Yes that could have screwed your blood test. Good rule of thumb don't drink more than drink or two the week before your blood work. No drinks at all the two days before you blood work. Are you current...

If you think your acne is related to hormones, I would look into Spirolactone. The retin a should help with acne that you currently have, it may also cause a purging breakout. So be prepared for that....

If your talking dark circles under your eyes, the Accutane thins out your skin a lot. So your dark circles that may not be visible prior to Accutane will become visible now that your skin in thinning ...

Can you order it on amazon?

CeraVe AM

I can relate! I love their line of products! I used the moisturizing cream that come in the tub. I also use their foaming face wash. That line of products has helped me tons. I also have huge success ...

My guess is your using too much. You should be used a pea sized amount on your acne. Anything more than that is going to cause huge irritation, which sounds like you are experiencing. I would skip a d...

Yes, your acne would warrant Accutane. What have you tried in the past? Like the other comment above, you do need to try other treatments first like antibiotics and topicals. If you haven't tried thes...

Great post!

Usually if you have PCOS you are on a higher dosage 100 mg and up. I am on spiro and am taking 100mg and have been on that dosage for 15 months now. I do not have PCOS but my acne is hormonal. I am cl...

Looks to me like that is a cystic acne. Call your dermatology office and see if they can get you in for a cortisone shot. That will help bring down the swelling. I would avoid picking and popping this...

Interesting thought. I can admit that I didn't have any acne until after I quit smoking. Never really thought that one had anything to do with the other though.   Starting smoking to achieve th...

Soap? Like bar soap? If so I wouldn't use that on my face. I would use a face wash for acne prone skin, if you are Looking for the face wash as a treatment. Also if you don't want to use a topical gel...

Ahh yes, ipledge is an American thing. Pain in the ass honestly, the whole system is shotty. It should be easier to get the medication in Canada from that stand point. Sounds to me you should be able ...

My skin went through stages too, even when I was on the same doseage. Im not sure why that happens. I would get little patches of rough dry skin too. I just moisturized them on and off all day long an...

What your going through is pretty text book. Stick with it. If your skin is burning badly from moisturizer, you need to cut back on the amount of gel you are using. You should just be using a pea size...

My first month on Accutane I was on 40 mg. Now I am on my second month on day 35 on 60 mg. I have a few questions can you guys please help me. 1. I don't have dry lips yet. They are just a little bi...

Hi, I'm 25 and still getting acne. When I was 16 AND 21 I did Accutane. The first time, I had pretty clear skin for about a year or so, and in college the second time, I saw almost no satisfaction aft...

The reason you tend to scar while taking Accutane   1) your skin gets very thin and fragile. 2) Accutane slows down the healing process A LOT because of that scarring is more likely to happen....

Yes, it is very possible that you could be denied Accutane, even if your GP is recommending it. Dermatologist look at Accutane as a last resort medication. You should too, it's a very serious medica...

The are just white heads. You could use any spot treatment you have had success with in the past. BP, SA, AHA, and topical like differin, retin A.   A medicated face wash would really help your ...

I was on tane 2 years ago. My experience with the break outs while take the medication is similar to you. When I started my Accutane course my acne was mainly on my forehead, and cheeks. After month 3...

Yes it is safe to continue on with your usual skin care routine.

I mostly used it on my face, just using my fingers. I also applied it to my upper back, right below my neck like with ease, also using my fingers. I have used it on my upper arms too. My sister uses i...

The hyperpigmentation on your back is going to take awhile to fade. You can help this process along though. After I got off Accutane I was left with no acne but had lots and lots of red spots and disc...
