Hey man, Following your log. I tried Accutane about a year ago but threw in the towel after 3 weeks because of joint pain. Since then I have tried 2 different antibiotics, BHA, BP and even a few laser...

Curious. What is the general consensus on lower dosages? Have most of the people having trouble post tane been treated with dosages over 0.5-1mg/kg. I started a course 12 months ago but called it qui...

How long were you on Accutane for and at what dose?

No, antibiotics will not cause purging. In fact it could have helped to prevent purging while the Tretinoin was doing its thing. Only thing to watch out for on Doxy is the sun sensitivity, you will bu...

Hey, So it's been 12 Months since i tried to start a course of Accutane but threw it in 3 weeks in because of joint pain. I started on 20mg every second day and i reacted very fast to the drug. Red f...

So it's been about 9 months since i last posted. 3 x PDT treatments kept everything kind of under control but It's been a few months since the last one and the breakouts only seem to be getting worse....

Hey man, respect for hanging in there! Sounds like your having a bit of a torturous ride. This time next year it will all be a distant memory! I wish i had done it at your age but i miraculously clear...

Paulas choice 'clear' range is great. I have been on it for a few weeks and my skin is improving daily. The acne fighting products do not contain anything that blocks pores, send them an email and ...

The derm has taken me off it for the time being. He thinks it is causing me tendon problems and is especially worried at how fast it is occurring. He wants to see me in 4 weeks once everything is back...

Have had increasing pain in my knees and ankles over the last few days. Which is completely out of the norm for me. Will be stopping Accutane all together until I see the Derm next week sometime and h...

Crazy how fast you are reacting! Is it because you are also on antibiotic I wonder. I'm on day 16 of 20mg/day and I only weigh 48kg and I've still no side effects. I suppose everyone is just different...

Ok so had a 4 day break. Face is still sliiightly red and sensitive but has calmed down alot. Have been moisturising and applying sunscreen religiously. Skin has actually stayed really dry up until to...

I started on 20mg every other day and reacted super quick to it. To the point I have to actually come off it for a week n introduce it even slower. 10mg every other day or even once of twice a week i'...

So I decided to call the Derm because my skin just wasn't feeling right. He managed to get me in straight away. He is a little worried how quickly i have reacted and thinks the red skin is photo sensi...

So today my eyes are dry and bloodshot and my face has gone really red. I did have a few drinks last night so that has probably made the situation worse. It is a really horrible sunburnt type feeling....

Week 1 I can't believe how much I am feeling it already with only 20mg every other day. It blows me away that people are being put on 40mg+ per day right out the gate! It must be hell for them! Initia...

Hello I am currently two weeks in as of today. I used erythromycin two weeks before starting and for the first 10 days, but stopped because the combination was making me bloated and nauseas. I had nev...

Only 3/4 days into it and I have had 4 cysts pop up on my jaw at a strangely fast rate, whiteheads on my shoulders and some really random pimples on my thighs. My neck/jaw looks really bad, hoping thi...
