Yikes - I'm so sorry to hear about the really awfully time breakout. Maybe try putting some hydrocortisone cream to calm down the redness. Whenever I have a bad breakout, if I put anything remotely me...

Accutane isn't a cure all for everyone. Many people have to go through 2 or more rounds of treatment before it works. For many people, they've gone from cystic acne to OTC treatable acne which is a hu...

I haven't started Accutane so I might be completely wrong about this - but isn't redness a common side effect of Accutane and you'll just have to wait for it to fade? From what I understand, Accutane ...

If it is affecting different aspects of your life - yes, go see a derm. It is a real problem for you and you shouldn't be concerned about whether it's not severe or "as bad as" someone else's.

Thanks for the reply  I guess I'm just a little cynical after the last two doctors dismissed with prescriptions for topicals that I told them didn't work me. With my old derm, I've tried R...

Hey all  I'm finally scheduled to see a dermatologist next week, but I wanted to get a better grasp on whether I would/wouldn't be a good candidate for Accutane before I go (an...

Anyone ?

If I were you, I'd listen to your dermatologist and stay on Accutane. I read somewhere that you should stay on Accutane until you're acne free for 2 continuous months and that a higher total dosage (s...

Hey guys, I made an appointment to see a derm next week and I'd really appreciate it if you guys can tell me your thoughts on my acne so that I don't go in there, exaggerate things, and make a fool ou...
