Ok guys, it's been a looooong time, but I should post an update. I'm on my last couple of days worth of pills, and I'll be finished. All I can say is: what an amazing change! Watch my video upda...

Skin is doing pretty good. Almost done with my first month! Will be upping the dosage for next month. I've developed some sort of rash on my right hand. My hands have been unbelievably dry, and I th...

Day 17: Dry skin. Dry skin. Dry dry dry skin. My hands feel like sand paper, and the skin all around my mouth and nose are flaking like crazy. Lips are dry, but not too bad. Overall, I feel like all...

I would definitely consider it an initial break out. My skin seems to be settling down a bit right now, thankfully. It's drying out like crazy. All of the cystic pimples I've had over the last few day...

That sucks! Stomach flu? Cold flu? Drink tons of water!!!!

My skin is so baaaaaaaad right now, I don't even want to go to the store to buy food. I truly feel for the people who have severe cases. Must, power, through, this!

Day 12 Lips are most definitely chapped. It's annoying, but not awful. I've had a couple more "vertigo" moments. They're brief and not bad, and I'm not even sure they're from the isotretinoin, but w...

Rachel, I just read through nearly this entire thread (too much time on my hands I suppose). Your skin is so similar to mine before you took accutane. It's awesome to see how well you're doing! Do you...

Reading through your list reminds me of many of the things I've tried! Good luck on this round of isotretinoin

End of week 1! Video update: [Removed] myresults_xnow: clear 2013, yes!

I'm on day 4. Nothing drastic to report, but I did get a giant pimple near my left eye. I've got about 5 new pimples, none too big, except for the one near my eye. Maybe a slight IB? Not sure. Althoug...

Thanks for checking out my vid I've read good things about Spiro as well. I just want to point out two things: First, how excited I am to get this treatment going. I've dealt with bad skin for ov...

Hey Brownilocks I just checked out your pics, and I feel for you! I've never had it that severe, and I wish you luck with accutane! I've been taking my pills right as I eat dinner. I'd rather not fin...

jkoz i am also 26 (female) and thinking about trying accutane. I am allergic to all the cicilne drugs and my derm just put me on bactrin but everytime i take it I throw up. plus i've heard that onc...

I definitely feel the same way when meeting new people. It's as if no one I meet has any skin issues at all. I honestly don't remember the last person I met my age (mid 20's) that had skin issues at a...

I started my accutane course yesterday. My pre-accutane story sounds similar to yours. All the same antibiotics, and then lately I've been on bactrim. Bactrim worked really well, but both times I ca...

How's it going taned?

Neither of those moisturizers go on with much shine. I would say the Eucerin goes on with less shine than CeraVe, but either way it depends on how much you put on. You only need about a pea sized amou...

You got it, gointhedistance! I've had very weird thoughts about it... nearly everyone I see my age has clear, normal skin. I've had this weird idea go through my head, like "what happened, did my skin...

[Edited link out] ^^ Link to my video, pretty much covers everything I talk about here. It doesn't really do my skin justice, but you can see me. Hey all, I'm John. I've posted up here once befo...

It sounds like your initial breakout came and went very quickly, that's very cool. Might I make a suggestion to do a photo jounrnal with this as well, if you aren't already

I've tried many different SPF moisturizers, and I can say the CeraVe am moisturizer is good. I used it for quite a while. I noticed my skin was midly red while using it, though. I've since switched to...
