Well I told her no, but I just opened up about the whole thing. She is reay the first person I told how I'm feeling and hopefully she really understood.

My derm prescribed me those two too. I was put on 100mg and I think it helped somewhat but now I'm on 50mg and its just not working out. I'm on my second month. As far as the tretinoin, I stopped usin...

Wow that's great, I will hopefully be starting accutane soon, have another blood test to take and then I will be in the ipledge program. I am going to look into the products you use, thanks for that. ...

Yeah when I went to the bachelorette, I just decided it wod be best to sleep in my makeup, which I never do.

Omg thank you for input, I'm so glad I'm not the only one. The bachelorette already happened and I did the same thing as you. I had to wake up earlier than normal so I could get my makeup on in time b...

I hope other people can relate to this. I have never been really really self conscious of what my skin looks like in the morning after such things like camping, sleepovers, etc. My skin took a turn fo...

Emilyology...haha that's awesome!! I love your attitude!!

That's how I feel. 12 years for me too, never feeling confident. I wake up every morning and that's the first thing on my mind. I hate it, I'm scared but the excitement definetely outweighs the fright...

I just took my first blood test today for accutane. I first went to the derm in April and she recommended accutane right away, but I was so scared I put it off. In may she offered it again and I said ...

Yeah I don't mind running out early, I'm actually going to be on accutane soon anyways.

No, the first time she prescribed me 100mg once a day. Now, the nurse who enters the prescription into the computer put 5mg once a day. She was having trouble putting in the prescription that I think ...

This may seem like a silly question, but I need some opinions. I'm was on 100mg of minocycline for 1 month. When I went back to the derm the nurse messed it up somehow and prescribed me 50mg instead o...

This will be my second month on minocycline. I have seen minimal results. My derm wanted me to go on accutane. At this point I want to go on it too, I'm just so fed up of this and I already have scarr...

I have cystic/nodular acne on my jaw and slightly under, and smaller blemishes all over my cheeks. My derm described it as moderate to severe. My acne was always, as I would describe it, as moderate. ...

Thanks for the positive feedback! I was definetely scared about it but all drugs have serious and/or rare side effects. For me it's definetely worth taking the risk.

At 25, I went to the dermatologist for the first time last month. She put me on minocycline, and also discussed doing accutane. She said it was totally up to me, and I decided to put it off and think ...

I'm on minocycline too, I take 100mg too but only once a day. I really don't know if your dose is a lot but I once took antibiotics before for an infection in my finger and I took 200mg twice a day. N...

Wow, I go back for my one month follow up next week. For me, sometimes I think the minocycline is working and then the next day I get some small pimples. I definetely don't get huge cysts anymore, but...

Me too! I still get pimples here and there but they are tiny, I'm just dealing with the old ones ony jawline that were huge to begin with. I am too dealing with scarring and blotchy ness. I know that ...

Yeah I'm on antibiotics and retin a right now, and have been on them for only a week now. So I think I'm gonna try these things out for a while. If I get a job at least then ill consider doing accutan...

I live in the US, I don't want to ask my parents to help because I already owe them so much (I don't pay rent) and I am not working right now. I think I'll ask my derma what it wound cost without insu...

I will be off my dads insurance because I will be turning 26. I probably won't have insurance after. Yes I do have scarring acne, and I am willing to go for accutane I'm just worried about how I'm goi...

I need some opinions: I am 25, I have moderate/severe acne. My derm gave me the option of going on accutane. I decided to think about it, and in the mean time she gave me minocycline and retin-a. I am...

Yeah I don't leave the house at all, if I have to it's really depressing and really embarrassing. To top it all off my sister is getting married in a month and I'm a bridesmaid, yay so everyone will b...

You commented on my post earlier, I'm also taking minocycline. I'm supposed to take 1 pill a day 100mg. I started Monday, and yesterday I noticed my throat was a little irritated. My derm did tell me ...
