DAY 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Face still pumping oil like crazy. This will change though, so knock yourself out acne, work away. You're impressing no one and making a fool of yourself. 5 new spots on face, and...

Whoa, those last few posts were quite an emotional rollercoaster of a read for me! Thanks so much to Katie and Ciara for sharing. I have had many issues with dysmorphia and I had/have an awesome eatin...

Hiya Ciara, Your log has made me laugh! I guess you must be super excited to be on the Roaccutane! I've been on it now for 4 weeks and am in the UK, and I think i've noticed a difference in my skin. ...

When I went off the pill the first thing that came back was the oiliness, even before the acne. I was going through a whole pack of those blotting papers a day. So at least now I'm saving trees with m...

DAY 1: EVENING Ok so my lips are saturated in Carmex. They were very dry before starting Accutane because it is sooooo windy and freezing here and I am paranoid. The last time on Accutane I forgot to...

  Hey yunchang. I'd say my acne is mild to moderate. The oil is beyond crazy. I can get 15 mins out of my makeup before I'm a greasy mess it's gross. This will be my second time on accutane. La...

Aw Kim, stay strong. You are so brave and amazing. It's hell I know. You are going to be clear and you will get your life back. Massive virtual hug from me

Hey yunchang! Yeah the NHS is diabolic. The only positive I guess is that it's free of charge. In reality the patient is on a waiting list for forever and a day and a half, then gets refused Accutane....

yeah, I went private. I had never heard of low dosage before this. I got tired of begging on the NHS. Regarding dosage and duration, to be honest I have absolutely no idea. I didn't think to ask becau...

Yunchang! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this blog. I have just read it from start to finish. I saw a dermatologist privately yesterday after being refused Accutane on the NHS (UK). The priv...
