Hi Everyone! It has been a while since I have posted, sorry about that! I am in my 6th month of treatment, and it will be my last for this course. Honestly, I would go longer if I could, but my derm. ...

Hello there friends I just wanted to come on here and see how everyone's doing on their treatment. Sadly, I'm still breaking out, but I'm still early into the treatment. If it takes me 6 months or mo...

Hi everyone, lets see...its now been 77 days, so 11 weeks. It has not been easy...still getting cystic acne. I was hoping to be one of the lucky ones that didn't have to go through the IB or have the ...

Day 38--derm. prescribed me 40mg twice a day, so I am up to 80mg a day now. Started Thursday, and I'm not sure if this was a coincidence or not, but that evening I got another cyst on my forehead. Thi...

Hi Sophia! Welcome! It seemed like when I was in highschool, birth control worked wonders for me to help clear up my acne, but as soon as I got older it did the opposite. I sure hope the copper IUD wo...

Hello Will from London, so nice to meet you. Your skin type, complexion sounds like mine. It is what some people would consider moderate (although to me, I'm like this is too much!!!) but they can be ...

Hey Abby, I'm currently on 40 mg. I actually finish my first month in 5 days, but then it won't be until April 7 until I can see my derm again. Im going to go almost a week without it and I'm not too ...

Happy Easter! Abby yeah for your appointment on Monday, well tomorrow=) Im on day 25, I sure hope he doubles my dosage as well. My face is still breaking out (which is to be expected, I guess I was ju...

Hi Taylor, Were you able start your treatment okay?

Taylor, It won't be too much longer:) I remember those were a long 30 days:) Let us know how it goes! It actually took about 2 weeks for me to start feeling the side effects. But everyone is different...

That's great that you're seeing progress in your skin and you're only in the second month!!:) I wasn't put on antibiotics either prior or even now during treatment, but even when I was on antibiotics ...

Hey Cristine , Thats what I am afraid of (theres feels like there is still a small bump)....but theres nothing I can do about it now because I just want it to heal. I just need to leave it alone. Tomo...

Cristine....I can't seem to get this thing to heal?! I keep applying moisturizer to it, but its not really improving. Im just going to stop doing anything to it. The area is all red and pink. Frustrat...

Hey Brianna! So good to hear you're doing well on the medication (besides that horrible headache:( Hopefully you don't experience that too much during your treatment. I agree with you about being happ...

Bree, did your derm say you would be on it for 6 months? Maybe he or she is putting you on a higher dose for a shorter period of treatment?? Next month as long as my levels are good, I think I will be...

Abby, yes unfortunately I do get blackheads....especially on my nose. I also have them on my forehead, chin, and upper cheek area. Im really hoping the accutane gets rid of all them! Hope you're doing...

Hi Ladies! So glad we have each other for support! Hi Bree! Im sorry your side effects have already begun=( 60mg is a little high to start off with, but I am sure your dermatologist has a plan for you...

Hi Cristine sadly my cyst is still there...I honestly think the bandaide set me back. Usually it would have healed by now. Today I was more oily, uggh. And tonight when I washed my face I noticed a lo...

Hi Megan! I would love it if my face would dry up a bit, my skin is still oily. I think the whiteheads is just a sign that the isotretinoin is pushing the oil and everything else out of the pores. Min...

Hey Cristine! Your scab fell of quick! I wish mine would. I know exactly how you feel ...its like you want to enjoy yourself on vacation but all you can think about is the acne. And yes everyone aroun...

Hi Abby! You are most certainly not alone:) I pick and as much as I hate it, it's a bad habit that I developed 18 years ago...its hard to just all of a sudden stop, even though I know its the right th...

Hey Cristine, no judging on my end...to be honest i wouldve done the same thing! I get impatient with mine. Ive got another comedone on my cheek...Im going to try to have some willpower and leave it a...
