Worrying can give you more stomach problems than anything. I never explained all the side effects to my son because I knew he would worry. In fact I'm the one that has been doing all the worrying and ...

As the above poster noted. Either cerave or cetaphil is very gentle on skin. My son used both. As for lip balm , we found Bag Balm from local costco or rite aid to work wonders. It comes in a green ca...

Dear OP, please know that most people don't see any clearing until around 3 months. I know this maybe a little depressing to hear but 3 months can fly by. My son didnt start clearing until well into h...

Been MIA , dad in hospital. Just wanted to come by and update everyone. My son still has another 10 days on treatment left. It's been a month and a half with no outbreaks. Things have been looking gr...

Any updates?

Had a check up with derm this past Thursday. Face is still extremely broken out, but dr seems to think that treatment is on track and as effective as it should be at this time. He did add a prescrip...

Hi Marie, its been awhile since I posted. I am glad that you are doing so well. Sad to hear that they want you to do a few more months, but they probably want to make sure its totally gone. Do you kno...

Hi all been on vacation so haven't updated. Things have been looking good. Everyone has been commenting that his skin looks good. Please note we are 4 1/2 months in. It has been about two weeks now si...

My son has been on accutane 10 days now and has broken out rather bad with about 20 active acne, he's never had more than about 5 at one time, on both sides of his face. It seems that this is happenin...

Thank You MomToo and fotoguy for your positive thoughts. I havent posted because things were just staying the same, bad!. Past week things have been getting better again and without the antibiotics th...

Even more coming out again. Things looking as bad as initial in. I'm hoping this accutane is working

Things are looking really bad again. appox 11 actives and about 3 of those looking really cystic. Two more weeks and the 4th month will be completed.

Love your pics they are absolutely gorgeous. What a pretty girl. I am soooooooo glad things are working for you. My son is 3 months and a few weeks along. Just a tad bit behind you. Thanks for updat...

Yes to both smjour and mom too, lots of water. It helps with the headaches because most people get headaches from dehydration and it helps lube the joints to help with pain. Progress still slow. Fo...

Hi MomToo. I know what you mean by one day it looks better and the next day bad again. That is what happened most of the past 3 months. Looks bad, then worse, same, same, not as red, worse again, dryi...

Update: a few new acne popping up again. Still on the antibiotics. Just wanted to update incase anyone is going through the same thing, to know your not alone.

Waseem, I was reading your log and am happy to see the results you have had. Please keep us updated. You are doing wonderful and look great. Very happy for you.

I second Bag Balm. My son has tried everything. Nothing worked like Bag Balm. He puts some into a smaller container and carries it with him everyday.

Hi mom too , I am laughing because my son initially told his cute girl PA almost the same thing . Yes I am a worrywart but he had questions too lol. I learned to come here and expressy concerns becau...

Just wanted to update everyone, when I got home today my son was in good spirits. The antibiotics seem to have made a difference over night and things looked better this afternoon. I hope it stays on ...

Ughhh, just know that even scars from atrophy will get better with time I have seen it myself. So even though it seems really bad right now it will get better. The best news is you have moved on from ...

I was worried that 80 mg was too high for my son 140 -160. it was too much for him and showed up in his bloodwork. However after asking that question and doing research Ive found quite a few people th...
