didnt notice anything, no dried lips no nothing. after a month my acne became ALOT worse i broke out like crazy on my back and chest and also on my face, they are big big red ones that really really hurt. Anyways the doctor told me it was normal and the medicine "throws" out all the toxins from my body so i said okay and just kept goin with my life, its been around 2 months and 13 days on this drug and look at my chest acne (pics) they turned to big scabs, if i remove the scab there is like red meat or flesh pouring out of my body, its slimt its red and really disgusting, they hurt when im sleeping, and keep spitting blood out. i cant shower because they open up and if i try to dry my skin with a towel they burn and stain the towel with blood. i am SOO frustrated with this i cant take it anymore i spent my whole summer not going out much and stuff. There is NO way i can get topless, even with my shirt on its staining my tshirts, u have university and this is a big provlem for me. Some ppl told me wait and time will heal it, but i dont think that would work because they are BIG BIG scabss!!! ive tried leaving them untouched for about 10 days without showering!!! i stayed at home but they are still all weet and bloody from the inside they dont seem to dry out!! i am completely depressed right now (and the iso isnt making my depression nor my acne any better). Im afraid if iso doesnt cure it, im doomed.
Dude dont pick your scabs just let them chill. Accutane is a fucking lifesaver, it kicks acnes ass you just have to stick with it as hard as it is. Look at all the accutane logs on this website and see how many people have had success with the stuff
hey man thanks for ur reply im trying to stick with it altho its a bit annoying i will bear through anything that could possibly help fix my acne problem! The thing is im scared that these wont go aqay because this is not acne anymore, they are BIG red meat or flesh pouring out of my body its like a red slime coming out and then dries up from the outside, however the insides stay all bloody a bit pussy yellow and wet no matter how long i wait it out. i havent seen anyone yet experience scabs like ive got :/ any additional posts would greatly help! thanks alot everyone and have a nice day! Seriously if you are acne-free just realize how blessed you are and how crippled ppl eith severe acne are.
My acne was waaaayyyyy fucking worse than yours. I didnt get any scabs but cuts would heal a lot slower on accutane. Just seriously dont pick them anymore, as shitty as it may seem because eventually they will heal. If I were you I'd put big globs of some moisturizer or lotion on top of them whenever you're at home hanging out, and keep applying it as it gets absorbed.

LOOK WHAT ROACCUTANE DID TO ME. I GOT LIKE 14 OF THOSE THINGS A OVER MY BODY (NOT AS BIG THOUGH).
THANK YOU ROACCUTANE!!!!!!!!!!!
fuck my life
You might want to see a doctor. My advice would be to stay with the Accutane and put neo sporin on those cuts to help it heal and to prevent infection. With Accutane it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Just stick with it and in like 3-6 months you'll have clear skin.
My son who is 15 has been taking accutane for a few weeks now and his acne has gone from bad to HORRIBLE. He is suffering so much that it breaks my heart. He has huge lesions and scabs all over his back and chest and shoulders. He cannot do much without pain. It hurts t sit, lie down and shower. His body bleeds after each shower and drying his skin is painful. It sounds much like what Acnesucks99 has been describing in this forum. He doesn't want to put lotion on his skin because it hurts so badly. I feel so helpless...

Just keep supporting him, it will get better soon. Accutane is truly a livesaver if you can stick it out.
