Hello all, I've been referring to this website throughout my isotretinoin journey and thought i'd share my before/after photos. My skin is basically back to normal (no longer paper thin and my hair is getting oily quicker). You can even see how the medicine had messed my lips up and, I covered my eyes but, you'd also be able to see how tired/dry Accutane made my eyes.

 

As you can see, there's a huge improvement but I am wondering... For those who have finished their course, did your skin stay red and a bit irritated like mine? And does it go away on it's own? I also am getting very tiny bumps on one of my cheeks, neck and chest, which worries me. Is that normal? I thought this was supposed to make everything completely go away. :(

 

Other questions I had:

How long should I wait to get a piercing? How long should I wait to dye my hair? When I went to my dermatologist, I was so excited that I forgot to ask all of this lol.

I'm only on Month 3 but your skin looks awesome, gives me hope! :) I do believe the redness takes time but does go away!

Thank you!

For your dryness, have you tried Cerave? I swear by it, perfect moisture without any oily/greasiness feel.

As for the redness, we're both on the same boat :( Little by little, it'll get back to normal on it's own, I suppose.
