Hi there,  I've been on roaccutane for almost 6 months now on NHS as well. It took me a long time to actually get referred to the dermatologist because I only had mild but persistent acne....

I'm due to finish my 6 months course in a few weeks. I'm happy to report that I did not experience an IB at all. My dermatologist put me on 20 mg for the first month then 40 mg, 40 mg, 50 mg, 50 mg a...

Hi All, I posted my story here on this website over a year ago when I was at my breaking point. Thank you for reading it and all the support. I know that many people on this website can relate to eve...

Hi all,   Wow I haven’t been here in a whileJ. It’s probably because I don’t remember the last time I had a spot/cyst/zit. I feel great and I’m so happy I decided to go ahead with starting roa...

Hi there,   Well it should be only your decision to make J. I’m currently on day 87 of Accutane/Roaccutane and I’m extremely happy with the results. Wish I had taken it earlier. I suffered fr...

Hello again,   Thanks ladies for not judging meJ. I just don’t want to start the whole process shortly after I finish the treatment. I’m aware of the fact that I may need a second course soone...

Hello again, I hope you’re all doing OK. Just came back to London from short holidays. It was amazing and I didn’t have to worry about putting make up on my faceJ. The dryness got out of control th...

Thanks for your responses ladies. My dermatologist told me that my acne was mild to start off and if I was to get the initial breakout it would have happened already. Basically she told me to relax, s...

I actually have a similar question. I’ve been on Accutane for 70 days now (1st month on 20 mg, 2nd month on 40 mg and I'll be on 40 mg in my 3rd month) All blackheads on my nose have already disappe...

Hello all J Hopefully you all had a good weekend. I’m away from Friday for a week and I can’t wait. Cristine I’m so not happy now. How come you’ll be on 80 mg and my derm doesn’t want ...

Hey there, First of all let me tell you something….do not believe in all the horror stories you read/watch on the Internet/YouTube about Accutane, depression it causes, initial breakout etc, etc. ...

Hi all,   Wow it seems like I haven’t been here in ages. Sorry…..I’ve been crazy busy with work.   Ladies I know how difficult it is to stop picking. Before Accutane I was picking like...

Hi James, I'm not a doctor but I think people taking accutane should reach cumulative dose in order to avoid relapse and acne coming back. Your doctor must be concern about your seborrheic dermatiti...

I do agree with TaneBabe. You do need to call the doctor ASAP! Accutane is a serious drug!   How is everyone doing? It’s gone quiet here. Does it mean that everyone is happy with the results...

Ladies I’m definitely joining the celebration times when we are all done . I was naughty 2 weeks ago on Friday though. We went out for some drinks with colleges from work and I had 3...

Hi Sophia. Thanks a lot for the tip with olive oil mask. Definitely picking up some olive oil from Sainsburys or Tesco today. My hair is getting really dry but I actually love it. Also, I'm not a big ...

Hello Will. I live in London too J. At least we don’t have to worry about the sun sensitivity too much for now ;).   Glad to hear you’ve started the treatment Taylor. I do the same thing with ...

Thanks Cristine! I love wine too and cocktails J. I don’t drink much but I enjoy having a few drinks on the weekends. Haven’t had any this weekend and I feel so odd. I may treat myself to 2 glasses of...

Cristine…my birthday is on the 27th of March. I’ll be 27 years old on the 27th of March. Happy Birthday to us  Don’t know about you ...

Hi All,   I officially started accutane 4 days ago and reading your posts is helping me to prepare for what is about to happen.   I’ve been dealing with mild but persistent acne that s...

Can’t believe it’s actually happening. I took my 2nd accutane/isotretinoin pill today. After trying everything I possibly could to get rid of my mild/moderate but horribly persistent acne I finally de...

Dear Flowersfornina,   I described my yesterday's day cause I know that most of us on this website feel similar way. It's horrible how acne can hold people back and infuance their moods, person...
