Miss Demeanor

does anyone know if the second or third rounds of Accutane add to the cumulative dosage? I wouldn't of thought so. It's more likely to add to the cumulative damage to your body. My dermatologist to...

The 3 best things I can reccomend you that are very easy to change are the following 1. Whole Foods Diet, no processed foods, no dairy no processed meats...preferably vegan or high plant base. - inf...

Anyone been diagnosed with this? I don't think I'm much of a picker. Perhaps I do it unconsciously.

god damn get your hormones checked please. and takeagood look at your diet My diet is bad. I'm so stressed at the moment too. What are the best things you can recommend I can do to my diet to begin...

I'm so fed up. I went on accutane to clear up my spots on my arms / legs etc. it got rid of a few cystic spots but my arms are worse than ever. This is the third time on accutane. I hate to think what...

Well I'm now off accutane as of yesterday. It didn't do much. It got rid of a few pustules and stopped some hormonal spots. I'm fed up. My arms look terrible. I've been prescribed Fucidin H to clear t...

Comforting to know its a common side effect. Thanks.

Anyone had this? It really hurts when I wash my hands. I have to dry them so gently. I put some Aveeno on them and it has helped the soreness but the rash is still there.  

Going from 40 to 80 mg hasn't made any difference to my mood. I feel fine. I just have a lot of dryness on my nose and lips. Wearing my contact lenses has been fine though. I've developed a rash type ...

Went from 40 to 80 mg today. Feeling nervous / apprehensive about it. Scared of the side effects but I couldn't go on with the skin I had so Ive got to try.

My nose is now peeling after the "burn" incident. I'll not be doing that again. I'm just coating it in moisturiser as often as I remember.   So I've 2 more days left if 40mg. Then I'm up to 80m...

Different antibiotics for different strains of infection. Some are from the same family eg oxytetracycline and doxycycline or eurythromycin and clarythromycin. If you have become immune to one then tr...

Vaseline is great. I exfoliated my skin yesterday and it looks burned now. I can recommend a range called "la Roche-Posay they do a line called "toleriane" it's great! The moisturiser is called "riche...

Hey. Follow my accutane journey on here. It might be handy for you to keep a mood and symptom journal. Colleges are usually great, I would let them know that you are on the meds and find out who you c...

It will be from a different strain. I don't like taking antibiotics. I think they compromise your immune system. I'll only take them if I'm desperate.

Wow that's crazy! I had to wash my hair every day! Twice a day if I was going out. It was so greasy. A month into accutane and I have second or even third day hair and it feels amazing. Try and use a ...

What do my fellow accutane users wash their skin with or moisturise with? I need to feel water on my skin. I usually use a liquid face wash. Does anyone know any that are good for sensitive skin?

Hi   My nose looks so flaky. I did a very silly thing and decided to use my Eve Lom cleanser with the exfoliating cloth. After cleansing I went to work on the blackheads on either side of my nos...

Hi   Still going strong although I feel I'm typing to nobody. My derm said I've to go from 40mg to 80mg so I'm a bit apprehensive about that. I've been getting nose bleeds and a few dormant boil...

Hi   Still popping the accutane. Feeling ok. Just dry flaky skin and dry lips. Lots of moisturiser and lip balm at all times. A very painful pimple on my jaw at the mo. If I could pop it, it wou...

Still nothing much of note. Skin dry, lips dry and pimples I've had for a long time are finally drying up. My mood is fine. Onwards and upwards!

And p.s my nose is bleeding a bit too.

My lips are now very dry. I treated myself to some Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream which is splendid for dry lips and skin. The aches and pains I had are much better. Skin looking ok, no noticeable n...

Thanks for your reply! I thought I was alone out there! How far into your second round are you? Yes my skin has changed a lot too. I think I will try something like bio oil to sort out any scarring I ...

Actually feel quite good today. Mood wise and pain wise. My ear cartilage is sore and my nose feels weird. The space between my eyebrows was tender to touch but feeling better today. Applying more lip...
