Day 3
- I guess I'm experiencing what people on accutane call the initial breakout. I think I'm experiencing this because accutane pushes acne out to the skin quicker. It generally takes 2 weeks for acne to form.
- Joints are stiffer
- Muscle is used to the stiffness
- No improvement on acne so far
Day 4
- Left knee hurts a bit
- Some cyst begins to form and white heads. I went to the dermatologist for costisone shots for treatment
- Dermatologist said in 3 days I can alternate between 80mg accutane and 40mg
- No improvement with acne from accutane but thanks to costisone shots the cysts is healing fast
Thank you!
Day 12 - 18
- Nose bleeds happen from time to time
- Eyes are dry
- Lips are extremely dry so I put lip balm on it
- Lots of small black heads form on the nose... my dermatologist said it will eventually go away because of accutane
- Overall skin is a lot less oily, people don't mention how oily my skin is anymore
