After Accutane

[tomica 0]

I am a male, 22 years old.

Now, I am on Roaccutane for about 5 months.

I have good results with therapy...

If my doctor say, maybe i will take it for 3-4 months, but i will decrease my dose.

I take 30 mg per day and my weight is cca. 70 kg.

My problem is tiny acne.

I do not know how you call them, maybe bumps.

It is something like comedonal acne, sometimes whiteheads.

After a while, they come to be papules and pustules...in my worst period.

I do not have papules and pustules for a months!

This bumps that I have is especially on places where a beard grew (but on some places it did not grew up yet-and this is a problem).

I am afraid I will have this problem for a long time...while my beard grew up on my cheeks...and improve on this places.

If it would be a necessarily, i will go to a second course.

But if i can control this tiny bumps, i will rather avoid 2nd course!

If somebody have similar problem, please tell me what did you do and what can control them?

I read that black men have often a problem with that!

I am apologize for may bad bad english!

Hi there.

Wish I knew what it was ... I get lots of tiny ones.. I can feel them under my skin..

For me, it has a lot to do with my health.. my excercise and my eating habbits.

If I eat crap and drink a lot..then voila my face shows it.

If I drink a lot of water and eat lots of veggies and fruit, then I look much better.

Food, Water, and Sleep.

I haven't found a way to avoid the tiny ones at all. I've tried so many creams and lotions and pills..

I'm hoping that accutane will finally make a difference!

Good Luck! Hang in there!

p.s.

what language do you speak?

I am from Croatia, east Europe.

That is ok what you say, but i have exactly problem on some places!

And I believe when my beard grew up, my problem will disappear!

On my forehead were acne, but i do not mean that it will appear again after my course of Raccutane.

have you tried a topical retinoid, such as differin, retin a, or tazorac. i recommend using one of those.

Yes, I tried differin cream.

It did nothing for me.

I thing it was in that way because my face was terrible at this time.

Lots of papules and pustules...

Second time when I was tried something like concentrat of vitamin A, my face was destroyed...a thousand of little bumps which going to be worst in couple a days...so, there was!

I am scared to put something which contain vitamin A on face!

But now (when i finished course), maybe it can help me...now,i do not really have acne-just red marks!!!

But i know when I finished Roaccutan, just in two months everything will be back to "normal"...acne will be here!
