Hey girl, we're the same height, weight & have the same degree of acne! Thats awesome! I'll be following your log. <3

btw, is your perscription 30 pills or 60? cause my one says that theres 60 pills in it, so im guessing i need to take a blood test every 2 months? weird.

Wow that is amazing! Please follow the log and maybe do entries as well! Would be so helpful to be able to compare situations, side effects etc.
I think my prescription is 50 pills, but I need to go to the lab every month and take blood tests or it wont be renewed. Maybe you have to take 2 pills daily?
When do you start?

3rd day onA few new pimples have appeared

Nope. It says 60 pills, once a day. I think my blood tests every two months! Where are you from? In Australia packs come in 60 pills. :/

I am from Denmark, so that might explain why the packaging is different 🙂

UPDATE:
Spent the weekend in a cabin in Sweden. Lots of snow and cold weather which did not really help my skin. Also I had some alcohol both Friday and Saturday..
Headaches are gone! Only lasted the first couple of days. Still trying to drink as much water as possible.

6th day on isotretinoin

• Skin is getting pretty dry
• Lips are dry and a bit sore
• New spots are still appearing, although the overall complexion is looking better.

DONE WITH MY FIRST WEEK! 🙂

Feeling a lot better! Still dry lips and redness to the skin, but apart from a breakout on my left jawline, I am not getting any new spots and my face is pretty clear overall.

YAY, feeling positive about this!

I wouldnt use the moisturizer until you need it. My skin was actually more oily than normal for the first 2 weeks. There are also some people who never get dry skin. So hold off on the moisturizer until you need it. It will probably happen really fast.

I agree with Jones4545
I'm sure you'll need it at some point, so just wait until then 🙂
My skin became very dry from the beginning, but my skin tends to be dry and the climate here doesn't exactly help!
My scalp is getting so dry and it is so itchy! If anyone has any advice, please let me know!
I use a gentle perfume free shampoo, coconut oil hairmask (also on the scalp), taking short showers without the water being too hot. I don't know what else to do..

Done with 2 weeks of accutane!
My skin is very dry and is still breaking out a little. However, it has a different glow about it!
My scalp is still itching like crazy - any advice is very very welcome.
Also, I've noticed my eyebrows are thinning. I am used to having quite full eyebrows, so it looks weird.
I've taken a pic so you guys can see what I mean.. Warning: Extremely pale-skinned person 

I've read that coconut oil helps - any other advice?

I'm in the same boat with the dry itchy scalp. Mine also is having pretty bad dandruff. I have been using head and shoulders shampoo conditioner mix with has helped a little, but I think I need to do like a scalp treatment with oil or something.

For some reason I don't have any dandruff (yet).. I just tried to cover my hair and scalp in coconut oil and left it there for a couple of hours. It wasn't exactly comfortable to wear, but I was at home writing an exam anyways, so it didn't bother me that much. After I've taken a shower it has really helped. I don't know about in the long run. But it did get rid of most of the itchiness! I'll let you know if it lasts more than a couple of hours 🙂

Ok, I just got back form the dermatologist and he recommended something called "Scalpicin" for itchy scalp while on accutane. Its over the counter. He said its the best thing. I hope this helps.

You'll probably be taking it twice a day then because don't you have to get blood work every single month ? I get 70 pills a month too but I take it twice a day
