I can't speak to SA (salyic acid), since even being in the same aisle of it breaks me out. I can say that BP does help my body acne, though it's slower to be helped than my face. When I have the abili...

It might be from the Predisone. That's a steroid, right? Accutane, as far as I know, doesn't have that as a side effect.

Definitely leave off the BP while the tattoo is freshly healing. And know that tats can flake for months afterwards, so you might have to be really sparing with it until it is 100% healed. I'm thinkin...

Stress can aggravate a skin condition - I don't know if it would *cause* one, per say. It sounds like you're in great health otherwise, which is fantastic! It is possible that the anti-biotics did som...

This is an interesting idea. I dig it.

sorry but the last sentence is the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen. it also depends on what you perceive to be attractive or not attractive. and besides all that i think that your ability to perfo...

I don't know if this will help (Michelle has really good advice), but I absolutely adore Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Resurfacing 3-Way Cleanser. (Holy crap that's a long name.) I don't thi...

As far as I know, Michelle is right.

If you are avoiding using the BP on your nose, I can't imagine it would hurt to use the strips - as long as they haven't proven to irritate your skin before. Some people have found it way too rough in...

Alcohol dehydrates you - it's possible that it temporarily dried out skin and reduced oil production. Wouldn't recommend it for a long-term solution, though.

Fatigue has been a reported side effect of Accutane, yes.

I would classify this as severe. Lots of members have had good luck with prescription topicals, but as I've only used OTC topicals, I can't give you good advice. But there are lots of people here who ...

I actually didn't like Cetaphil - I don't know if it was too gentle or else not gentle enough - but it broke me out. If you are able to find something that works better, definitely keep with it!

I find the following quote inspiring: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society" (Jiddu Krishnamurti)   That is absolutely, positively, one of the most gorge...

I'm sure members will! While we do have lots and lots of registered users coming by every thread every day, a lot of our traffic starts out from unregistered guests browsing the site. Give it some tim...

I do not have children, but I am 31. Being an adult sufferer carries with it such an incredibly hard stigma. Acne is seen as a young person's problem, and so to be an adult with it - everyone wants to...

Members can't move posts on their own - mods have to do that. If you click the "report" button on the first post of your thread, you can explain that you'd like it moved in the message box before you ...

Fuck. Yeah. Absolutely, Fade!!!!

I am not a conspiracy theorist. I doubt the scale that "faking" so much Accutane coverage would require would be possible. Lots of people owe their clear skin - and other treated ailments even outside...

Unfortunately, I don't know a single thing about treating scars. I would say you have at least moderate scarring, though.

It is fantastic when you meet a professional who is willing to work with you. Like, actually work WITH you. That can make all the difference in our hopes in struggling with acne. We have a prescriptio...

With that in mind I have just scoffed a typical English meal of fish and chips.   Jealous! That sounds soooo tasty.

There are some good online pharmacies I just don't have any resources towards them. If you ask this question in the Accutane forum, they will be able to help you out more. Here's the Accutane forum...

I hate it when I forget something, especially if I'm using it to cover something I'm feeling self-conscience. Makes me feel like shirking allllll day. Hope the day improves.

Rock on and keep us updated!
