I'm also looking for something to help with little bumps and redness. I've been off accutane for 2 months as well. And it's been great (except a little red pimple appearing on my cheek yesterday). ...

I had back pain on Roaccutane. I also had the 'weird' feelings. I thought maybe it'd change me forever (after getting paranoid from reading articles on the internet) but safe to say, i completed my t...

Hi Allegra77!   Don't give up! It sounds like the type of acne you had was similar to mine. It wasn't severe but it was bad enough to cause stress and frustrations when getting ready to go out i...

PS - that red mark on my left cheek... that's from picking out a blackhead (obviously with the wrong tool). Months ago! Learnt my lesson and leaving blackheads alone now!!

Day 186: Here it is! I completed 6 months a few weeks ago. My derma has prescribed Differin to use as a topical treatment every night. He said the effect is the same as Roaccutane and that it will hel...

Day 120: Nothing new to report much anymore. Month 4 and it feels like forever that I've been taking it. Good news is that from month 3, my skin really cleared up. But now that the pimples are gone i...

I hardly ever break out, and my skin is smooth to the touch! ..but it's still so red and there's still much affected dark redness from previous breakouts and doesn't look good Mine is like yours. Sm...

You may feel like this and start to avoid people, but don't lose touch with your close friends and family. Their support will definitely help you through it.

You have to stop taking this treatment. Your dermatologist should tell you the same. I know what I am saying because 3 years ago this " miracle " treatment was the cause of my depression 2 month only ...

This is not an Accutane log, and not really emotional and psychological effects of 'acne'. More like emotional and psychological of Accutane. I know it's something that you read about before starting ...

My mum used to get me to put aloe vera on my pimples but i feel like it didn't work (they were active and crazy and all). But i think she had her info wrong and it must be something that only works on...

Looking good. I don't have an answer. But I'm kind of in the same boat. 3-4 months in and waiting for the redness to disappear. Interested to see what has happened with others.

Day 94: Been a while but that's because there have been no changes. SKin is still clear except for the redness surrounding old pimples. I flew to Australia last week (Autumn/Winter) and gladly the ch...

Day 79: Very happy with the progress so far. No new pimples in the last week. That nasty whitehead above my lip went away (I might have poked it away) but it didn't come back. I had a persistent black...

Thanks for the tips. I have a count down... 13 months to go til i'm 30 and I hope I can write a similar post then

Day 70: Woke up with a whitehead just above my lip! Whyyyyy. It's so big and I want to pop it. Also having another coldsore on the corner of my mouth. I hate these. This one isn't as bad as one i had...

Hey lilypad, also looking forward to updates! I think we're on around the same timeline (I'm on day 70 now) but I started off with 40mg from day 1. We seem to have been having the same progress - some...

Great read... since that post was a couple years ago now, how is your skin doing? I'm middle of month 3 and it's only this week that I start to see the turn around... Although a little white head spr...

That's great to hear!! Do you still have any lingering side effects - dry skin and eyes or any muscle issues? I'm 3 months into my first treatment on Roaccutane and sometimes worry about these things....

Some people are dumb and insensitive. That's all.

Exciting! Pls come back in a few months and let us know how your skin is doing after the treatment

Hi o1love! Good to know:-) safe to say my paranoia has disappeared this week. lol.. I'd just like to clear my skin and not worry about break out anymore.   Day 69: Saw the dermatologist yday an...

I am open and honest about my acne. I sit in an office with a couple of other ladies (i'm the youngest) and we're not super close but I tell them when I have issues with my skin. I'll sook about havin...

Good luck hope it all goes well! PS- great username!

Hello, flowercrown twin! Life isn't fair. I've had bad skin for as long as I remember too and on my first course of Roaccutane at 28, I can only hope it will have good long term results! I don't have...
