I'm sorry to hear. I was on Tretinoin for over 14 weeks before I was refereed to a dermatologist and prescribed Accutane. I'm on month two now and I'm clearped up besides a piece of skin I just HAD to...

I've been on the tretinoin cream .05% with doxycycline pills for over a year now, and I can say that theres been a lot of improvement. It did take a LONG time for the cream to actually work, and of co...

Hi there - You have been taking the 40mg/60mg now for 2 months, correct? that means you are taking 50 mg a day (40*15 days)+(60*15 days) = 1500mg / 30 = 50mg / day. So, at 110/115 pounds, that is mor...

So hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted on here and I don't really want to start a new topic in a different thread to give anyone who was wondering an update on my skin. Right around last Feb...

I made a new account aside from this one and tried posting an Accutane question but I guess it didn't post as it is not in my topics on my other profile. Basically, I have a few problems. Them being:...

When I was about to start on my accutane, i was extremely happy and in a good mood...just because I was conscious that by taking that first pill, my life will change. You should be too, you will be ac...

25 more days until Accutane. UGH. Why is this going by so damn slow? I'm too anxious! I just want to start it! My face has gotten worse, of course. I have a bunch of small, red, nearly whitehead pimp...

I was on Differin gel before Accutane. It was pretty expensive for me too, even with insurance...not quite as much as you paid though...that's just insane! I was on it before maybe 2 years ago? I do...

For me, a 30 day supply cost $20.00. $20 a month isn't too bad. Usually people are on Accutane for approx. 6 months. I work in the medical field and my insurance is alright. But I guess it depends on...

Hey, that's awesome that you will soon be starting Accutane! Best of luck! Accutane(Isotretinoin) is better absorbed if taken with a fatty meal. Therefore take it with the fattiest meal of the day (us...

This is very exciting. As some of you may know, I've dealt with acne since I was 10 years old. I tried literally every topical and antibiotic a doctor and/or dermatologist could prescribe. I went into...

Week 18 maybe? The reason I stopped using Tretinoin was because I broke out SO BAD. I literally have 6 zits just on the side of my chin/next to my mouth on each side of my face, a huge zit on my fore...

So I don't bore you I will keep this short: Basically, my doctor prescribed me Tretinoin gel 0.01% back near the end of November (2013) and recently in January I switched to Tretinoin Gel 0.025%. My ...

Week 17. Things don't look good. I keep breaking out and breaking out. I just woke up with a painful zit on my chin and have no clue why. This Tretinoin SUCKS. I feel so lead on by my doctor. She kep...

I started Veltin (Tretinoin+Clindamycin) about 6.5 months ago. I was in the thick of the IB by week 4- it. was. horrible. I still have scarring from it. I don't think that it began to calm down until ...

Week 16 or 16 1/2. Well I haven't worn makeup for nearly 2 weeks. It feels nice. I still can't go anywhere important without makeup however. As for the breakouts on my chin and forehead, my forehead ...

Quoting is being temperamental again, especially when someone posts an emoticon. ~1.5 months just seems too long. Keeping my fingers crossed for you while knocking on wood! My dad called and had us...

That smiley you posted is how I feel every time I see her. HAH. But whatever. I'll be going to the dermatologist in about a month and a half or so. It wouldn't let me quote you, sorry.

"Thinning the skin" is not a bad property. It depends how compact the stratum corneum becomes. IIRC, the thickness of the stratum corneum returns to normal after 6 months of tretinoin use. Reading the...

Hi Leoine, I just read over your posts and I'm sorry to hear you've had a crappy experience with tretinoin. I noticed a couple of things I wanted to share with you in case your dermatologist keeps you...

I'm sorry your having such bad luck with the tretinoin gel I'm just starting Biacna also called Ziana --- its combination of clindamycin antibiotic and tretinoin gel. maybe you need to try an antibiot...

I haven't a clue, i used to get similar breakouts to you but now my forehead is clear and my chin still breaks out, I know chin breakouts are supposedly hormonal but apart from that I have no idea. Ac...

How could we know, there is no way to know what is causing your acne, no dermatologist can really know, not even you can know, just gotta try everything until something works, any dermatologist will p...
