I'm on day 29, at 60mg a day, and only over the last day or so I have noticed an improvement (minus one monster on my chin). I did start doubting it myself but I guess we all have to wait. Sadly. I th...

For me, it's day 26 and I'm on 60mg each day. My skin is on par with what it was before I was taking it. Other than some dryness it it, my lips too, it's like I'm not on anything. I don't have cystic ...

He did, yeah. But he didn't mention a breakout (even though that seems to be very common judging by comments left here and elsewhere). And I spent more time talking with the nurse on his team rather t...

My dermo said improvements should be noticeable within 7-10 days and I'm not seeing it. The only thing I'm seeing are some unpleasant side effects.

I'm only 19 days in and it's like I haven't been taking anything for it. My skin and lips are dry but I'm still having breakouts as before.

I'm on 60mg a day and I have been for only 19 days but my acne is still there. I swear, when one spot goes, another two pop up! I have five big squeeze-me spots on my jaw and chin. I think my uncooper...

Hi! I posted a similar comment about three weeks ago when my appointment was coming. Here's my experience: My GP referred me at the start of January and my first appointment was July 10. It was a lo...

I found Epiduo worse than Accutane side effects! It was so strong. I had to stop using it and it dried out my skin, made it red, warm and unbelievably itchy! It did cause the spots to go - and I think...

Depending on the severity of the pain, I could take two aspirin and two paracetamol or two paracetamol and two ibuprofen twice a day but even then it only lessens the cramps. Like you, I don't really ...

I was on it for three months and noticed no difference at all. Directly after that treatment I was given Erythromycin, for a further three months. Only at about month five (of a total of six), I then...

Sorry, what do you mean...?

Do not increase your doseage unless you're instructed to, no matter what medication you're taking. (I am only on day five and take 60mg every day but I feel that is too much!) Do you have a fringe/ban...

Hey folks. I was prescribed Iso just this week (60mg a day) and today I'm experiencing burning sensations on both sides of my body (the waist), lower abdo and lower back. It's not warm to the touch (t...

So, my first appointment went well. I didn't have bloods, the ones in May were noted and accepted, nor a pregnancy test as they wouldn't get a proper sample due to my period. I am on contraception an...

Thank you so much for the reply. I act like a child but I'm definitely an adult! I'm 29 but still can for being under 18. That's the only plus of having acne! Do you think they would take into acco...

Last-ditch attempt! My appointment is in just over 24hrs time and I'm nervous, anxious but hopeful...  *fingers crossed *

Evening all! I need some help, advice, knowledge regarding a NHS dermatology consultation and the prescription of Isotretinoin. What happens/happened to you at your first appointment? Did you have t...
