An after thought, I hope you don't mind me posting this but since this is a place we can all feel comfortable and open to help each other-- you should probably see the family doctor too. There is a ch...

Hey! Glad to read your post.   Something that caught my attention and is worth noting is the blood in stool. As you have noted, I too have read a lot about the experience with accutane through ...

Sounds like things are looking positive on your journey! Love reading your updates.   I'm on 37 days 40 mg, go up to 50 mg at 60 days.   My break out seem to come and go. Initially my skin...

I have the small bumps too that look like white heads waiting under the skin. I won't touch them because anytime I have I take skin off trying and they look worse! Yikes! Although my skin had cleared ...

I have just started my second month and the dryness has been minimal so far but I've been diligent with my routine.   In the am I wash my face with warm water and use cetaphil face wash. I use a...

Hi everyone,   I'm very new to this site so I'm not sure what part of this thread my post will end up responding to, so if it doesn't make sense with what you've posted just ignore that. I just ...
