I actually hate everything about this awful disease. I’m sick of living this nightmare day in and day out. I’m sick of feeling so unattractive and everything always being about my skin. Six years is t...

It mainly depends on the sort of acne. Some people are required to take it over a longer period of time especially if its a more stubborn form of acne but generally yes you are right, they base it on ...

Today I am sat here writing this post, just as depressed about my skin as I was one year ago when I took my first accutane pill. A drug that has supposedly helped millions of people won't help me. I s...

I took myself off accutane about a month ago now despite my derm saying he wanted me to stay on it for another two months but I couldn't cope with what it was doing to my body any more. I have been ta...

Ok so I have realised that I am well under average when it comes to the amount of water I drink daily. Sometimes its about 0.25 litres and most days its none at all. Im tired most of the time and sle...

Okay so the past month or so, every time I have showered a red rash appears on my chest and side of my neck. It lasts about 40 minutes then disappears. It is only ever there when I shower and always i...

Okay so I'm coming up to the end of my 6 months on Accutane now and its has managed to clear my cystic acne (except for when i pick and squeeze at my spots and they turn in to cysts) I'm totally clear...

So as I have lost over half a stone recently Im looking at trying to gain some weight again. I have increased my calorie intake a lot but wanted to start taking some protein shakes as well during the ...

Hi. I know your frustration. Im in to my 6 month now and still getting the occasional cyst and my blackheads are just not shifting. Im only on 30mg daily so not as high as you but I would definitely r...

So I have been on Accutane coming up to 5 months now. 30mg a day. Been on steroids at the same time for the side effects but I haven't really seen much difference apart from an improvement in my hype...

  (when none of the health factors causing your acne change, your acne will come back).   This is right on the money. If you have acne, you are doing something wrong and you normally h...

Yer it definitely does. Especially because of how highly employees view your confidence or lack of. I know I could never change job to one that required me to wear any sort of uniform where I couldn't...

Okay my skin was so awfully pigmented I wanted to try do something about it. I looked back at photos of my skin from a year ago when my acne was just as bad as it is now but my PIH was so little compa...

Hey man I'm in a similar situation with you. 22 similar weight (slightly less) and on 30mg daily. Coming up to week 2 now and my skin has got a lot worse but knowing its at least is having some effect...

Hello. I just got back from holiday while on Accutane. Like you I'm on 30 mg. It was 30+ degrees every day and I was out in the sun a lot. I was using a factor 50 and kept a cap on nearly all the time...

While on accutane, my blackheads were mostly concentrated on my nose and I did experience more of them coming out. Within 2 or 3 months in (sounds like a long time, but then again, I've had these same...

So I have been on Accutane over a month now and was just wondering what are the effects it has on blackheads? As this is one of my main problem areas. I have read a few posts on here with people say t...

This is very similar to my acne but mines slightly further down my neck and in the middle rather than the sides. I'm currently on accutane as not a great deal worked. I tried elimination diets like st...

Been put off Accutane for a while now but finally decided to take the plunge started my first dose of 30mg today aswell as some steroids i was prescribed to help combat the side effects and also takin...
