lexilex 0 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hi everyone--I've been so effing busy with work and school and stuff that I signed on today for the first time in...um...maybe a month and a half... I am coming up on my 20th week, but I'll probably be on for, like, 25 weeks... but my skin is clear--basically! Yeah, you heard me--CLEAR! I mean, I have red spots aplenty and some little scars, but nothing my wonderful makeup can't handle. The other day someone actually told me my skin was glowing--I teared up! the reason I am writing isn't to gloat--sorry if I am--but just to tell you accutane did work for me. I had (for those of you who don't know me) one of the worst initial breakouts ever.... HORRIBLE cysts and whiteheads all over my cheeks. My derm started me on 80, then upped to 100, then finally to 120, which i have been on for 2 months now (A high dose for my weight--125lbs)... I also went back on chinese herbs, and the 2 together worked wonders.So how is everyone doing? (frankie??)Happy long weekend,Lexi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest <*> Share Posted July 4, 2005 I'm on my 11th day. Had a bad break out on about the 5th day and it is starting to clear slowly I think. My skin is not dry but my lips are quite dry. My spots are drying up and flake off after a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
