Wow, Dana thank you so much for your quick and helpful response! I know if I don't I will continue to worry and stress and take antibiotics that only make it worse in the long run. Thanks again

Hello All! Okay I need some serious honesty and advice. I had severe, severe acne fall of 2013 and finally started Accutane that December. My skin cleared almost immediately and was flawless until thi...

Can I ask what brand of cod liver supplement are you taking? I Live here in the Philippines and Im afraid to buy anything if it wasn't just like what you're using right now. Thanks I am using a bra...

I just wanted to quickly comment because I am going through the exact same thing! I finished up Accutane last July and my acne, although significantly more mild has come back. I started taking cod liv...

It wasn't! I think it took 4-5 business days, which can be cutting it close with the 7 day window for prescription pick-up (especially if you have a weekend in the middle, which I did) but it was appr...

So I have to share a quick story in case anyone is reading this log and having a hard time paying for Accutane (in the US) or are worried about the cost, I have some REALLY happy news. So, my first an...

Day 70: Everything is wonderful! No issues, no side effects, no dry skin and best of all NO ACNE! I will be starting my third month supply this week and have to say things are great. I am so much happ...

This is a great question, and one I really struggled with when I first started Accutane too. I even started a forum about what face wash to use when starting Accutane because I was worried about what ...

rachelll1995 I cannot even tell you how happy it makes me to know you can follow my log and feel better just knowing someone out there has gone through a very similar experience! That is the whole rea...

Can we talk about anger? Has anyone else's fuse become...non-existent? I feel like I am becoming agitated, frustrated and fussy A LOT more within the last couple weeks. I don't want to try and use Acc...

Hey Hannah, (love your title thatonepalindrome!) First off, I am so sorry about the loss of your brother. I can't even imagine the pain, stress and heartbreak that must have been, but thank you fo...

Also going through another breakout, mostly purging blackheads again on my nose. And I think the very first zit I ever got, which was on my nose and which eventually turned into an extremely deep, co...

Well, I got some zits. I got three humongous beasts of zits on the sides of my face on my temple, and then one big ol' nasty right on my lip! They are surprisingly healing pretty fast but they were so...

Well, it sounds like things are progressing a bit, and to have NO ACTIVES! That must be a great feeling. There is a definite commonality of acne sufferers that they tend to be insecure and anxious (no...

Seriously?!? How?

Well I am finally at day 31, exactly one month into my treatment and I have only noticed a few things. I am shocked at how little acne I have had over the course of the first month. I probably got thr...

Yeah, I would give your doctor a call as soon as you can because that can be pretty scary. You are so young too, it's not worth the risk so just call your doctor and find out from them! Good luck to ...

I wish that I could be more of a pro person, but unfortunately Retin A was super tough for me to use. HOWEVER I had horrific, severe, active acne all over my face and when I applied a small amount (pe...

I agree about mixing it with a moisturizer, this totally helped me out. Also (I'm sure you're already aware, but I wasn't for the first little bit on Retin A) it is super light sensitive so try to put...

Oh man Kelsey! I am so sorry to hear about the chemical spill, dang it! You my friend have overcome some serious hurdles with this medication, just continue doing what you do and you will make it thro...

Day 21 Three Weeks Exactly!! I hate to be super boring with my log, but my experience thus far on Accutane is completely uneventful. I did experience a small breakout last week like 3-4 active zits bu...

Ugh as much as it sucks, I have decided to just leave everything completely alone, like even those lovely whiteheads that stick out like....well a gross whitehead! ha! I truly think that will help pre...

Day 16! Well I'm just over two weeks into my treatment and am starting to notice a very small breakout. I have about four tiny active pimples right now mostly on my chin, but do notice them healing re...

@LoveLouisV Thank you for the tip! I asked my derm about it and she said, "oh it's just fine to take" and "no worries, keep taking it" BUT I actually stopped the first few days mostly because I got ti...

Yay, I'm so glad I found your log! I love reading your posts, you crack me up and your title is great! I am so happy to have your journey to follow because it's been crazy weird how parallel we are wi...
