I am currently on accutane and I use Cerave lotion. I used to use generic cetaphil lotion but it was just so greasy. It didn't break me out though. But, cetaphil cleansers DID break me out. What are y...

So, I haven't updated my log in a while because nothing has really happened. I restarted accutane after a four-ish day break because of stomach pains. They haven't come back since I restarted it, than...

I've had acne on my chest and back since I was 12 (I'm 21 now) and I'm sure no one knows I have it because I NEVER wear shirts that would show it. Don't even remember the last time I wore a swimsuit! ...

First of all, if you have other symptoms (other than acne) pointing to a hormonal issue, I would recommend seeing a doctor who can properly diagnose you with something. As far as Saw Palmetto goes, I ...

Don't we all. I was sick of smothering on benzoyl peroxide, using all these special washes, and coming to this site for a "cure" practically every day. So, I decided to go on accutane 2 weeks ago and ...

Day 14. So, I have bad news. I took this medicine as directed for two weeks. For the last three days I have had an incredibly painful and unpleasant stomach ache. I have been miserable. No puking or t...

I feel like I'm posting on every thread because I have tried everything! Lol. I have used hydrogen peroxide on my chest and it does clear it up a bit but it takes a while for it to work. I don't think...

I'm pretty sure they have exactly the same ingredients. One time I looked at both bottles in the store reading the ingredients (yes, I was standing there for quite a while) and they were the same. May...

Day 11: Nothing new, really. I have a weird rash on my hand that's been there almost the whole time, but I forgot to mention it. My face is the same, chest is smoother. That is all really! I probably ...

Day 9! For the last two days I have been going back and forth trying to decide if I should continue this medicine. I don't know why the hell I've been reading every single horror story, but I have. It...

Day 8.... After my little freak out last night, I'm not feeling much better. I emailed my doctor about the back pain and he said lower back pain is common and to try Aleve. Well, I have all over back ...

I am not so sure I want to continue this medication! I don't know why, but I was sucked into reading the horror stories all over the internet about hair loss and permanent joint pain. My back is KILLI...

DAY 7!!! One week down! Yay!! Felt like a piece of doodoo last night. My back and my stomach hurt, but I don't think it was related to my treatment because now it's gone and I feel fine. My lips are g...

I am almost at a week on my journey. I, too, am very worried about the initial breakout as I have never had severe acne. So far it's going well and I hope it stays that way!

I am on day 6 and I am starting to notice dryness on my lips, face, and scalp. Of course everyone is different, but I think around a week is common to see dryness.

Lips are officially dry! Yay! Last night at work I was super tired....it was pretty bad. Not really any breakouts. My face feels kind of rough and it's dry. I tried the cetaphil cream but it was way...

Day 6!! I am definitely drier!! My face is dry and my lips are getting chapped. I'm so excited to notice something! Lol. I had a decent headache last night, but that could be many things. My face is d...

Day 5??? Took first pill on Thursday, so does that count as day one? Yeah, I think I'm on day 5. So, my face and scalp are starting to get drier! They get randomly itchy....it's kind of annoying to ha...

Thanks for the replies, ladies! Smallbirdie- How funny we started the same day! Lets definitely keep comparing. No new updates today. My face is doing quite well, but I'm sure that will change once...

I woke up this morning to a few new pimples. Oh no!! I don't know if these would have come up without the accutane or if the medicine brought them up. Here's to hoping they go away fast. Other than a...

Took my first pill last night! I was very worried! Obviously nothing new to report . I did feel dizzy in the middle of the night, but that might just be in my head. I'm one of the biggest hypochondria...

Hi everyone, After reading things on this site for years, I have finally decided to make my own post because I am starting a course of accutane today. I will make my long story short, hopefully. ...
