Hey all, I am writing this thread just to give a little update on my skin since I have been off accutane - and it’s great news! About 10 weeks ago I took my last accutane tablet. At the time, my skin...

Because I was breaking out until the final two weeks of treatment. My derm told me that people who get long term results from accutante generally do not break out after their third or forth month of ...

Today is the first day in nearly six months when I won't be taking tane. I am now officially off the meds! Happy to confirm that I only suffered dry skin, lips and eyes as side effects on 60mg a day....

I just got back from my dermatologist for the results of my fouth blood test on Accutane, which happened back in April. I have less then two weeks of medication left and my skin is about 70% clear I w...

Day 109 My face is starting to clear up nicely. I have got really bad ezecma on my hands, infact the entire top layer of skin on my left thumb has peeled off. Fairly nasty and painful. Im plying aque...

Day 95 Woken up this morning and upset to see i have had a mini outbreak. I have small spots on my forehead and cheeks. No way as big as my spots would have been prior to roaccutane, but never the le...

I just answered a similar question. Personally, I would choose clear skin over tanned skin, and to be honest you don’t have many options in this situation. You really need to educate yourself on thi...

Short answer: Don’t do it, you’ll get burned to crisp (even if you are a natural tanned person) and worsen your acne, scars / red marks. Long answer: Your skin will be much more sensitive on Accutane...

Day 76 I got sunburnt today, on the first day of what looks to be a fairly bright sunny and hot British summer. I had to take my car for a MOT and sat out in the garage forecourt whist it underwent t...

What about Whey protein and the gym? I heard that Whey can cause acne, although I dont think it's proved, so I stopped taking it and thus stopped going to the gym. So I am in two minds weather to cont...

It varies from person to person. Day 68 here and I am still breaking out, albeit not as badly, and my lips are still extremely dry. About 87 more days to go! I am currently using Blistex Relief Cream...

It is very rare for me to see any shedding at all,maybe because I keep my hair short. Now whenever I touch my hair throughout the day I see a few hairs on my hand, will it get worse if I continue? I...

@Vinponic   Mate, if you look back on some of my posts you will see that I was just as paranoid when I first started accutane. So paranoid that I even told my dermatologist, who told me I was cr...

This is just a little update. It is day 56 now, and 2 weeks since I have been on 60mg. Today was my first day back at university after a week off for revision. My outlook on last week was seven days w...

Day 44. Yesterday I had an appointment at my dermatoligst, who clarfied all which has been stated in here by you guys! Since my last post, my skin has stopped breaking out and healing is taking place....

Day 34 My acne is now the worst it has ever been. Huge cystic spots all across my cheeks and forehead. I can see more coming, by morning I predict I will have 4 or 5 more. Some of them have broken th...

I know, totally impatient. So frustrating, I spent over 1k on RegenLite, over a course of two years, prior to starting Accutane and god only know how much on face washes and creams to get in the place...

This thread was originally titled "Accutane Day 31: Still Breaking Out", however I have renamed it as it has now become a more of a diary for me to document my experience, give and receive advice as w...

I really want to keep the threat of hair loss and thinning at a absolute minimun whilst I am taking roaccutane. Normally, my hair is really greasy due to gel I put in it. Is there anything I can do be...

Is hair loss linked to dosage or the length of the course?

Do you need to be on the course for a certain amount of time or be taking a high dose to suffer from hair loss? I just started a 4 month course today, 30mg for a month and a half then 60mg for the res...

I just started roaccutane today. A sixteen week course, with the first six weeks taking 30mg a day and then 60mg until the end of the course. The doctor described my acne as moderate, but has put me o...
