hey just stopping by again to offer support. I have the dry scaley spots on my upper arm too. I had it my second round, so it was expected. I just have more now. (maybe because I've been on a higher d...

Hey there! I'm on day 83. I still have some pimples arise here and there. They sort of come and go pretty quickly, but when they come, they are mighty ugly. This is my second round of Accutane. In my ...

Hey there, this side effect is totally normal. Its just really dry, irritated skin. Sometimes looks like eczema. My job makes it worse because I have to wash my hands a lot and take gloves on and off....

hey @abdarhman I'm no doctor, but I have been on Accutane for 6-7 months 2 years ago and am taking it again, finishing my third month soon. I can tell you from my experience that during my first ro...

Hey Susie, did you finish the Accutane treatment, or did you stop taking it early at 4 months? I'm sorry to hear about the hair loss but relieved that I, and a friend of mine, are not the only ones...

I always wonder how doctors choose their doses, why they choose to increase vs decrease. I understand starting out small and gradually increasing. I think the general knowledge is that there is an opt...

Hey there! I'm a second round Accutane user. I don't have much good news, but maybe you can mentally prepare for this. You will break out soon. You may endure 2 or 3 spaced-out break outs, which is...

in my experience, the entire course of Accutane is basically a purging of all the bad stuff under our skin and for people like us with acne, there are LAYERs and LAYERs of bad. I had 1 initial breakou...

Hey there. Yeah it just looks like discoloration, redness, and/or scars. Unfortunately I only had higher doses of Accutane and think it works better on higher doses. Maybe stock up on pills for a ...

Hey. I'm on the second pill pack of my second month and still breaking out. Keep your head up. We will see the light soon. My skin didn't look dramatically better until end of third month. Patience is...

@ajaxz @3wishes14 I have a question to ask since we are all on our 2nd or 3rd round. First, what sex are you? I am female. Second, what regimen did you use on your skin AFTER accutane? What cleanser, ...

2 hours ago, ajaxz said: Im in the same situation as yours. except my first round was in 2012, my second was in 2015 too and im with the pills here in my desk for micro-dosing a third round ...

first round was 30/40/40/60/40. My triglycerides got a little high on 60 so they took me down. This time I started on 40 and the doc mentioned increasing to 80 which is wild to me! I have a feeling I ...

hey, im on accutane round 2 day 27. my initial breakout is fucking with me, mentally. accutane worked for me the first time and I know it will work again but just seeing my face like this in the mirro...

I am too late to this topic, but I ran into the same issue my first round of accutane. Its obviously not suggested by the doctor, but I was on either 30-40mg and my 21st birthday came up. I stopped ta...

Hi! I relapsed and started accutane round 2 in January. As much as I wish we both had clear skin, it is nice to see that I am not alone. I am on day 27 and even though I know what symptoms to expect, ...

Hi so I unfortunately am starting round 2 of accutane 2 years later. Don't have signs of blistery lips yet but I will say that I do remember getting rid of them. I either unbent a paperclip to use one...

Hello. My lip picture is sorta graphic.   I am a 20 y/o female on day 17 of accutane. On day 15 I noticed little bumps on my lips. Clear/lip colored. Thought nothing of it. I've been slathering ...

Thank you for the rant. I can relate completely. I have definitely felt this way. I put so much more effort into my day to avoid being seen / stared at. I am 20 and female, also attending college. The...

when you'd rather be homeschooled to prevent embarrassment at school.   when you're afraid to go to CVS, because someone you know might see you buying acne products.   when you know the girl...

Congratulations! I love reading success stories! This makes me want to use BP big time. I'll start by experimenting with forhead. It worked before.. but it occasionally makes me get nodules. Hm. I'd ...
