I am currently in accutane, almost a month in. Since I have read about so many people having to do a second or third course it got me thinking. Has anyone tried do the regimen after? Like Dan Kern, he...

I've been on Accutane for 20 days now, and I just have dry lips and mildly dry eyes and face. My hair also is considerably not as greasy and I don't have to wash it everyday. I've had no other side ef...

Its stressed that if you experience a difference in mood, being depressed or changes in activities that you should let your doctor know right away. I am on day 20, and so far I haven't experienced any...

Yeah I agree, don't do the regimen. I just started accutane too, about 8 days in. I did the regimen back in March, and it was horrible. Such dry and red skin, if I didn't use the jojoba oil it felt li...

I too just started accutane, I'm only a week in though. Experiencing any side effects? I have mild dry skin and lips, and when I put on makeup my face looks horrendous. I'm guessing its because my por...

I have cetaphil moisturizing cream, but when I tried the regimen I didn't like how the cream felt greasy after putting it on. They say cerave cream is good but I don't want to pay $15, when I still ha...

Thanks for the tips! I already stocked up on lip balm, and I'm not quite sure what cleanser I want to get. I've been getting recommendations on CeraVe. I also drink a lot of water already so that wont...

My accutane journey started today! I am 25, female with moderate acne. I've had acne since I was about 13, light acne, normal teenager acne. As I got older it slowly got worse. Then in January it just...

Omg I wish I had your skin! You do not have bad skin whatsoever! Now compared to other teenagers who have flawless skin, I can see why you would want to go to a dermatologist. You absolutely do not ne...

How bad is your acne? My derm described mine as moderate-moderate/severe, and on my first appointment she mentioned accutane. I didn't want to do it right away, but I decided on it the next month. I'l...

I'm glad I got all these responses, nice to see how it affects everyone. Thanks!

Ooh yes, good point on the driving. Thanks everyone! So basically any time i go outside I will need to lather up. I will be camping in August, I'll be outside almost all day, so I'll be sure to bring ...

Oh yeah, I'm not not going to wear any sunscreen, I was just wondering how bad it is. Trust me I will be taking precautions. I always wear sunscreen and a hat while I'm out. Thanks for the info!

I will be on Accutane come the middle of July. I was put on Minocycline back in April, and they told me that that cause sun sensitivity. I took so many precautions because of that. I stayed out of the...

I go to my local pool almost everyday and I wear a full face of makeup. However I don't get my head wet. By the time I go home, my face feels so gross from sitting out in the sun and sweating. I hate ...

I'm on Minocyline, an antibiotic, and while it has definitely helped a lot, I still breakout a little but the pimples are not big anymore and they seem to heal faster. I think everyone reacts to antib...

I have no idea how the insurance plans are in Canada. This new "Obama care", allows you to stay on your parents plan until 26, but come January 2014 every one in the US is required to have health insu...

I thought I'd ask this question here. Can you take supplements while on accutane? I know you can't take vitamin a, but I was wondering about evening primrose oil? I was taking that for pms symptoms li...

Omg I'm in the same position as you! I don't have a job, I really need and want one but my acne is preventing me from looking. I was put on minocycline, and it has helped a little but I will be going ...

Haha nice..

Does you face every feel hot, like you have sunburn? I know when I was doing dans regimen, my face was red, and it felt hot like a sunburn. I started using jojoba oil mixed in with my moisturizer and ...

Thanks for all your recommendations! I did know that about urine being yellow/clear. I drink a lot of water anyways. When I tried dans regimen it was in the winter. My skin gets dry in the winter anyw...

Last month I decided on accutane. My dermatologist's medical assistant made a follow up appt this month. I come in and basically that MA screwed everything up. Last month she was supposed to put my in...

I did. I had never discussed it with any one because my acne was never severe. But now it is, and she understood. Both my siblings had acne but they out grew it.

Thank you so much! It's nice to hear other personal struggles and that you're not alone. At my sisters bachelorette party, all the girls came back to shower after being on the beach. One of the ladies...
