Why, having 'tried every antibiotic there is' as you quote, would you suddenly decide that starting a course of tetracycline was a good idea? By the nature of your post, you sound fairly distressed, I...

Yo, would be good if you could perhaps provide a little more info in regards to your accutane course, i.e. what dosage were you on, what side effects did you experience etc. It's difficult to reach...

yeah I sweated so much more when I was on accutane. It has to some extent calmed down since the completion of my course, but still to this day light coloured T-shirts are a must avoid!

Haven't been on this site for a while - must be about 3 months post-treatment now, I can't remember when exactly I stopped. Well I'm not totally clear, and I've come to the conclusion that to expect s...

Thanks for the reply That's a good point - and a question I had meant to ask - about whether to wait until my only issue is red marks before treating them. I can see how treating them while still hav...

There's really no point trying to do anything for your red marks while you still have active acne, regardless of how severe it is. You'll keep getting red marks if you still have acne, and it's just a...

Awesome news!!! Congrats!   thank you, very kind Guess I must be somewhere in the region of 7 weeks post-Roaccutane now.. Well, I technically can no longer say I have been totally acne-free. T...

Roaccutane + 1 month   Fairly oily again now, particularly around my nose, although this is of course aggravated somewhat by the humid august weather. Still, definitely not as oily as I was pre-t...

Hello mate. Nice topic, im one of those wierdos who read the forums all the time but never actually register and then i thought what the hell. Ive read all 3 pages and they were very infomative and ga...

2 weeks post-treatment   Oils have returned quite a bit, but still slightly on the dry side - having to moisturise in the morning after my shower still, but no longer needing to reapply cetaphil ...

Day 140(ish)   Saw the dermatologist, she said that all was fine, but that I "might as well" use up all the pills I have left - she didn't question how many I had. Was slightly alarmed by her cas...

I have a question for someone who has finished their course of accutane or are quite far on in their course - besides getting rid of spots, does accutane improve the general appearance of your skin? I...

Day 132   So, finally here, the last few days on Roaccutane *plays violin emotively*. Final (I hope) dermatologist appointment on Tuesday. Haven't bothered to get a blood test done, which I proba...

Day 125   Just 11 days to go! So close to the end, then it'll get REALLY interesting. How long will I stay clear for? 6 months? A year? Forever?????? Scared to come off Roaccutane, which is odd c...

All in all, I am in the same position you were in - I've tried what seems like an endless list if things in the hope that they would grant even the tiniest bit of relief but it seems nothing works, my...

Glad its working for you! Do you find the side effects difficult to deal with or are they manageable over time? I'm interested in trying Roaccutane to clear me up since nothing else works, the possibl...

Day 118   All continuing to go well, only 2 and a half weeks left to go now. Looking forward to finishing, I'm quite bored of moisturising intensely only to find that an hour later my face has on...

Day 111   Another great week, had like 2 come up on my right cheek but they were relatively small. Other than that I'm COMPLETELY clear! Nothing much else to report, although I'm beginning to get...

Day 104   Excellent week, this stuff is FINALLY working, and working brilliantly I may add. Had like 2 spots all week, chin has still been clear of anything for 2 weeks. Amazing. *Cue happiness* ...

Thanks mate, I had planned to get completely slaughtered but I'll have to go steady(ish) because of the Roaccutane lol. Fingers crossed you don't get a horridly severe/long initial breakout! I believe...

No I think that's only within the EU. I would just be on a student visa,doing my masters. I'm hoping to move to London. I'm still trying to figure everything out but that's where I want to be (I think...

"What do you have that Bill Gates doesn't?" I think I would have just answered, "Acne." haha true though, I'd rather be 21 with many years ahead then in my late-50s sitting on a wad of cash Degree's ...

Hey peck, I am at 60 days and my eyes are kiling me. Dryness abound. Did you feel the same at that stage. Thanks,   Hey arakhanna, In terms of my eyes, they do get a tad dry and irritating when...

I feel so old, no wait I AM so old *moans uncontrollably   Please don't say that. I am a few years older, and I still have a year and a half left- four sessions/semesters. How depressing lol. C...

Day 95 Not much to report, my face is still shit and I'm still not getting clear. Dryness of my face isn't as bad though.   hey mate, remembered I commented on this log near the beginning of yo...
