My initial breakout wasn't severe, but if yours is going from mild to severe, you should go to your doctor asap. Could be a reaction.

My skin never flaked on a high dose of accutane! It itched before I got my moisturizing routine down, but I never had to switch away from my pur minerals foundation! Get a good moisturizer and start r...

Great! Thanks guys! My bp and aha is on the way! I'm planning on doing the regimen with a smaller amount of bp, maybe just on my cheeks for now and amping up as needed. Can't wait!

Hi Everyone, I finished Accutane about a month ago, and I already have a big pimple on my cheek. I've learned a lot while on Accutane. I'm being very gentle with my skin, barely touching while I was...

I'm currently halfway through my third month. 40mg for month one and 60mg after that. I should be going up to 80mg next month.   My skin has been very clear since the beginning of month 3. I got...

Thanks so much for responding! I think the best idea of what to do is to look at the end product, think about the month you end (January?) and just keep pushing for that goal.   I think I'l...

I don't see much improvement, honestly. But, you're only at month three. Some people don't clear up until month five, or later. Give it time.

I've heard that low potassium can cause muscle spasms. I think that's the same thing as a twitch. It's probably just a coincidence with the Accutane. I've had a twitchy lip for days. It's annoying...

Hi guys,   I'm 28 and I'm on week 6 of Accutane. I found that my first bout of PMS on Accutane was really severe. I was more sad and tired than usual, but the summer's coming to an end, and I'...

August 26,2015 (Day 30): My face is SO dry. It's so ridiculous. The right side of my mouth, where my lips connect is a bloody mess. The skin was so dry that even after using amlactin, the skin cracked...

Every time I think I'm staring to clear, I wake up with a new sore cyst. Over the last week I haven't been able to pop a single one. I just hurt myself. I'm pretty frustrated, but I'm sticking with it...

I'm only just over a month in. For lots of people their oil production does reduce permanently, but for most people the oil seems to return. Acne doesn't always return with the oil.

Hello, I have been struggling the past year with increasingly oily skin and terrible acne. I'm 18, and my dermatologist told me my body is done developing and now I'm moving into the "adult acne" sta...

A third of people need a second course, unfortunately.

Hi mbonna,   I'm glad that you are having success with Accutane! I just started my second month and moved up from 40mg to 60mg. The thing with Accutane, is that after it's all said and done,...

Hi,   Thanks for your reply!   Ah really?! I take mine in the evening as I was told to take them with the biggest meal of the day... Maybe I will try taking them in the morning for a week ...

I've been on Accutane for almost a month and I haven't noticed that. I watched a YouTube Accutane video log where the woman says she began experiencing fatigue when she switched from taking her pill i...

The mind is a mysterious thing. You might be experiencing the placebo effect. If you have had mental health issues in the past, and you are on a drug that supposedly has mental health issues as a si...

My derm gave me cetaphil cream but told me to only use it if desperate. Basically she said to let everything be dry - so i only moisturize around my mouth where it gets really flakey, and let my cheek...

10mg is a low dose! I wouldn't expect you to clear for at least a few months! Everyone's different. Ask your dem.

  I think Accutane's 95% success rate is based on a kg:mg ratio. So if you're on less, you're going to have a lesser chance of success. We're exactly the same weight. I'm on 40mg the first mont...

Sunscreen has been enough for me too. I'm at 3 weeks on 40mg.

It's time to see a doctor.

I found pinpointing food to be far too difficult for me, knowing there are other things in play. Your hormones, skincare products, skin touching etc.. plus a lot of things we know nothing about, could...
