I just started accutane a few weeks ago. So far the worst side effect has been dry lips/eyes. I don't believe in using anything with chemicals, so I've been using natural oils. Shea butter and sunflow...

That's very good that your doctor found a safe plan that will work for you :] Thanks for the reassurance about the infertility, I've read some forums where women blame Accutane for their infertility w...

Hope your joint pain dissipates- I know a lot of people experience it for a bit but then it's gone after the initial months! Was your derm planning on upping you from 40 mg to 60 mg if you responded w...

Exfoliating gently with a clean washcloth like once a week might be ok. You can also use oil to remove your makeup, and wash afterwords with the cetaphil cleanser. I don't know a whole lot about oils ...

Even the name of that shampoo sounds soothing, haha! I'll definitely have to check it out! I'm hoping that my scalp normalizes and I don't have dandruff during my treatment because I know that dandruf...

Hey Lore!   I know that skin conditions take the biggest toll because that's the part of you that people can actually see, but I really just want to encourage you- You are worth so much more tha...

Hey, congrats on almost getting through your first month!!   Just wanted to see if you found anything that works well for your dry scalp! I'll be going on Accutane as soon as I go through the wh...

You need two forms of birth control, so you could definitely choose abstinence and a theoretical male condom as your two, which would prevent you from having to take birth control pills. My dermatolog...
