Do you have an update on your condition? My scalp acne is very similar to yours. I took accutane around 4 years ago with great success in clearing my moderate acne on my face and severe cystic acne ...

Differin and tretinoin operate under the same mechanism to fight acne so the combination of the 2 would most likely be very irritating. Many people have good luck with a retinoid like tretinoin and a...

Definitely do not stop everything at once. Its best to only change one thing at a time. This will ensure you know what is having an affect on your acne, and what is not. I agree with dunedane as fa...

  Hello all, I haven't been active in the forums lately, but I wanted to do a long term review of accutane. I am 2 years post accutane and I would like to go over my experience over the long ...

A lot of it is personal preference, and everyones skin reacts different to accutane. If your skin isn't getting overly dry, then go for the splashing water. I tried to plan my showers around washing...

You are definitely going to get a lot of answers, but certain skincare habits will be overlooked by your derm. Not that they are bad, but their job is to prescribe and monitor your accutane course an...

Hello all, I haven't been active in the forums lately, but I wanted to do a long term review of accutane. I am 2 years post accutane and I would like to go over my experience over the long run. I a...

My acne wasn't widespread, but my chin had horrible cysts and my back was a mess. Accutane cleared me up perfectly. My back was clear within abut 2 months if I remember correctly. Also, all of my l...

Hey man sounds like we had similar situations when starting accutane. What's you skincare routine besides taking accutane?? How you take care of your skin will make a big difference in your accutane...

10ish Months Post Accutane I think?? So I haven't been on in forever and I figured I'd update this old log. I finshed up accutane last January or December I think. Can't remember exactly. But anyw...

Thanks for the help! I'm looking into different sulfate free shampoos. Anyone know of any good ones other than Burt's Bee's and Jason's?

were you able to sleep without waking up during tane? Hey, I'm sorry I've been pretty inactive on here since finshing tane. I ad no problems sleeping. I had hardly any side affects at all and im ...

I was wondering what a good shampoo is for men who don't want something that will break them out. Im using head and shoulder which i started during accutane. I've been off accutane for a few months ...

Hey everyone, I finshed a course of accutane about a month ago and everything went great. Lately I have been getting this weird red "lump" between my bottom lip and chin. I had a really bad cysts ...

Ideally you want to have taken at the end of your course 150 mg of accutane per killogram you weigh. The closer you can get to that point the better you chances are of permanent remission. You still...

Give your derm a quick call to be sure but 3 days in you should be fine IMO.

2 Weeks post tane So not much to report. Since starting the new topical, haven't had a lick of folliculitis. My skin is a bit flaky in the morning, but nothing moisturizer can't handle. It has al...

10 days post accutane So after a 6 month course, I reached about 150 mg/kg (my weight fluctuates but that was about the average). I went to my derm for my final appointment and talked to him about ...

Hey everyone, I just finished up accutane and my derm wants me to continue with a retinoid for 6 months after. He prescribed me Veltin which is tretinoin and clindamycin because I've been getting a...

In my opinion, it's probably a phsycological side affect of lowered sex drive form the medication rather than a physical one. Low sex drive is a common side effect of depression so perhaps that's the...

I was actually almost clear when starting accutane other than a few chin cysts and horrible bacne. I was using minocycline, retin a, clindamycin, and a benzoyl peroxide wash (not all at once of cours...

So I finish Accutane tomorrow and I'm wondering what I should do post tane. My derm wants 6 months of a retinoid which I agree with. After seeing him though, I am still getting small whiteheads on m...

i always wash before cleansing.... just makes sense to avoid spreading oils and bacteria to your face

If you can avoid it, do so. I drank once a week for the first 2 months, and months 3-5 or so There were weeks were i got hammered everyday at college. My blood was fine. I still drink 2-3 times per...

DAY 165 Hey everyone. Not much news here. I have been getting the occasional clogged pore on my chin which is kind of unsettling but after I scrape it off gently, the inflamation s gone by the end...
