Thanks foxtrotter! I'll take what I can get lol. I'm really looking forward to hearing about your success.

Really hate to hear this, but I'm glad he looks like he's turned the corner. It's better to deal with it at 15 than 25, believe me.

Hey, really glad things worked out for you! I guess it just proves everyone is different in terms of how long it takes for accutane to work, but the end result is almost always the same.

Just wanted to say good luck. And you're definitely not a weak person for being so down about your acne. Most people who say that stuff haven't dealt with persistent acne. Although you have a lot of r...

Go ahead and listen to your doctor. It's obviously not the accutane as I assume you got your blood drawn before taking the first dose. As far as when you'll feel the effects, it won't be in the firs...

3 days is no biggie. You'll find people on here who have missed a week and not had a big effect on their course. Next time, if you think you'll run out, you can lower your daily dose to make your pill...

It's really nice to hear from you. Most people who post regularly have been on multiple rounds with emphasis on people who post. It's just nice to know that there are those out there who've had perman...

Prednisone is a steroid like compound which will help with your inflammatory acne. It's used mainly as a stopgap for your initial breakout. Doctors will only prescribe it for a week or so. You can't b...

Peeling/flaking is absolutely normal. In fact most doctors will tell you that your acne generally starts to improve once you start to experience these symptoms

Really glad to hear it's working out! Sounds like your acne is the mild/moderate type. I'm curious if your acne is hormone related? As in, were you on birth control at some point and it didn't work?

I know how you feel when you say you're too old to be dealing with this. I'm 26m and still dealing with it. I wish you the best of luck, I'm sure this round of accutane will be really great for you. S...

If you are almost such it's not an STD, then I would say it's probably dryness caused by the accutane with a little smegma. Are you circumcised? Do you retract your foreskin everyday and wash?

Good luck on you course! Your scars aren't getting worse, but they may be more pronounced because the accutane is causing old pimples and inflammation to subside.

Day 126 Just a quick update..... I got a pretty small zitish thing on my hairline, not sure if it's acne. I kinda hurts when I push on it, but it hasn't gotten bigger for several days. The bad thing ...

Day 119 119 days seemed like an eternity when I first got on Claravis. It's just amazing how time flies. I'm still doing very well. I tried to shave a stray eyebrow yesterday and accidentally cut mys...

Yes ma'am. I'm a 25 m. Almost on my last month of accutane. I've had moderate acne which started coming back after a year of retin a and antibiotics. I'm responding really well to it without any major...

If your doctor thinks it's fine to be on accutane, then it's fine. The overwhelming majority of people won't have severe side effects. I'm glad you're doing well. Even though you're young and your acn...

Congratulations on your baby boy. I really hope this course is the long-term solution for you. If it means anything, you look really beautiful in your picture. Good luck!

Your skin looks really good. I'm very happy for you.

Day 103 Hey y'all. Can't believe how fast time flies. I've been cheating a little with my dosage. My derm bumped me to 80mg/day, but I've still been taking 60 mg, mostly because I have a bad habit of...

Hey Jon, I think being on the BP/differin really helps before using accutane. I'm doing really well right now (KOW). The first month was the toughest for me because it was that transition from diffe...

Jon, I thought I was reading my own log for a second; my situation is basically identical to yours except doxy and differin/tretinoin worked for me for about a year. I got on claravis in October with ...

Good luck man. The first month is usually the toughest, but I'm sure things will work out for you. Go get some aquaphor for your lips, best decision ever for me while on accutane. I got some ringwor...

Day 80 I'm still doing well. The 80 mg/day hasn't really had too much of an effect on my dryness (still fairly dry). I've had a couple of pimples here and there, but they are really not noticeable a...

Day 72 I'm doing well! I haven't an actual elpmip (sorry, trying not to jinx myself) for 3 weeks now. My face is pretty dry, but gets a little oily at the end of the day. I'm still on 40/80 until th...
