DAY 61   Ugh.. things have definitely plateaued if not gotten a bit worse. I'm getting so sick of this. To make matters worse my red marks seem MUCH more noticeable recently. I really hope these ...

DAY 55   Grrrr.. a few new guys popped up this morning. I'm hoping its because of a weekend of drinking and not eating as well as usual.

ps. since i've been feeling better I decided not to ask my derm to lower my dosage and see how things go. I just saw him yesterday and he said he was planning to keep me on the 60 mg for the rest of m...

DAY 54   The improvement I was seeing a week ago has stayed for the most part (YAYYY) but has definitely plateaued. I'm not really breaking out anymore at all but the dormant stuff that has been ...

DAY 47   Wow. Dramatic improvement in the past day. Redness has gone down immensely. Things have also flattened out A TON. I really hope this isn't just a fluke. It seems way too good to be true....

DAY 45   So things seem to be calming down/drying up in the last day or so. I don't want to speak too soon because this has happened before, but hopefully my body is adjusting to the higher dose ...

Yes. I started my treatment at 40, moved to 50, then 60 and every time i broke out. Don't get discouraged. I had pretty severe acne and have had a cysts on my face for like three years! It's finally s...

DAY 40   I'm so depressed. My acne has literally never been worse. It is just so inflamed! Could this be because I increased my dosage a week or two ago? I just don't understand my skin at all.. ...

I forgot to add that in the first month all of my blackheads disappeared. This could be because of reincorporating the tazorac a couple of weeks after starting accutane though. Prior to starting accut...

DAY 35   Ughhhh these last few days have been horrible! I've broken out all over my cheeks... I'm not really sure what they are.. I guess papules? They are inflamed and just below the skin but do...

Congrats on finishing your first month of Accutane. I can tell you from experience that the first month is the slowest--each subsequent month will fly by faster and faster. It won't be long, and you...

DAY 31   Unfortunately still nothing great to report. Two days ago my derm upped my dosage from 40 mg a day to 40 mg and 80 mg alternating every other day. My skin on the whole seems a a bit drie...

DAY 19   Still no changes to report. This is getting a little frustrating.. I know its early for improvement but I'd like to see SOME sign that accutane is doing something. I still haven't notice...

Thanks for the support, guys!   DAY 16   I'm not sure if this is the accutane or maybe the fact that I have been using liquid foundation (I usually only use powder) recently, but a bunch of...

HISTORY   I've had acne since I was about 12. It was persistent through my teens despite trying BP, Salicylic acid, benzaclin, retin a, minocycline and birth control pills. From about age 18-20 i...

pretty much the exact same thing has happened to me with tazorac. i was put on it about 4 months ago when i went in to the dermatologist with mild/moderate but persistent acne. unfortunately i cant bl...
