Hey everyone I went on accutane back in June. I started off on 40mg/day for the first three months (it was only supposed to be the first two.. the nurses at my doctor's office made a mistake about how...

Day 26: Pretty sure I'm getting an IB right now.. My skin looks awful and all I want to do is not exist for this week until it's over

I'm going through this right now! I'm about three weeks into my treatment. It used to be that I'd have to wash my hair once a day at least (often twice) or else I'd end up looking like I rolled around...

I took 100mg of doxycycline for about three years. I thought it was fine, I don't really know how much it improved my acne because I was on topicals at the same time, but I don't think it hurt. My ski...

I really like Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy for chapstick! It comes in a tube and you can use it other places too! I've been putting a bit underneath my eyebrows every night before bed be...

As far as I know, you don't have to be 18 to receive accutane. I knew kids in school who had it. You also don't have to have nodular cystic acne. You should be able to get it as long as your acne is p...

I've fallen a bit behind on keeping this updated.. I work 50 hours a week so it's not entirely my fault lol I swear So today officially marks week three (day 21) of accutane for me! I only have TWO...

Day 9: I'm pretty sure my skin is gradually getting worse but it's so bad already that it's hard to tell lol. I have two new blind pimples and a bunch of new breakouts on my forehead. My lips are also...

I definitely prefer Duac. Epiduo really didn't do anything for me. I used Duac in the morning and a retinol at night from 2011 - 2013 and after the initial breakout, my skin had a remission of acne fo...

Day 7 - 8: I woke up Day 7 feeling surprisingly clear but throughout the day I ended up breaking out quite a bit. I went to the zoo and it was REALLY humid out so I suspect that might have had someth...

Day 6: Not much difference to report today! I have only one new spot and it's really not visible, just that I can feel it when I wash my face. Also, I'm not sure if it's accutane related, but my hair ...

I preferred doxycycline all around. It did a better job of clearing up my acne. Minocycline didn't really do much of anything and it stained my gums a darker color. My dentist still comments on it eve...

Whenever I was on antibiotics for acne and stopped, the acne did not return quickly. It slowly returned after about two - three months. However, it never completely cleared me either. I don't like min...

It's extremely possible that it's the new environment. I experienced the same thing. Went from a moderate climate to a tropical climate and that's when my acne became cystic  

I agree with snarkygirl, it can take up to 6 weeks to see results, so just keep it up! I've used clindamycin phosphate and minocycline (separately)before and had moderate success with each of them, bu...

I was never told that irregular periods could be a side effect of accutane. That would more likely be caused by the birth control you have to take with it. Hair loss is unfortunately a somewhat common...

Have you been back to your derm? Maybe they could pop those for you if they aren't going away on their own

Those look like regular pimples. Honestly it sounds like you didn't give the treatment enough time to work. Topicals can often take up to 6 weeks for you to begin seeing results. Patience is key! You ...

The picture is kind of grainy and pixelated so it's hard to tell, but I think over time it will disappear. In the meantime, make sure to keep the wound clean!
