I thought I would come back after a year to say the topicals completely got rid of my acne, and now I get a few tiny pimples but mostly clear skin. I know it feels absolutely hopeless when accutane do...

Ludo, I have to say I agree with you. I'm in the same boat. Tons of prescriptions, two rounds of accutane, and I'm 29.... I have stared to slowly accept this is going to be my life. It's pretty mild, ...

I feel like I might be the exact opposite. As soon as I didn't need the hypothyroid medication and was taken off of it, my acne got worse. I really believe everyone is different, and anytime hormones ...

Just wanted to come back and say the second round didn't work either. Here I am, 6 months later, just like the first round, broke out. So now I guess I'm going to start trying topicals and hope for th...

Have you been to a dermatologist where they've actually taken a sample of it and looked at what it under the microscope? I just wonder if maybe you have a fungal infection or even bacterial infection ...

I love CeraVe moisturizing cream, make sure it's the cream and not just the lotion.... the lotion is super watery. It's thick so you only need a little and will not clog pores. I usually slather a ton...

I've actually been done with this course for about 3 months and have had some tiny pimples here and there but for the most part my skin has been clear. I will say, I have developed a small rash on the...

100% I can relate. I didn't leave my house except to go to work for almost 5 months straight... my husband went and did all the shopping because I couldn't leave the house. It's a prison, an emotional...

Your response made me cry 3wishes14 because it just feels good to not feel alone. It's miserable dealing with acne, of course, but then having it come back after Accutane and doing a second course AND...

Jesse, we are basically on the exact same time frame, and both upped our dose to 60 mg! It's nice to have someone to follow that is going through the same thing. Do you have to buy Dr. Dan's online? M...

Day 42   I'm feeling a bit discouraged. I think that because my first course was so quick, within a month I was clear, I am starting to feel frustrated. I shouldn't do that because each course i...

Thanks Jay! It was an incredible hassle....I thought maybe it was the doctor and nurse I was working with specifically, but it does sounds like so many people experience these same issues.   D...

Right?! It seems like it can never go smoothly. Ugh I'm so sorry you're going through a similar thing Jessa..I don't think my anxiety has ever been so high. It all worked out though and I picked up my...

Oh crap! what a nightmare..I am sooooo sorry! I agree that this entire situation is stressful enough..you did nothing wrong and now you need to follow up with people and babysit them to get your pre...

I am officially losing my mind. I had to wait an entire week for my prescription to be filled for a pre-authorization that I ended up NOT NEEDING. So now I've missed my window and am waiting for the d...

Hang in there missy! I had the exact same thing, they were up under my eyes, sides of nose, and on my nose and I NEVER get blackheads, ever. they are all completely gone now just try not to focus on...

Kim, isn't is such a nightmare. I said that exact same thing to my husband yesterday....people don't want to take Accutane and those of us that are taking it don't need this added stress to our alread...

Day 29 I'm going insane. My skin is not happy at the moment and it's breaking my heart. I will have a week where my skin is pretty clear and then WHAMO a breakout. I still have that large zit on my lo...

Day 27 Went and saw the dermatologist today for my 1 month check-up. Everything went great and the best part is she's upping my dose to 60 mg. I was on 60 mg the entire course last time so I think it...

I'm right there with you guys. Starting my second month tomorrow of my second course and am struggling with a massive painful breakout on my chin. it's nice to have some other people going through the...

Best of luck on your 4th month! I'm starting my second month tomorrow I love having all of these people going through the same things as I am, it makes this process easier!

Hey Lore91, First off, as hard as it is to believe, there are so many people on this site who really do know how you feel. At several points throughout my life I have felt as low about myself as...

Day 25 I woke up this morning with a zit the size of a marble under my lower left lip. This thing is a serious zit! I want to cry about it, but am actually laughing simply because....why not!? Why no...

Day 24 Well I'm a little off schedule but that's okay. Nothing really new to report. Dry lips and nose, but nothing too bad. Big gross ugly zit right in the middle of my left cheek (that seems to be ...

I'm reading your log I'm on day.... 24 I think so just a little ahead of you. You're experience is very similar to mine!
