Week 6 and a 1/2 (late by 2 days) Dosage: 20mg - daily Acne: Mild - That nodule has disappeared, a true testament to the power of accutane. Nothing noteworthy, my skin is oh so smooth and now I can ...

Week 5 Dosage: 20mg - daily Acne: Mildly Moderate - So a nodule came up where your jaw meats your ear. -_-" Just as I was free! It isn't noticeable anyway, haha. A few smaller breakouts on my upper ...

I've read that accutane can make scars worse or sometimes better. But, maybe, once you're off accutane and your skin starts healing properly, the scars will improve. And yeah, I think preventing break...

Some people are lucky and see a lot of improvement in just one month. I guess you're one of the lucky ones! *knock on wood* Is the scarring from before or after accutane? I'd say it would be a mix...

Week 4 Dosage: 20mg - daily Acne: Mildly Moderate - ZERO nodules! 2-3 cysts under the skin. And a few scattered, mostly unnoticeable, pustular breakouts. Left with mild pitted scarring and moderate ...

Week 3 Dosage: 20mg - daily Acne: Moderate - I honestly don't think my 'active' acne can be classed as moderately-severe any more. I'M STOKED! I have one nodule which is pretty much flat, and only 1...

Week 2 Dosage: 20mg - daily Acne: Moderately severe - The long nodule that I've had on my right cheek for a few months has flattened and is pretty much gone! And that newer nodule on my cheekbone we...

Hey man! Congrats on starting accutane! I'm also currently taking it and am on day 48! Good luck with your journey and I will be following your log! Waddup! Yeah man, feels good to be on it - mental...

Week 1 Dosage: 20mg - daily Acne: Moderately severe - 2 new cysts since I started, one MASSIVE bulge on my right cheekbone Side effects: - Slightly dry lips and skin - no cracking! Back aches? I d...

Just chiming in here. I'm a chick too and my acne doesn't care about my hormones. I've tried all the rx's and many different birth control pills and such (Yasmin, Yaz, Diane 35, Alesse, Tricyclin), to...

This could be the hardest decision ive ever had to make in my life. I feel you bro/sis. It could also be the best decision you've ever had to make. Just weigh it up.

Yay! You made a log. I hate cystic acne, I feel for you. I hope accutane works for you. Good luck! Oh and since I'm planning on taking accutane too, I have some questions that I was going to save for...

update your progress....and GOOD LUCK!!! I will, thank you!

The plunge has been taken, the Accutane on deck. My story so far. Acne hasn't been a lingering issue for me for most of my short life, until 7 months ago when I broke out heavily on my chin. They wer...

Yeah, I've been looking at a few accutane logs. And by the looks of some of the pictures, some people had almost clear skin to begin with. No cysts or nodules, just tiny little papules. I've been thin...

They hand out accutane like candy these days, I was able to get it just for very mild acne and oily skin on the second visit. If you really want accutane, just give some sob story and you'll get it. ...

Yikes! I remember reading that acne in males tend to be less persistent than in females, but tends to be more severe. It could be because of hormonal changes, everyone develops a little differently. I...

Oh wow. I've been off/on minocycline for years, plus I tried doxycycline as well. Maybe my derm will prescribe me accutane because my acne is so persistent. BP keeps most of my acne at bay, but it's n...

Yeah, you should. I'll let you know if you start going crazy. But, I'm one to talk. I'm horrible at keeping up with logs. I just made an appointment to see the derm next week. Was it difficult to get ...

Haha! Catchy. Yeah, if I do decide to go ahead and do accutane, I'm going to ask the derm what he/she thinks about dosage. I know that if I feel bad during accutane, I can just stop. Are you planning ...

High-risk, high-reward. Everyone's body responds differently. For some, it was a miracle drug with very minimal side effects, but others, it was a nightmare, with every long-lasting side effect and it...

I am in the same boat as you. I'm thinking of trying accutane too. I've been trying to avoid it by trying different diets, BP, natural products, supplements, antibiotics, a variety of topicals, and so...

I hope it's the cause as I will gladly stop for good if it is. I noticed that I can have perfectly clear skin sometimes, but then I'll just randomly get a huge breakout on my chin and mouth. I didn't ...
