Day 110-166 So I haven't updated for more than 50 days! Mainly because I haven't had anything to add from my last post. One thing I can say though, is that I have given up the hyper pigmentation treat...

Michelle, they're more of a red colour... Day 96-109 So haven't updated this post for a long time, mainly due to the lack of activity on my face! Since last updating, I've got very few 'proper' spots...

Day 89-95 Skin definitely feeling much better at the moment, I currently have a couple, if any, active spots and am thinking about starting to treat my hyper pigmentation. I've bought tea tree oil and...

Day 83-88 Still the same story really, skin still very dry although I've noticed that my face does feel a lot smoother!

I'm around 80 days into my 6 month course of Accutane, while the spots seem to be calming down, I'm worried about the dryness of the skin. I have quite a few red marks from previous breakouts that wil...

Day 72-79 I had my 18th birthday this last week, therefore I had a few drinks, which I thought was fair enough. Anyway, I think this brought along a mini breakout, which has died out around now. Other...

Day 69-71 These last few days have been really good to me (I'd say since last Sunday - Day 67). Since I stopped using the moisturiser my face has calmed down a lot and I've barely seen any breakouts (...

milesconn - Yeah do you reckon dabbing the moisturiser just on dry patches is better than putting it all over the face too!? Also, what a coincidence, after stopping using the cetaphil moisturiser, b...

Day 61-68 This past week has been quite difficult for me. So I noticed that whilst I was still seeing improvement, that my face was extremely dry, including my parents telling me about this. So I deci...

Day 55-60 Haven't updated in a while and I've got to say that I think I'm actually seeing improvements! That last IB has finished healing and is now just red marks, while the jawline seems to have cal...

Yeah I'm sure that after 3 months at 20mg your dosage will be upped! I haven't felt too many side effects apart from mildly dry skin and lips, on 20mg and the same now that I'm on 40mg!

milesconn - Yeah I'm sure you've wondered whether your dosage is too low at only 20mg!? When's your next dermatologist appointment?

Day 52-54 Healing from that bad breakout still, went to the dermatologist this morning and my dose has been raised to 40mg/day. Both the derm and my parents keep telling me it's getting better, whethe...

Day 47-51 Had my worst breakout ever over these last few days, my face has never looked as bad! Spots popping up all over the place and I'm losing confidence all the time. Derm appointment in 3 days a...

yeah scars worry me too, I'm planning on going on for 6 months overall, so maybe by the end we will have had the same dosage?

Yeah I just checked your log xfabix - it sounds as though we are at the same stage, apart from that your face isn't really breaking out anymore! Day 44-46 While my jawline and chin continue to dry ou...

Day 41-43 Little breakout on my chin, other from that though all seems to be calming down a bit. Rather than getting whiteheads, I've been getting flat red spots that aren't inflamed a lot... Skin ver...

Day 40 Skin very dry, that is all.

Day 36-39 Breakout got a bit worse on the 36/37th days and now it's calming down a bit and starting to heal. Noticing dryness a lot now, so moisturise when possible. Keeping hopes up as I go into my 4...

Day 31-35 Days flying by now! Had a breakout on my cheek which is dying down now, definitely noticing some scarring going down a bit in terms of redness and spots are drying up very quickly still. Fac...

Exactly - good luck to both of us!

sounds like you're happy now!

How's it going now mate?

vojta3476 - that sounds good, lucky that you've moved up for your next month, I'm still only on 20mg! Jdog31- that's alright mate, personally my IB wasn't terrible, but for me I wanted to start the tr...
