Day 23   I don't know what to make of my skin. Sometimes it appears to be better than it was pre-Accutane, sometimes worse. Meh. I will say that I currently do not have any very large whiteheads....

Day 21 | Week 3 / Day 22   Skin is looking up overall, I notice a decrease in whiteheads. Smaller inflamed legions that haven't reached a head haven't really changed much.   I haven't not...

Day 20   Minor peeling on both of my arms and several new, small eczema patches on my upper arms/shoulders.

Day 19   Peeling has been a lot less noticeable as of recent, so I'm thinking the Cetaphil won't be a problem. There have been very minor changes to my skin, but I don't want to speak too soon ab...

Day 18   The ankle pain has gotten better (wasn't very active today though), back pain has persisted. Lots of flakiness around my chin.

Day 17   Ok, less ankle pain but still shitty. Went to the store to re-up on Aquaphor, got the Cetaphil Daily Cleanser too (didn't have CeraVe). It says it's for normal to oily skin... we'll see ...

Day 16   Ok, muscle pains have really kicked in, particularly in the back (upper and lower) and my right ankle. That's a shame... if the ankle pain keeps up, it might stop me from running. I'm se...

Day 15   I accidentally squeezed my pill today ._. For anyone wondering, Claravis pills are neon orange on the inside. I realize that I haven't really mentioned any changes my acne as a whole si...

Day 14 | Week 2   Busy busy day today, eight hours of work and four hours of volunteering... No complaints, it helped me take my mind off of side effects.   Lips have settled down a bit m...

Day 13   The whitehead on my chin has become monstrous, I haven't had one this bad in a while. If I didn't know better, I'd have already popped it. The heavy Aquaphor application before sleep def...

Day 12   Got a minor nosebleed and had dry lips today, so nothing out of the usual. I notice that I have a lot of dandruff, or at least what appears to be dandruff, when I run my hands through my...

Day 11   Started blister pack deux. No nosebleed today, but goddamn my lips are getting annoying. Does that symptom tend to improve with time? I really hope so.

Day 10   Another day, another bloody nose. Lips are predictably worse-- they're not peeling, so I've instead got a layer of dry, itchy, hot skin there. I'm also getting a lower back ache. On the ...

Oh no. Nosebleeds suck. I haven't had one, but the insides of my nose are often chock full of dried bloody boogies. Haha ew, I can't believe I just typed that. Anyways, it's gross. Have you tried put...

Day 9   My brain woke me up at 6 AM this morning to have a nosebleed. Plugged my nose up for 5 minutes then went back to sleep. I had another spontaneous one at work (internship, rather) today to...

Day 8   Same old. Peeling sucks right now.

Day 7 | Week 1   Boom, first week done! Had my first day of work while on Accutane today, I left my Aquaphor at home, which was not pleasant. I kept sorta rolling my lips against each other to ...

Day 6   Lips getting a bit more chapped now, and I notice peeling has moved along to my cheeks. A bit of activity on my forehead, which is unusual because my forehead was generally fine pre-Accut...

Day 5   Peeling a bit more widespread, also a bit less noticeable. Aside from that, nothing visible. The chapped lips and dry skin haven't been too bad for me, but I've had my share of headaches....

Day 4   Well, not much new. Lips were obnoxious in the morning... just had to apply Aquaphor and take my mind off them. Seems like my side effects in general have been worse in the morning.  ...
