It has been quite a while since I posted anything on here. So far things are going quite well. I have a few little things on my forehead, which are easily covered by bangs, but other than that, no bre...

Meg, your skin looks AMAZING!!! It must be a huge boost for you to look in the mirror now. I look forward to hearing how you are doing in the future.

Yikes! I had no idea it had been so long since I'd read your log! How is the rotten cyst? Has it gone away? Hope you are doing better.

So I am currently plagued with perioral dermatitis, which apparently can be fixed with Accutane.... good thing I am already on it, I guess. It has made the left side of my mouth extremely sore, and I ...

Hooray!!! I am so happy for you! I know you have to be thrilled, and I'm sure your confidence will show. Have you finished your course now?

I wen tto the derm today, and got a couple of surprises. First of all, this was apparently my last visit. I am going to be keeping up with a very low dose, enough to keep my clear. Second, when she ...

Congratulations to you on being nearly done!!! I hope your skin does stay clear, and you are able to enjoy it.

Hpoe you get to be completely clear before the end of your course. Will they extend it if you aren't?

Aww. I noticed that too. I feel like I suddenly began to age... when probably I had been all along. It was not a good feeling, at all.

I have an ppointment with the derm on Wednesday. I've put it off twice because of finals, so I guess I had better go to this one. My skin is doing pretty well. I am pleased with the results, so far...

Hooray! I m so glad that things are still going wel, and you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

I had my wisdom teeth done when I was 15. They never actually came in because they were growing into the roots of the other teeth. I do have some very distinct memories while being under the sedation...

Huh! Is there a firm area or bump underneath? There's actually noting underneath. At first I thought there was a "dip" underneath, but there's nothing there, just a circle. Terribly confusing. I ha...

The lips are slightly less dry, which is also a good thing. In the first couple of months I went through a tube and a half of aquaphor, 3 tubes of Blistex Medicated, as well as little bits of other th...

Okay, so noting much has changed, except I've discovered a "spot" on my face. It isn't exactly a zit or a cyst, and it isn't really a scar. It is a circle, about the size of a pencil eraser, slightly...

YAY!!! So glad that you are getting there so fast, and you are almost DONE!!!

The oil does eventually go. It took quit a while for my forehead to clear because it was SO oily. And a little longer than that for my hair to dry up (a side effect that I love).

My brain seems to be constantly fogged these days. I still have the big, pealing patches in a couple of places, and other places I feel like a bear could scratch, and not get all of the itch to go awa...

I'm sorry your IB is so bad. Just don't give up! Eventually, your skin will clear all the "gook" out, and you will start to see clearing.

She said that I could actually stay on it long term. She's prescribing at the "normal" monthly range, so there will be plenty of "left overs". I am really hopeful that things will work out so that I...

Love that you're clear, and staying that way. Your derm sounds AWESOME. I also like your book club "Meter". So nice to hear that you are confident in your skin now! I am looking forward to that hap...

I have had peeling skin similar on the inside of my left knee, and above my elbow, on the back of my arm. Not sure what all that is about either, and no tail for me... at least not the long, skinny ki...

My adventure in the sun worked out perfectly, and I didn't get burnt at all. Of course, I got burnt pulling cookies out of the oven later that day. I am still clear, even though I am only taking 40...

AWESOME!!!! Way to go you!! Love your graph, too. What a great way to visualize your journey. I really hope that you continue to stay clear. Not sure what to tell you about the lips. Hopefully t...

I love the blistex medicated under aquaphor at night. very smooth, and it makes my lips feel good. So far I haven't had issues with anything except a, "Wow, your lips are so dry!" comment from my swee...
