I really don't think it's the acne. Maybe she's been really busy.

I am on day 18 of my Accutane journey, so not very far at all. This isn't my log, but it is someone else's before and after pictures which help me a lot. You should check out her log as well.

I'm in a similar boat. Just started Accutane a little over two weeks ago to treat my severe acne. It is on my cheeks, painful and itchy, and bleeds every night. Hopefully the Accutane will work for us...

I have had at least five different little kids ask me what's on my face/what's wrong with my face. I've also had an adult recommend certain makeup products (right, like that will cure cystic acne. I d...

Mine was too so I tried coconut oil... let's just say it didn't agree with my scalp and I woke up with a burning/itchy scalp... it's not itchy now though, so I don't know what changed.

I'm on day 15, and not really dry yet either. Sometimes it takes a little while. And as for the IB, I am definitely experiencing mine. Lots of new white heads and cysts... I guess that means it's work...

I've only been on Accutane for two weeks now, but I use the Cetaphil face wash (although I am going to switch to Cerave when it's gone) and the Cerave moisturizer. I really like it, and have been usin...

I have found that the cysts I already have itch. It is usually when they are starting to heal though.

Good luck with your treatment! I'm only a few days ahead of you, although this is my first time on Accutane.

It really depends. You can get it done now so you will have beautiful skin, but there is a chance you will end up with scarring once you come off of BC. Are you willing to do it twice? There is also a...

Quick question: can I eat grapefruit while taking Accutane? During the winter I eat one almost every day, and one place I was reading said I shouldn't eat them.

I've read about some people who experienced hair loss. After washing my hair yesterday I seemed to lose more than normal, but I'm probably paranoid good luck!

Good luck with your treatment! Today is day 11 for me, so we're both really close together. I'm a little dry as well, but it's not too bad.

Thanks! Good luck to you too. And yeah, there is definitely a lot of bad press. Sometimes denial is a good thing though

I would keep working out, just maybe change it up so you won't be as sore. But definitely stay active. Good luck with your treatment!

Correction: I do have some new cysts. I just have so many it's hard to keep them straight.

Day 10. I finished my first pack!! I had to set an alarm on my phone though so I can remember to take my pill every night. Let's see. So far my face is starting to dry out. I definitely have to use...

Good luck! I am on day 9, and I'm starting to dry out a little bit. Not bad yet!

I would rather have clean skin considering I don't even wear makeup. Haha

That is true. What causes one person's acne might not be the same as someone else. Experiment and see what works for YOU! While diet doesn't play a part in mine (I don't think, but I might still be wr...

I would try easing into the retin-a. I was told to use it every night about a year ago, and I also experienced the redness and burning so I told my derm about it. She said to use it ever other night (...

Day 5! Woohoo! At this point I really wish I never read any of the possible bad side affects because every little ache and pain I have makes me think it is a reaction to the Accutane e even though it'...

I started the OCM a few months ago and used castor oil, olive oil, and a very small amount of jasmine oil justbfor the scent. I really liked it, but decided it didn't help my cystic acne at all. My sk...

I agree about the diet factor. I eat healthy foods, get plenty of exercise and sleep, and drink water constantly and yet I have cystic acne. You can't tell me it is diet causing my acne at least...

Today was my fourth day, and I am so thankful I have finally started. That means we are all one step closer to clear skin! good luck!
