That's messed up I'm sorry. > Severe dry hair & hair loss - well over 70% and continuing. No regrowth 18 mnths later > dry mouth, nose & skin Some women experience balding just lik...

I guess I figured if things really started going sideways I could always just stop taking it. And the blood tests would help me keep tabs on my health. I know that Accutane is the only thing that can ...

A lot depends on the pharmacy. If you're in the States, Costco has really cheap Accutane. If and when you get a prescription, just call all of the pharmacies in the area and ask them how much it would...

I find that applying some distilled water to my face after a shower makes my skin look ten times better. You can use a spray bottle or cotton pads. Don't exfoliate on Accutane. It messes with the way ...

If you're going to be out in the sun, just put sunscreen on the parts of your body that are or will be uncovered. If you plan on staying home all day, you don't really need sunscreen You probably won...

I hate what acne has done to me, too.... Recently it got so bad that it was all I could think about. And I hated going out. I wanted to hide from people. I just started a course of Accutane and I alr...

Exfoliating is a bad idea. Accutane messes with the way your skin heals. Aside from using a good moisturizer, you might want to get plenty of zinc and vitamin E. You can get lots of vitamin E by eatin...

If your derm says it's ok based on a recent blood test, you should be fine.

Yeah, you prob need a higher dosage. Your dosage is really low... my derm just put me on 30 mg / day and I weigh 60 kg. AFAIK that's the usual starting point - 0.5 mg x your weight / day. If the side ...

How soon did you start getting side effects, including dry skin / eyes / nose?

You know, it may not have anything to do with Accutane. It might just be a coincidence. You can get a metallic taste in your mouth from too much iron in your diet or your gums bleeding (blood usually ...

You're not supposed to use other acne treatments with Accutane, like benzoil peroxide, which I totally get because benzoil peroxide is really harsh on the skin. But what if you don't actually have to ...
