Well if it makes you feel any better my Dr said it should only effect your periods for the first 3 months, she told me I could get it taken out the same day if it made my periods worse. I've had one p...

While I havent been in exactly your position, my doctor told me that all hormone IUDs (IUSs) are progesterone based, thats linked to androgens and can indeed cause acne. I would definitely have though...

oh yes and on another note. My face was no better after i did the stupid laser and actually a bit worse and then a year later it hit me REAL hard. all of a sudden i looked HORRIBLE. My whole forehead...

Good luck on your course! It sounds like you are stocked up and ready to start with a positive attitude

Haha that made me laugh about the pregnancy test. They did mine in my first blood test...while I was on my period, and the Dr was like 'so congratulations you arent pregnant' and I was like 'oh really...

Out of interest, since you said your make up is quite moisturing, what are you using? I used to use the clinique anti blemish and obviously had to change, so now I'm using a mix of old foundations I f...

Good luck with your course! I've also just started accutane (well a week ago-ish) and am in the UK! I was also surprised how quickly my derm prescribed it given the battle I had with my GP over the r...

Ooo, not much makeup at drama school? Yeh that would terrify me at first!   I know my derm really wasn't bothered about prescribing it (and my skin had got better too! Maybe when it gets really b...

Congrats on making it through the NHS minefield of hoops to jump through!   I can't give you any advice as I just started Roaccutane myself, but it does mean that when you start I will only be a ...

You don't need curly hair to get ingrown hairs, basically when you shave you tug on the hair slightly, pull it out a bit, cut it and then when it goes back down it has been cut below the skin line and...

Ever noticed that kids say stuff like this though but then dont treat you any different? Where as adults can be just as bad except they treat you different and stare. They just dont realise it'll ups...

Unfortunately not, in the end I decided to take accutane, which I started yesterday (takes forever in the UK on our NHS). I have limited options with things like birth control however as I can no long...

While I can't really add much to this, are the doctors seeing your daughter aware that this was probably caused my accutane? I'm like 90% sure in the info sheets my Derm gave me it said that no one u...

I think it might be worth keeping a good note of what your skin does now you are off it. I was on a combined pill for the same kind of time/ages as you and then when I came off it my skin got a lot be...

I used to get constant nosebleeds as a kid and teenager (I was -that- kid) and if you use a q-tip to swish some Vaseline up your nostrils it really helps to keep them at bay! It feels a bit weird but ...

Haha, love this topic Aren't they proper awkward to sit through as well! And everyones like 'you should just use that, that'd fix your skin' and I'm there like ' Dude you have no idea what you are tal...

Just wanted to say guys it's so good to hear a group of girls talking about accutane! So often the logs are from boys and just dont cover it the same way.   Love the way it is written too rachel...

Always great to see UK users! Gives hope to the slow grinding NHS system. Good luck! I hope it goes well for you

I'm afraid I can't answer your question from experience, but I would say no. Things like Nair are basically an acidic substance that dissolves the hair...and when I do my upper lip and forget about it...

They really don't look that bad to me. I have some scarring but since I still have active acne i'm just letting them be for now, count yourself lucky your not still dealing with that! How long ago d...
