I can't trust any moisturiser apart from the cetaphil range. I was using this before accutane and knew it didn't break me out so I stuck with it. oh as for when you're home, I don't put any moisturise...

I get abdominal pain that last for ages after I play sports. I thought it was the accutane but it was just silly me not eating before hand. I'm a skinny person. I make sure that I eat heaps before I d...

You're still in the early days so keep being optimistic! Just to share my journey (almost one month) my lips are so dry that they are bleeding. I've been applying papaw cream on it and annoyed I forgo...

What else have you done differently recently? Eaten certain food, has life been more stressful or have you started exercising? 1 month of no breakouts sounds like it was something else that triggered ...

That is a tough question. I was anti accutane thinking I will grow out it since I was 15. I'm now 31. I'm close to 30 days on accutane and I've seen improvements. Wish I started it sooner is all I can...

Should best as for professional opinion really with that kind of question. But if you're after an internet response then I would say 2 days of accutane would of done next to nothing regarding your gr...

I've been eliminating food types for close to 5 years now. One thing I've learnt is you need much much much longer than two weeks. I'm not sure if that's because the damage as been done and it becomes...

Dan's AHA product from acne.org is pretty good for dark marks. You should try applying that

I don't see a reason why not. Go for it. But remember to test it on small area of ur face first for 2-3 days before u actually apply it all over. Also are you going to do it straight? Make sure it doe...

Hey mate. I went through exactly what you went through. I'm a hypercondriac when it comes to these things and like you, I threw mine away 1 year ago (but not in the bin and in my draws) Fast forward 2...

there is also a fair few people out there that only see results after month 6 towards the end of the course. You could be one of those people?

I've read some peoples face returns back to their oily self like pre accutane but minus the break out. So I wouldn't worry so much. Accutane is supposed to last a further 3 - 6 months after you finish...

Some people experience a purging phase which people refer to as an initial breakout so mentally prepare yourself for that. It could get really bad before you see any good. Milestones people seem to no...

Definitely would not rule out the coconut oil. I know certain oils break me out so maybe cut that out as well

I wouldn't hide the bipolar info from your derm. It's better to keep them in the loop. If they reject you for the accutane go find another. Your skin in that state is perfect btw. You're absolutely go...

irregular sleeping pattern can cause acne breakouts. I will definitely try to get 6 - 8 hours of sleep on a regular basis and see if it gets better again.

Have u tried apple cider vinegar to fade the red marks? I'm currently on accutane and noticed that when I apply ACV to actives it reduces the inflammation a fair bit. My red marks are fading but that ...

This might be an informative read for you

wow. so u started breaking out 2 days after finishing ur course? Might want to try the holistic and diet approach and find out what your triggers are.

have u spoken to ur derm about that life time plan? I don't think any derm will approve accutane as a lifetime prescription. Short term wise, I'm on 20mg for probably 6 months and I agree it seems to...

I would pop the whitehead with a pin then squeeze it out. I would then apply some apple cider vinegar to reduce the redness.

a 15 day course? From what I've read you're supposed to be on it for 3 - 6 months at least. I'm on a 3 month course subject to change when I go visit my dermo at the end of it. 20mg is a very low dose...

I agree with Snarkygirl it's not for the lighthearted. Accutane is definitely something as a last resort. Having said that I'm currently on Accutane week 3 and mentality wise it's been the best thing ...
