Derm appointment in 2 days. Will then be off the tane I believe. About 12 and a half months in total and will be a cumulative dose of 7980. My weight has fluctated throughout the course but if I avera...

Have you tried BP or anything else yet? It's working well for me, but I know it can be irritating. I just use a tiny bit in my moisturizer and that helps my skin not get irritated. Tazorac is supposed...

Almost 6 months post tane and still doing great. I am still using 2.5 % BP twice a day - a pea sized amount mixed into my moisturizer morning and night. I don't use any other acne products, just wash ...

Just got back from my brother's wedding in one of the hottest, most humid countries in the world. Holy crap, there was no hope of keeping my makeup on. BUT - although it was certainly easier not being...

12 and a half months done. Tapering at 20mg/day for past 2 weeks. Skin about the same. 2 - 5 jawline zits/week Ocassional cheek blemish. Forehead non-inflamed stuff. Pretty shattered and disappointe...

How's your skin going now Kim, still well I hope? Are you still on the same BP regimen? Are you back on some sort of hormonal treatment too? I'm winding down my course so am starting to think about po...

8 days shy of being on accutane for 12 months. Skin is about the same as it's been for the last 6 months really. Forehead continues to get small non-inflamed stuff regularly. Cheeks remain clear for t...

Are you using both sa and bp twice daily? How much bp u using?

Tapering down to 20mg/day for the next 2 months till my next derm appointment. Had 3 or 4 inflammatory lesions pop up on my lower right jaw. Left jawline is clear. Right cheek clear, left cheek one le...

Editing this post had a bit of a meltdown. Saw my derm this morning, he's actually going to taper me off Accutane as he reckons I have remission. Tapering down to 20mg/day for the next 2 months. He r...

Hi sash good luck on the course. I'm almost finished mine now and still breaking out.   Curious does your derm think you can get remission even though its your fourth course. Are u going to be ...

Another day another zit. Same old same old. No big inflammatory zits but still papules and small inflammatory zits particularly along my jawline.   My last ounce of optimism and resolve is now g...

Hi GetMeTheResults This is a good thread for low dose Accutane. Wow Jj, I was thinking of doing a low dose of Accutane as well at first, because I was scared of the medicine, but with time I got ...

Hi, Thanks for the info and the support. Can I ask what dose of Accutane you are on? Are you taking a course or is it a continuous maintenance dose? I got another derm appointment in 2 weeks. JJ, ...

Good luck! Have you ruled out doing accutane again?

10 months of taking accutane today. I've been breaking out the last few days with small inflammatory stuff on the lower half of my face.   It's pretty much been the same story throughout my who...

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you're going well. I hope it continues that way

Feeling pretty shit and defeated today. Got a big, deep Zit near my right sideburns. It hasn't got all inflamed yet but it's big and I can't see it healing without getting inflamed.   Almost 10 ...

You'll get there it can take some time though. You are on a nice high dose. It'll work. It's hard waiting and wondering though.

Hey thanks Kim. That outbreak has all pretty much healed up now. Nearly 10 months down now. I'm still getting active breakouts on my jawline and around my mouth. Most days I have at least 1 new zit. T...

Hey you're not a failure! It's not your fault you have acne! Try to look forward to your accutane course. Do you know what dosage you are going to be doing. What doses were you on for your previous co...

Stay positive you'll get there! It just takes time and patience which is hard.

Awesome improvement! Did you stay on 30mg for the last few months?

Good luck with the blood test. Is your derm confident that spiro or Accutane will clear you up?

Well after being pretty content with my skin for the last month or so, I have had a nasty reality check today. Just shaved for the first time in 6 days revealing my jawline is badly broken out the ri...
