I'm in the uk and it just depends on the doctor and where you live. I tried quite a few different things but I literally just made an appointment and asked her to refer me and she was like 'ok then' l...

I'm on my 8 month of accutane and I'm clear!! Took 5 months to see improvement though and 6/7 months to be clear. I still have hyper pigmentation though which looks like acne from a distance which is ...

I tried every lip stuff they sell in boots and found blistex lip moisturiser the best. Lip balms like Vaseline prevent moisture leaving your lips but when you're on accutane you need to ADD moisture. ...

I would speak to your pharmacist before you take it, doctors do make errors all the time (I'm a pharmacy technician and see this on a daily basis). It is not advisable to take these together like you ...

I've just reached my cumulative dose too after 7 months but I have been clear for about a month, no spots at all the last few weeks. My derm said we will agree when to come off together, probably when...

I'm in the UK and I only waited a month to get an appointment. It's the price you pay for getting 2 months worth of drugs for £7.85 and no other fees! Too many patients and not enough staff, I work in...

There are different classes of antibiotic you can try when you become resistant to one but I quickly became resistant to them all. Once you get to that point you will have to try alternatives like acc...

I've just finished month 4 and I'm still breaking out around the jawline and lower cheeks. I still have tons of PIH which makes it look at worse than it is. My forehead and chin is 100% clear and chee...

I'm a pharmacy technician and we do this at the pharmacy all the time. As long as the added combo adds up to the correct dose it makes no difference don't worry

Accutane/roaccutane is a serious decision, read through the threads so you're fully prepared and know the facts. I would advise against antibiotics, they made my skin so much worse once I became resis...

It was really easy to get roaccutane on the nhs for me, but that may be because my acne is quite bad and I've exhausted all other options! To be fair I work in a pharmacy and some people who bring in ...

I'm on day 5 today so just a little ahead! Good luck!

I've just started too, on my 4th day/pill. I was surprised at how quickly the side effects kicked in, just hours after my 1st pill I ached so much I felt like I'd done a 2 hour gym session! I've had q...

It always itches slightly (when I'm busy I don't notice it so it's hard to tell). I have changed my cleansers, moisturisers etc every couple of months and haven't noticed a pattern....it's so difficul...

Yes it does itch a bit. I don't think not washing my face is going to help tbh, I have tried this before when I was younger and if I ever miss a day then I break out even more (yes in fact it can get ...

I have had acne for 12 years and last year finally went to my GP about it. He prescribed doxycycline which cleared me after 3 months, however the capsules ran out and it took a week to get a new presc...

I usually use bare minerals but have just bought bourjois healthy mix foundation. To remove (and cleanse my face at the same time) I lather up with the body shop tea tree oil facial cleanser, rinse, t...

I was on differin for 15 weeks and it actually made my acne worse, I was on erythromycin as well. Apparently this is rare though so hopefully you will be lucky!

Have u used a new product on your face recently? It does sound like it could be an allergic rash, how long has it been there? Try some antihistamines (hayfever tablets) and see if it helps, if it does...

Reading this made me feel so sad that acne could lead to eating disorders, I'd never even thought about that. My diet is crap, I know it is, I accept it and I should change it, but I just can't do it ...

I have some tubes of panoxyl in my cabinet that are now 2 years out of date.....I was thinking of starting to use it again and buy a fresh lot but just discovered its been discontinued! So may just us...

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. I was actually just considering not taking it anymore as yesterday I had the most horrific stomach pains which I can only contribute to the Lymecycline as i...

Thanks for the advice all. I have been off differin for 5 nights now and my skin has improved alot, my skin is also less dry so I don't think I'm going to use it again. I have tried on my own version ...

I haven't used differin for the past 2 nights now and it feels better already, I'm just worried that if I stop abruptly my acne will break out even more, so not sure whether to just reduce it down gra...
