My derm told me that drinking a few drinks was totally fine. He said you'll do more damage to your liver taking ibuprofen everyday than you will drinking. He said to just try and stick to wine and lig...

Day 30 - Skin is doing ok, I will recap. I am back up to 40mg a day. One thing I changed is, I started taking my pill at night instead of in the morning. I like this a whole lot more than taking the p...

It's a prescription because the sodium sulfactimide is a topical antibiotic. It's pretty mild. I would read the seborrheic dermatitis thread on this forum for some good advice about dermatitis.

The fact that it goes away after 30 min makes it sound like bad acid reflux from the medication. This can make your chest sore the rest of the day. Make sure you are taking your pills with a large fat...

You will more than likely experience side effects. Almost everyone does get dry skin and dry lips. As far as the horror stories, you've heard them, and seen them on forums. I like to put it this way, ...

It's a face wash, used for acne, seborrheic dermatitis and Rosacea. It can be drying, but I never experienced this. It's a pretty mild cleanser. I think you are supposed to wash your face and leave it...

Day 29 - Ok I will use this day to go over how my Derm appointment went. With Kaiser you don't have to see the actual dermatologist to refill your prescription. They have an acne clinic where all the ...

Ok, I just got back form the dermatologist and he recommended something called "Scalpicin" for itchy scalp while on accutane. Its over the counter. He said its the best thing. I hope this helps.

Day 28 - Have my doctors appointment this morning in an hour. I will update with what they say. I had 2 very small spots come up last night, they were not there when I went to bed and they were alread...

I'm in the same boat with the dry itchy scalp. Mine also is having pretty bad dandruff. I have been using head and shoulders shampoo conditioner mix with has helped a little, but I think I need to do ...

If it bothers you that much, you should really reconsider accutane. Millions of people take accutane every day, only a very very small percentage of people experience bad (hair loss, depression, stoma...

Welcome to the journey! The biggest advice I can give you is to stay optimistic. Accutane will test you emotionally and sometime might make you wish you never started taking it. But with patience you ...

You're right, for some reason I thought it was a steroid that had anti fungal properties. But none the less a lot of people become immune to its effects. My derm told me that he uses the sulfur and ...

Day 27 - I got my blood test results and all the numbers are actually better than before I was on Accutane, so I think it's safe to say the doctor doesn't have any concerns. I have my appointment tomo...

I did ask him about the moisturizer and he said it wasn't medically accepted. I still use the cerave pm though. Just because I think I get less flaky with it. I have been doing a very labor intensive ...

I flared on day 9-12, I have a whole log with every day posted. I learned about the cerave from Busby as well. Its all theory tho. The stuff ive read on that site is not accepted in the medical field....

I dont see why it would matter what brand you take. You arent doing anything wrong. Some people just handle the drug differently. me personally, I never got an initial breakout, and my skin got crazy ...

looks like accutane is just doing what it does, makes all the stuff come tot he surface. The red bumpy skin is really common.

This is exactly what my Seborrheic Dermatitis looks like. It gets itchy and flaky and really rough. I used Hydrocortisone and it went away overnight, but its a lifelong condition. It could also be an ...

looks like dermatitis to me, im not a doctor, but tretinoin makes dermatitis worse. You have flaky skin, which is really common for dermatitis. Or possibly rosacea. I would go see a derm about it.

I cant imagine that 5 days of taking accutane would do anything. I think the drug is out of your system in 10 days. Call your derm and ask them, nobody on this site is qualified to answer that questio...

If youre taking it after dinner I think you should be ok. By fatty meal, they suggest that it should be taken with at least 20 grams of fat in your meal. I have not taken Absorica but i heard it works...
