Hey crystal, I have been reading your log! Your day 10 sounds like mine did. Up until my 10th day, I surprisingly had a reduction in breakouts, but then from day 10-14 i broke out like i used to befo...

Day 27 IB seems to be clearing up, but red marks are getting BAD. They look worse than the zits. I have one on my lower-left cheek that is HUGE and looks really scary - it's not just red, but scabbin...

Thanks guys!!   I got back from my derm. appointment not long ago, and all he did was increase my dose to 60mg/ day. He told me to take 20mg in the morning and 40mg in the evening. Before he d...

DAY 28   Today is the big derm. appointment after 1 month on 40mg claravis. I'm expecting a dosage increase b/c my side effects aren't unbearable.... I'll update tonight.   PS. dose anyon...

DAY 25   It's been a couple days since I updated my log. The main reason has been b/c I have been working a lot. Anyhow, my face hasn't really changed much since the last set of pics, but I'm g...

DAY 20   Face has been looking better, but I woke up this morning for work with a nice new pimple on my forehead. This is unfortunate, because i havent been into work for about 3 weeks because o...

DAY 18 *NEW PICS*   I am officially a senior in college!! Just finished exams yesterday, so I'm in a pretty good mood until i start working full time Monday!!! Oh, this is an acne.org forum an...

What dose did you take for first month? and are you getting bumped up? Did you start seeing the IB after the first week? or more towards week 3? Where did you get the Emu oil? i had a hard time find...

hey bro, have the scalp issue as well. I actually went out and bought some Dermarest Psoriasis specific shampoo/conditioner and it actually is working like a charm, highly recommend it!! Although was ...

Day 13   I know I'm one day early on the 2 week mark, but I actually think my skin looks decent today. I decided to take some pics today before i possibly wake up tomorrow with 10000 new actives...

I'm currently on my 3rd day of accutane. I haven't had an IB and I'm really hoping I don't have any because I was taking an antibiotic just before Claravis/Accutane. I definitely have noticed the dryn...

Hey you! Aren't u quite the stud! U r going to be amazing after accutane! I def need to get the guts to post some pics, but I think ill wait til day one. Oh, and I have heard that anti dandruff ...

Ill find out for sure on the 9th, but last time I met w/ my derm he said he usually gives the same dose to all his patients unless they're over weight. 1st mon 40mg, 2nd 60mg, and months 3 thru 6 80mg...

Hey everyone! This is a little early to start, but I just can't hold back! I get to start accutane 5/9! I am sooooo excited to actually be doing something that will attack the root of problem! Afte...

Oh, and something I forgot to report.... MY SCALP is very itchy!!! I hope this is not a precursor to hair loss?...anyone's opinion?!?!?

Day 11   The breakout i just had seemed to go away just as quick as it came.... skin looks a little better. However, I do feel like my skin is getting more sensitive. I was outside for about an...

Day 8   well, just after I said i had a big reduction in my active acne, a bunch of new ones appeared. ughhh Definitely, a huge breakout since my last post yesterday. Hopefully the start of a n...

1 Week Done!   after one week of claravis 40mg, I have notice not many changes. I did notice a big reduction in the amount of active acne i have been getting. This is odd to me, because i was a...

haha! that's great, your eyes are like mood rings!! you should def post a picture of 'em

By the way. Just looked at your pic again. GORGEOUS EYES. Are they hazel? or green? I think getting a red face is a common side effect. I'm sure I will have the same since I'm so fair skinned. ha...

Hey guys, Day 6 here, couple little concerns/ questions for the rest of you that started around the same time as me: At this point my lips really aren't any different at all, just as moist as they al...

Hey mdn, I started my accutane on April 20th so I believe we are taking ours relatively concurrent. I'm prescribed with Amnesteen at 80mg a day so i think i'll be hitting side effects a little quicker...

DAY 4 Well, today is day 4 of my 40mg course of accutane, so far nothing really to report, Except since starting I havent got any new active acne. It may just be a coincidence since its so early in ...

About 3 weeks after my derm said i was going on accutane, all loops have been jumped thru. I started 40mg of claravis today. I'm nervous about the whole thing, but at the same I'm excited to possibl...
