JDW

It'll take time to work but as slow as it feels now (progress and the course itself) you'll be looking back in a few months and commenting at how fast the time went, I think it's due to how we obsess ...

Stayed on bactrim for my first visit to the derm and even asked if I could stay on it for the first month of my tane course to help combat the initial breakout, derm said it was fine but I think that ...

How did you end up JDW? I'm about to start accutane and going to miss out on the whole Aus summer in the sun. Shattering. Worth it though for clear skin!!! Blah wrote you a reply but accidently dele...

Week12ish, Round 2 1st checkup with derm today for my 2nd course Had been on 30mg for a month but went back down to 20mg to stretch pills before this appointment Talked to derm and we decided to stay...

Week 5, round 2 Doing these in short form from now on: 1 month on 20mg Minimal side effects Likely intial outbreak as I broke out constantly Redface status:minimal Upped to 30mg (20/40) as of last fr...

2 months after finishing my first course I started my second So to keep it in short form: Finished my course around the 20/8 Cumulative dose of atleast 150mg/kg Was about 95% clear when i stopped De...

Does the aveeno redness relief help much? Also, I've heard of quite a few people that don't get 100% clear till after their course of accutane so try not to get discouraged! Hard to be objective bec...

Month 3-8 Summary Dosage: From 40mg - 70mg a day, 60mg/80mg daily alternating. Weight: 79kg, did hit 80kg for a couple of months but back down to 79kg as of now. Cumulative dosage: 12000, at least 150...

So I haven't updated in ages, had the best intentions to keep track but in the end I really had nothing to write about. Firstly I'm going to talk about my redness, its pretty much the only side effec...

Your face definitely looks alot less red. About a couple of your side effects, I've gotten similar rashes on my hands/arms but as long as I moisturize before bed they go away, I'm using Redwin sorbele...

Pretty late with this, I'm in week 11 or so... Month 2 Summary Dosage: 40mg, 20mg twice a day. Weight: 77.5kg, up a couple kilos since starting but trying to gain weight. Cumulative dosage: 9600, at ...

The research on accutane says that a minimum of 120mg/kg is best for complete remission, everybody if different though. You have to weigh your immune system concerns with the possibility of your acne ...

Week 7: So not much happened during week 6 so I skipped it, the most exciting thing was that I accidentally used AHA instead of moisturizer, had to wash if off and was worried that it would make my s...

Oh and before I forget- Do you guys know if the times that you take your pills matter? I take mine with breakfast and dinner, but sometimes my schedule puts those really close together. Could that be ...

Ah ok, thanks. Ill start using Vaseline from tonight. Yup, take forever to fade! A pain isnt it!? Often left with scarring-a red/purple colour. How long have you been on Roaccutane for (or have you fi...

I'd personally give up alot more than alcohol for a few months for clear skin. Some other stuff possibly more helpful: Some, including myself, take accutane with a 'fatty meal to help absorption', t...

I had a blood nose in the second week, maybe third cant remember, was a pretty small one but definitely due to the dryness, I'm do get a few each summer though. Since then I've been putting vaseline o...

Over 6 weeks in, no issue with my contacts. I bought eye drops before I started preemptively as I expected to have dry eyes but haven't had to use them yet. That being said I'm only on a low dose, 40m...

I think its good that your doctor is keeping an eye on things, accutane is a serious drug. If anything I wish my derm demanded more blood tests, had the initial blood test but didn't have one on my on...

Weight: 75 kg (165 lbs) Month 1: 40mg/day Projected duration of treatment: 8 months Type of acne: Mild Location of acne: Jawline/Cheeks, Previously Forehead, temples. Age: 20's I actually ask...

Week 5: So I've been slack, havnt done my week 5 update and also wanted to do a 'one month summary' entry aswell, maybe I'll do that another day. Not much change which I perceive as good. Redness...

Week 4: Another week on 40mg and no major changes, the ones that have occurred are slightly my own fault. So a goal of mine for my skin right now, seeing as I'm not worrying about acne and letting...

You could try vaseline in the nose to help with the blood noses, read about other people doing it and I'm doing it as a precaution cause I'm prone to them in the summer heat (Summer in Aus). Feels a l...

Hey, you mentioned that you had redness as a side effect earlier, does that mean that's gone away as well?

I'm personally using lucas's paw paw ointment for my lips and it keeps dryness under control but I'm only on 40mg. Alot of people recommened Aquafor so look for that aswell. Good luck
