Day 26 - I had my blood test this morning. hoping that everything comes back normal. Last time I had my blood drawn my cholesterol was a little high. Nothing new to report, still have the big spot on ...

Day 25 - Played a golf tournament yesterday and was out in the sun from 8am to 3pm, kept the long sleeves on and I bought a big wide brim bucket hat. Applied spf 55 twice, I didn't get burnt which is ...

Day 23 - I spent all day in the sun yesterday and made sure to wear sun protection. I was still worried about getting burnt, but I was fine. The pimple on my lip is still really angry and is getting p...

Id stay on as long as you can, or as long as your derm will allow. Some people dont clear up totally until after their treatment is over. Face looks good though, the marks will go away pretty fast onc...

damn! amazing results!!

very common, take some ibuprofen. Mine lasted about a week. I think its from being dehydrated from the accutane. But im not a doctor. I get them from time to time now.

Day 22 - I took a pill last night instead of this morning to try and get my dosage up before my derm appointment. Here's a recap of my dosage. started out 40mg/day dropped to 20mg/day now I'm going to...

I think time is the only thing that helps, my red marks have been more visible while on accutane. I think it is just part of how the drug works, it irritates the skin. It will go away in time, trust m...

doesnt look like acne to me, looks like youre having an allergic reaction to something, or possibly developing rosacea folliculitis. I would for sure go see a derm.

OrangePeel, I dont know if you just take really good pictures or what. I mean this in the nicest most sincere way, but have you thought about therapy? Your skin looks totally normal, there are alot o...

day 21 - So officially 3 weeks. Unlike alot of the posts on here I will not say, "oh how the time has flown." It has been a long 3 weeks. I do have 2 actives that are coming up. One was the blackhead ...

Im not a girl, but I have read some really bad stories of women waxing on accutane, or even within 6 months of stopping accutane. Youre pretty much not going to be waxing for a year or more.

I would just start with a pill every other day for a couple of days to get it started. The medication is in your system for a long time, so missing days is not really that bad of a thing. Its not like...

Day 20 - Just looking at my face this morning, I have noticed A LOT of black heads. I never noticed that I even had blackhead before, but my t zone is full of them. Im not sure if this is the medicati...

I wouldnt use the moisturizer until you need it. My skin was actually more oily than normal for the first 2 weeks. There are also some people who never get dry skin. So hold off on the moisturizer unt...

Its classic seborrhiec dermatitis. The anti fungals like Ketoconozole should help. The only thing that helps me is hydrcortisone. Im on accutane right now. will let you know how it goes.

I totally agree with you. It will get better after a while, your body has to get its moisture back. It is a pain, I know exactly what your dealing with. If it doesn't get better in a couple more days,...

ALCOHOL - Ok so a little background of my drinking life. I would say that I am more than just a moderate drinker. I dont think I have a drinking problem because I have no problem what so ever going a...

This sounds like a clogged/irritated tear duct to me. Get a cloth wet and hot and put it over your eye, keep the cloth hot, so you'll have to continue to run it under hot water. This usually helps me....

I thought you posted already that you were almost clear and you didnt understand why your derm wanted to keep you on Accutane? Alot of people go on courses for 6 months or longer, and for some they do...

Are you ok with it getting worse before it gets better? You could go a month or so with multiple big cysts when you start out, If you are ok with that, it will help. edit- you may be one of the many ...

Day 17/19 - Nothing really crazy to report. I did have a lot of sun exposure this weekend and didn't get burnt. I was using spf 55 and have a nice wide brim bucket hat. The rashes on my arms have died...

Day 16 - Today was a good day. I did start getting a rash on the back of one of my hands today, which I remember happening the last time I was on accutane. I usually just slather some cetaphil on the ...

Hi zozzle! good luck with your second course. I would say most people on here recommend cetaphil. That's what all the derms I've used have recommended as well. Cerve is also a good one.

Your face looks awesome. I asked the same question to my derm and he was very straight forward. Heritage and what sex you are determine your pore size. Almost all men have larger pores than woman, and...
