acne_suks 0 Posted October 25, 2003 I'm almost done with my third week on Accutane. I'm taking 40mg a day (two 20mg pills morning/night). The past two weeks haven't been a pretty site I keep having crazy flare-ups - worse than before - but they seem to subside quickly. My face is a 'pinkish' tone. I have MASS blackheads on my nose - I hope it's because they're being pushed out from under my skin? What I'm Using: Cetaphil Daily Face Wash (morning/night) Erythromycin Pads (morning/night) Wash with plain water around noon Eucerin Daily Replenishing Moisturizer Should I stay away from the erythromycin pads? They don't seem to be irrating, but I'm not sure if they're helping. Anyone have any experience on them? What should I do to prevent the pinkish texture in my face? I'm at college and they serve fatty fatty foods i have to eat. Is this going to effect my outcome? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron69 0 Posted October 26, 2003 I do not know what Erythromycin Pads are but keep your regimen simple just basic cleansing and moisturizer Accutane will do the rest and judging by your break-outs Accutane is working well breaking out on the Tane and getting the junk out is a good thing some people break out their entire course...

FyreFemme 0 Posted October 28, 2003 I have MASS blackheads on my nose - I hope it's because they're being pushed out from under my skin? Yep, thats it. During the few weeks I was on accutane the only time my nose felt like normal skin was just after a good washing. The rest of the time it had this funny, almost fuzzy feeling. It was all of the blackheads coming out. Kinda sick but overall a very good thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
