Hi yunchang, First of thanks for posting your log - very informative and helpful for other people trying the low dose Accutane route. I have been taking 60mg week of Accutane (3*20 tablets/week) for ...

Hey, Been taking low dose Accutane since October 28th so this is day 51 for me. Log is for others to benefit as much as tracking my own progress as there is not as much info about low dose Accutane l...

Sorry for the slow reply. I've been off doing other stuff. It's been almost 3 months since I started taking 10mg/day. Unfortunately, I'm still kinda oily, so I haven't been able to taper off the acc...

Hey, Just letting you know that I am following this blog with interest as I am also about 30 days into low dose Accutane (3 x 20mg pills) a week.

Accutane is an extremely, extremely effective drug for acne. It will amost certainly clear your acne up but it may take some time. It can also possibly put your acne into remission which no other drug...

Hey, I did two 'regular' courses, one when i was 19 and one at 20. I am now 32 and as neither resulted in any long-term remission I figured this time I would try a low maintenance dose. So far at day...

Hi 1moretime, Having just started on low dose accutane (20mg, 3 times a week) I am interested to read your log. How long are you planning to take accutane for and are you going to taper your dose at ...

Any update on how you are going?

Any update?

Is hyperpigmentation permanent? No it's not. Can take months to fade though.

Yeah I got oily skin. You are still young they saw you should grow out of acne by 25 so you could easily grow out of it in the next couple of years even if accutane doesn't give you remission. I'm 32 ...

Nice improvement, good luck with the rest of your course. Does your derm think this second course will give you a good chance of permanent remission? If not are you likely to try Accutane for a third ...

Hey, I've been on epiduo for almost 5 months after being on the acne.org regimen for years. In my case the regimen (lots of BP) works better than epiduo. My skin has gotten a little bit worse on epid...

I had otoplasty surgery after having taken 2 courses of Accutane. I am not 100% sure how long after my second course I had the surgery. Maybe a year. It all went fine, healed up properly, no problems ...

Hey biggs881, Thanks for the reply. I am male so hormonal treatments are not an option. So do you think a 3rd round is worth it or am I likely to just relapse again? My derm that prescribed my 2 cour...

I suspect there may be no definitive answer to this, but I am interested in people's opinions or if anyone has had similar experience. I did a course of Accutane when I was 18 and another when I was ...

Hey Flagg, are you still clear on BP once a day?

Hey Rosalie, Having BDD related to my acne and mild acne scarring I can relate. I not only worry about whether medications can trigger my acne, but also diet, sweating etc. - not a nice way to live w...

Day 100 - 8th August Skin is about the same. I am getting the occasional pimple, they are taking a long time to heal up and I can't tell if they are scarring or not. Saw my derm last week, he was hap...

Day 80 - 19th July Pimple on right cheek slightly bigger. The one on my upper cheek fell out. Left side still have the two slightly inflamed spots - one on upper cheek, one below it near beardline. H...

Day 79 - 18th July The two inflamed pimples above my left moustache are both pretty flat and red marks now - not sure if they will heal without scarring. I have a couple of small, slightly inflamed t...

Day 43 - Clogged pore that has been dormant above my lip on left side is becoming a pimple. Another new pimple coming up in right cheek. Nothing else much has changed. Not feeling overly positive that...

Starting this log a little late - I am on day 41. My dermatologist prescribed regimen is epiduo at night, clindamycin cream in the morning and 50mg zinc daily. My acne background is started getting ac...

Maybe go for another accutane round? I'm not sure if a derm would prescribe it for me. I have a bad history of depression and there's bad raps with Accutane and depression. Didn't have any depressio...
