Days 58-80 I haven't updated this in awhile because I felt like there was nothing in particular to report. Most of my side effects have gotten better or I have gotten use to them almost completely. My...

Days 50-58 I go back into the derm in a couple of days for my 2nd month check up. I am almost half way through. Side affects: -face is peeling really bad -face is very red -face is very dry without ...

Days 45-50 My skin hasn't been looking it's best lately but it definitely isn't at it's worst. It's pretty dry and it peels a lot, but other than the peeling, it's not too bad. My nose is extremely dr...

Days 33-45 I don't have a whole lot to report. The side affects haven't been so bad lately, or I am just getting more used to them. My chest still hurts when I go to the gym but it usually isn't too b...

I know what you mean about the dry eyes! My final exams are coming up soon so I am studying a lot and it is really irritating. Lots of eye drops

Days 27-33 My skin is pretty much 100% clear right now. My lips are soooo dry and get sunburnt very easily but bag balm has been my savior! I scalp is very itchy, and I think I am starting to get ecze...

The time your course takes all depends on your daily dose and the cumulative dose you would like to reach. It's a pretty easy calculation, if you want to see if you're on track. I'll use myself as an ...

Days 23- 27 I went to the derm today and for my second month I will still be taking 30 mg twice daily. He also told me that I will only be on accutane for 4 months total. That makes me very happy to h...

hello! to anyone reading this.. i was wondering if anyone could recommend a light, good coverage, non-comedogenic and oil free foundation for accutane?? ive been using cover fx foundation but its real...

Days 13- 22 I haven't had a bloody nose in over a week, I have been using aquaphor and a humidifier to help with that. I had a really bad break out on my left cheek, but it has been about a week and ...

There isn't a specific reason as to why you should not, but I have found(and many other people) that it makes the dryness, redness, and irritability much worse. Since accutane already makes your skin ...

I would not recommend using any make up while on accutane, but I know it is hard not to . But what works for me is putting on a lot of moisturizer before I do anything(cerave cream), then a mineral m...

Days 10-12 I have been breaking out the past few days. It's not the worst break out I've ever had, but I think it might be because I went out a few times this weekend and haven't been sleeping a lot l...

Day 9- Does anyone know if it is normal or not to have chest pain? I have been getting a little bit of chest pain here and there but then last night when I was lifting at the gym my chest was hurting ...

Day 8- My lips feel dry no matter what I do. Normal chapstick, vaseline lip therapy, and aquaphor have not been working at all. It's kind of weird, but I put Cerave lotion on my lips and then aquaphor...

Day 7- Today my face started to peel A LOT. My scalp is also very dry and I think I'm starting to get dandruff . I have been moisturizing at least 5 times a day and I am constantly putting stuff on m...

I have noticed some tingling in my fingers too, and also my feet. It's weird but I don't think it is anything to be too concerned about .

Day 6- My face and lips are starting to dry up. I have been constantly putting on lotion and aquaphor but I guess I need more or something? My eyes are a little dry too. I noticed that when I got out ...

day 15 only updating because I am seeing another side effect now. my right shoulder blade on my back is quite stiff and sore today. im going to stick with weekly updates but if something happens signi...

Day 5- I broke out all over my face the other day in places that I normally don't break out in but it all cleared up pretty quickly. My lips are starting to feel very dry even though I am constantly a...

DAY 30 (i think) so i have a massive boil like spot on the back of my shoulder! MASSIVE it seems to be drying out so hopefully it wont be around long... Keep your head up Lala, you'll get through ...

Day 3: I don't have a lot to report yet, it's been uneventful so far. My lips are already starting to get a little bit dry but I've been putting on a lot of Vaseline lip therapy so it hasn't been too ...

Thanks, Kim! That makes me feel better . Good luck to you on your second course!     Also, I lied. My doctor told me I would be on 30mg , but I got my prescription and I am on 30 mg twice ...

Good luck! I am starting today! I know exactly what you mean. My acne isn't severe either but I have scars and it really sucks. In a way scars are worse than the actual acne since they don't go away.

After a crazy, stressful day with many miscommunications at the pharmacy, I finally am starting accutane! This month I am doing 30 mg a day(I feel like this might be a little too low, my derm initiall...
