How are you doing? Any updates

From what I read re cumalitive doses at 120-150. Your total cumalitive dose should be between 10,614 and 13,267 and u are about 11,400. So u seem ok but ask your dr. Another month at 80 would put u o...

Hi Tracy. Thank you for all the kind words. they must have diluted the cortisone because its been several days and they still look about the same. although i dont think hed want them again...lol..hes ...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Everyone here has been so helpful and caring.   Update: I called his derm this morning and told them we are going to alternate between the 80mg one day and 40...

Thanks everyone for all your responses. I appreciate all of them. I hate seeing him like this. Ok update on the ib. PA said his ib was normal and injected about 10 of the cysts. None of them look bet...

Ah, I must have misunderstood before. Have you shown him logs on here (specifically the pictures), and then the response to them? I've told him about things I've read here. He doesn't like to talk a...

You are looking great, I'm so happy for you. What a big difference in the before and after pics. Thanks for posting. At what day did you notice the change for the better?

Going to derm today. Will update on ib status when we return. Things have gotten a little better in the past 2 days since applying some hydrogen peroxide to the active open acne. I think it's helping ...

We've used hydrogen peroxide while on accutane. I dab it on some of the oozing acne with quip. It seems to help get rid of inflammation and bacteria.

Hi BMarie, yes we have taken pics just to compare from the start to finish. It is a really good idea for anyone. He keeps them on his phone though lol. Ib update day 26. Some of the cysts have been co...

We are on day 22 and no sign of healing yet. It may have to do with being on 80 mg. I try not to stare at his face and I know he tired of me asking" any improvements today?" about 10 days ago lol. Be...

Thanks Sasch83 . As far as ib goes ...day 21 or so. cysts still hanging around some are actually coming to a head now. Dabbing them with some hydrogen peroxide. Noticed about 5 or 6 new whiteheads or...

Hi ughhhh , my sons face has broken out worse than yours and he's only 20 days in. However he has severe cystic acne that's inflammatory. He even has them in his head right now. Like you he can't sle...

I've spent 800 to 1,200 dollars on antibiotics and prescription topicals which did nothing. I even hade micro dermabrasions and chemical peels. Last resort? Accutane. Doctor prescribed it, insurance d...

I agree leere, I think if a dr cares they will look out for your best interest. I don't want to cause any problems with changing the dr and mess up his ipledge. Especially since his treatment is only ...

My son is on day 20. He weighs about 150. He had a bad flare up starting on day 4 or so, not to scare you, but I've read here its worse when starting on a higher dose. Although I've read quite a few h...

This ib seems to be more of a constant breakout. Cysts are not getting any better. Boy is he moody today. He said its because of the acne looking worse than ever. Have any of you felt that way?

Day 5-I can't believe I'm noticing side affects already being only day 5. Over the last 2 days my skin has gotten a lot worse. Lots of red spots everywhere..even on my forehead which is somewhere I do...

My son started accutane 80 mg a day a few weeks back. He has cystic acne and pustules. nothing else has worked. as far as medicine Take with a fatty meal and try to avoid milk. Hope to see your update...

Dear Chip, I guess there might not be a time when you don't forget your on accutane Two weeks in and the IB is bad. Right now were asking ourselves what have we done. Stay positive and no in a few ...

I believe Costco has online pharmacy.

Will there be an issue if we ask the derm to lower his daily dosage at the one month mark? I have a problem with such a high dose because of long term effects he may get later. However my son just w...

I have found Costco in California to have very good prices for accutane. If you are paying cash look into getting a $55 a year membership. I saved over $400. Costco prescription for 80mg a day month ...

Milk coats the stomach. I have heard it may inhibit the absorption of the accutane , meaning you may not be getting the full dose. I wouldn't recommend drinking milk close to the time you take your a...

I am not a dr or pharmacist but I don't think one damaged pill will make a big deal. However make sure you drink it with lots of water. It's gel like inside and you don't want the medicine dissolving ...
