I had extremely oily skin like you and finished an aggressive dose of absorica in February. My oiliness started to come back a month after stopping treatment but it's not as bad as it was before, eve...

I did while on Accutane, twice. Maximum strength OTC cortisone cream applied several times a day followed by a metric ton of aquaphor helped clear it up in a day or two. Keep your lips covered by aq...

Hi everyone- So Queen- what did your final cumulative dose end up at? I'm on my second course… my first one I ended up having around 130 cumulative dose… I want...

I would stay on it, the lower your cumulative dose, the high your chances are of relapsing or if too early, acne coming back just as bad as it was before taking it. If nothing else was working for yo...

See my prior post about taking a higher cumulative dose:   Check out that peer reviewed study about higher cumulative doses, side effects, and the chances of relapse. I experienced quite a bit...

I thought I was the only one that had some of those side effects. I'm about to finish up my 5th month on accutane 80mg/day. I have the common side effects dry lips ,skin, nose bleeds, sore muscles/joi...

Hi guys!! I've started my second month of Accutane and have noticed over all clearing. In the months prior to starting Accutane I noticed I was getting all these small skin coloured bumps on my cheeks...

I took ACCUTANE for 14 days(40mg/day) and my flushing started on day 11. I am prone to flushing and redness preaccutane so I think it was a precursor. Anyway I went to my Derm on day 14 and she took o...

My son has only been on Accutane for a few days. His back is so bad he actually has a hole in it from his acne. I can't imagine that one isn't going to scar. I'm going to be patient and hope this work...

My point is that people take the risks of accutane far too lightly. Here is a thread of people who have developed rosacea from accutane, there are plenty more on various rosacea forums as well. Trust...

I had mild backne before accutane and I wanna say it totally cleared up and stayed clear around the 3rd month. My face took longer to totally clear up (month 4-5ish) as that was where the really bad ...

I had really oily skin before I started taking Accutane. I would look like I dunked my head in a grease pit an hour after taking a shower. I have been off of Accutane for over a year with no relapse ...

for all you idiots who told me to keep taking accutane, there are hundreds of people who have developed permanent side affects from accutane such as severe rosacea, ocular rosacea, arthritis, hair los...

Congrats on having 2 months down! I'm sorry you're sick too, that must suck while on tane. If your lips are still pretty bad, try slathering some maximum strength cortisone cream on them, followed b...

Hi- This gives me some encouragement for my teenage son. He is almost 15 and just finished (a month ago) a course of Accutane, for very severe cystic acne conglobata. He had it on his face, neck and...

I have had a ton of side effects on Absorica, and my daily dose was approximately 1.33mg/kg, everybody is different, but it is possible that your body hasn't abosorbed as much of it due to your lack o...

"still not working! i thought i might have just forgotten how to use this cause i haven't been on for months haha. sort it out please oh i'm jealous, everything about america looks so much better tha...

I remember feeling like a crackhead always itching my face for that first month. The itchiness was also mostly on my face and arms too, I have no idea why accutane does this and why it happens only i...

I was being sarcastic/trying to be funny when I made the suggestion to "eat accutane" in my prior post. I apologize to those I may have offended. I just ended my accutane round, so I was there with ...

Hey there, I take adderall daily too and accutane (Absorica) and the combo will dehydrate you more than if you were just taking one of them. I've noticed that my throat does get drier more often from...

I was so itchy too on my arms, face, and everywhere my first month. It went away completely sometime in my second month. Moisturizing your skin as much as you can with a cream (not thin lotion) may ...

Your skin may be purging faster because of the increase in dose. Hang in there, it'll get less severe eventually.

It saw a decent improvement by the end of month 4. I still had like two or three small pimples in month 5. I was also on a high dose for my weight. To give you a sense of how high of a dose I've be...
