Month 2: Day 11   Pimple that appeared to be going away has turned into a purpleish cyst. I want to cry.   Two cysts from before still hanging in there, and my forehead and back keep brea...

Month 2: Day 7 (I think) My breakout from last time is definitely improving. Almost everything has turned into a flaky red mark, which sucks, but at least it's not active. The one cyst on my jawlin...

I'm sorry you're feeling so miserable. I think most people have been there on this particular board. I would tell you not to feel bad and cheer up, but I won't because it's pointless, and you can't co...

Do you use a facial moisturizer daily? I've used BP and retinol in the past, and they burned my skin too. However, mixing a small amount of BP with a good non-greasy moisturizer makes it much less ha...

May or may not have been crying on and off all morning. Sooo THAT's how I feel about my acne today lol. I just don't know why it upsets me so much. I know in my head that there are so many other mo...

I'm so sorry that you're feeling that way, yet, at the same time, I completely understand how you feel. Just know that your skin does not make you a monster, and I'm sure you have so many wonderful q...

Month 2: Day 3 I'm having a really bad day. I'm actually crying right now. I'm so upset about my skin, I don't want to go anywhere. I feel so ugly all the time, and I just don't know what to do. ...

MONTH 2: DAY 1 Just saw my derm yesterday and got my pills refilled, so YAY MONTH 2! My derm thinks my skin looks good, but I don't agree. I was also wearing makeup when I went because I had to run...

Yes, it will last the entire time, unfortunately. It might even get worse than it is now. I recommend using the Cetaphil moisturizing cream for your face.

Day 25 Yesterday skin was okay aside from scars and some healing zits, but suddenly two cysts popped up on either side of my mouth last night before I went to bed (wtf how do they even do that). The...

More day 20...I have a big Latin test tomorrow and got really stressed. So, even though my skin is looking totally passable, I picked at it, and now it looks like crap. I picked at the blackheads on...

DAY 20 UGHHH I just blow-dried my bangs and a quarter-sized chunk of skin came off my forehead. THIS IS NICE. Except not at all. GOD Accutane is just the worst.

END OF DAY 16 By this time during my last course, I was starting my initial breakout. Now, my skin is actually doing...dare I say it...okay?? I had a couple of cysts on my left cheek next to my lip...

It's so weird, I always think that I'm lucky because no one really says anything bad about my skin, but then I remember one incident, then another, and another! I've had a couple of friends sort of p...

I'm baaaack! Over a year ago, I logged the first 3 months of my first experience with Accutane. I took 30 mg a day for 5 months (ending in late November 2011), cleared up in the last 1 1/2 months, and...

I know how you feel when you say you're too old to be dealing with this. I'm 26m and still dealing with it. I wish you the best of luck, I'm sure this round of accutane will be really great for you. S...

i find outso hard to socialize too since i have acne. i do not go out, just home-school-home and 3 days a week at pilates. and mostly do not understand me and i feel more awful so when i find someone ...

Hi! I just wanted to say that you are INCREDIBLY gorgeous, even with the acne. You look like a model. Don't let stupid accutane get you down. It DOES work, eventually.

Hi everyone. I finally started my second round this past Thursday. I'm doing 60 mg/day for 5 months. So far so good. I've had some dehydration headaches, and my back's been bugging me a bit. I kn...

Hey check the exp date on those pills, I think mine say they're only good for 6 Months, accutane is not something I'd want to take if its expired.   Actually I just did lol. Unfortunately they...
