Mosey mom

Hi BMARIE..... Please update us. i hope all is well. I always check your post when I am here to see how you are doing.

Well. Day 120. My derm told me today that everything on my face (that I was put on accutane for in the first place) is a hypertrophic scar. I have a line inside my skin that I thought was a huge nodul...

I know the slow progress must be frustrating for you and your son. Hopefully things will look better soon! Since starting the isotretenoin, my son has had several complaints that he normally does no...

I hope everyone is doing well on their accutane journey. As you know, progress here has been a little slow. The derm has added the antibiotic bactrim and prednisone for 10 days so we will see how it g...

Mosey mom, I ran across this forum while looking into isotretenoin because my 17 year old son has just started taking it. I have an older daughter who has taken it before, the first time at age 15 an...

Hi Marie, just stopped by to see how you were doing? sounds like things are going well, except for the cholesterol thing. We are on day 80 or so. Still breaking out and skin looking pretty red. Im try...

Looks like things are going really well for you. Yes 120 is alot, but as long as you are responding well and no liver or cholesterol problems. Please keep us updated. Glad to see that accutane is work...

To fotoguy. After all the research I did, I havent seen anything that states Amnesteen doesnt work as well as claravis or visa versa. i have seen different side effects though. Weel 11. So about day...

Thank you Tracy. Ib is still happening. We are at least 50 days in and still breaking out. I can't wait to see when things start clearing up   Actually today is day 63

Hi everyone just wanted to update on my sons cholesterol and ib. As everyone knows I lowered his dose to 40 mg because cholesterol was over 230. He was previously taking 80 mg a day. Today after a mo...

Things are looking really good for you from the pics u posted, so glad ur doing well. Keep us posted. Gives us hope lol

Thanks old dog and Latista sorry been really busy but wanted to update. Yesterday in finally starting to look better. Mostly a lot of drying up of the red inflamed cysts. They look pretty dry with wit...

Dear Lastia thanks for your response. However after one month on 80 mg accutane his cholesterol almost doubled and he was around 240. I lowered his dose ( letting his derm know of course to 40 mg) we ...

I would speak to the one I could see first, but def make an appt with both doctors. I would think derms may deny this as a symptom. Your gp can refer you to the right specialist, probably urologist. W...

He hates taking the fish oil so we have reverted to salmon and salmon burgers 4 times a week. Boys are a lot more difficult than girls sometimes sheesh,

Any updates? Hope all is well

Thanks fotoguy. I'm just a little frustrated for him it was looking like things were getting better and then we lowered the dose and things are worse again. My son got a rash on his hands and arms ...

Cerave cream the one in the jar, not the lotion, is good for dry patches on arms and legs. Also Dove deep moisture body soap. My son started to get patches or rash on knuckles , back or hand and arms...

Use coupons from the Sunday paper. They have lots for revlon and loreal. For my daughter, who's been breaking out from birth control hormones we use the loreal bb cream for everyday light coverage and...

Day 36 and day 31 of IB , things have gotten worse since lowering the dose to 40 mg. On one side of the cheek there's about 7 new large acne, all joined together in a row, it looks like a large c shap...

Hi fotoguy my son weighs about 145. I agree 80 mg was to high. Starting at such a high dose not only gave him a bad ib but his cholesterol rose almost 100 points. We have since lowered his dose to 40...

after hearing my sons blood test was ok from the lab, the derm called and said his cholesterol has gone from 120 to 215 and asked me to lower his dose from 80mg a day to 60mg. However since I had alre...

Go to costco,and ask them if your a member what your price will be. I found it for around $400 a month, or call around other pharmacies and ask them to quote you a price. Also appeal your insurance, ...

I want to say......today is day 30 and day 25 of ib? Things are not so red today all the acne he has received this past month are still hanging around except for the ones on the forehead that went aw...

Great post. My son is on day 28 and had quite an ib after day 4 or 5. Everything has gotten pretty red this week. This post gives us hope. Thank you for continuing to update months after your treatmen...
