The itchy dry scalp went away after about a month for me, just hold out! Try using coconut oil - massage it into your scalp before taking a shower. It helped me a lot.

So i just finished my 5 month course on 80mg/day about 3 weeks ago. My side effects were average: dry lips and skin, body aches, eczema... but never felt depression/anxiety/suicidal thoughts at all th...

my acne was moderate when i started accutane (I had been trying other prescriptions drugs/creams which helped a little but did not clear me up) I got my IB about a month in... my skin actually complet...

Obviously call your doctor and ask right away. I know accutane can cause an upset stomach if taken without food... but if you are having trouble breathing and stomach bleeding, that needs to be addres...

Thanks! I have neutrogena clear face actually and I liked it before accutane. But it makes my skin sting so bad after applying it. Which then makes me red for hours.

I bought cerave hydrating cleanser which I actually wasn't a huge fan of. It burned my skin and felt like it left a film on my face, and my skin got really flaky which made me desperate to exfoliate l...

Hi everyone I work with kids and with the warmer weather coming up, we will definitely be spending more time on the playground/outside. Being on accutane I have heard horror stories about sun exposure...

your skin looks awesome! congrats! I have pretty much the same side effects as you. The worst being dry lips, eczema (rash on my hands), and the rib/back pain (omg this has been so bad lately). For l...

Id rather be white as a ghost than risk going tanning on accutane. You'll survive without a tan and your skin will thank you for it.

Are you scratching a lot? it looks like you've broken the skin and that may be why it's swelling. I have eczema on the backs of my hands and arms from accutane and Ive been using lotion containing col...

everyone is different. Ive heard stories of people clearing up after one month, and others not seeing clear skin until after 6 months. Maybe because you were on a lower dose for a while, your skin is ...

the first 3 months on any birth control are an adjustment period. It usually settles down after that. I just started Junel fe a month ago and I've basically had my period for the whole month. Sucks, b...

I really like tarte amazonian clay smooth operator. It stays all day! Not sure about the comedogenic part but it hasn't broken me out that i know of. I have the loose powder but it comes in pressed to...

Hi! I just started my second month and my scalp was one of the first things to dry out (used to have very oily hair). I shower every day, but have been washing my hair about every 3 days. I definitely...

I use the cerave cream in the tub and it works great and doesn't seem to break me out. It absorbs into my skin quickly and doesn't feel sticky or greasy, and its super moisturizing. I just finished my...
