Hi It makes such a difference to find a doctor that you like and trust. My last derm was a weirdo, but I love my doctor now. I totally trust him. As a male, your requirements for ipledge are not t...

You sound a lot like my brother. He is a 20 year old genius and serious underachiever. He started out doing extremely well in college and then it all went wrong. He became very apathetic and no longer...

Never broke out MORE, it was just weirder...My acne was a different type and in different places. They came quicker and healed quicker too. That started a couple days in and continued for around 3 wee...

I like Vaseline for some things but not for others. I have heard people say that it causes breakouts for them, I've heard people say that it heals zits. I agree that it is up to the individual to see...

Hmmm....Is it itchy? I had a slight rash during my first month that was itchy and patchy like yours only the bumps were smaller (and my thighs were not as white. haha). I used Cortisone 10 Eczema loti...

Cliniques continuous coverage. It's a full full coverage foundation. I apply with a foundation brush which is awesome compared to a sponge.   I wish I could learn how to use a foundation brush!...

Stay positive! After you start the second month and your body has a chance to adjust to the increase you will hopefully see some improvement. Be sure to discuss with your derm the extent of your itchy...

but sometimes I don't hear from him for days and yet he has the time to sit on fb chat and not talk to me -________- so dumb.   I totally get that! "UH, I can't hang out tonight because I have...

I use Boscia BB cream. I have used it for the past year and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's not as heavy as foundation but better than tinted moisturizer. It feels WONDERFUL on my skin. It keeps my skin moi...

My 3rd month has been awesome. I don't believe I have had a single zit in probably 3 weeks! Ok, maybe a couple TEENY TINY ones but it's waaay better than the dozens I had before I started. My dozens o...

What kind of makeup do you use? I swear, 2 months ago I had over 50 zits (actual bumps, not just red spots) and no amount of product would cover the Braille texture of my face. It made me so sad And...

So jealous That you can run.....IN HAWAII! It's kinda hard to feel sorry for you and your acne when you get to live there. hehe. NAH, JK... really I'm happy for you! I'm glad to hear that you haven'...

Headaches. YES. Probably on and off for the first month. All I can say is, don't give up! it's WORTH IT! Hang in there girl. Things will get better, I promise! You are doing the right thing by drinkin...

And one more thing...When I meet someone that I want to have sex with for the first time, I would prefer that he be a virgin. Someone as awkward in the sack as me. Furthermore, Why would I want to dea...

Yep, I'm very early on though, taking my 4th pill tonight!   Hang in there girls...You are not alone

Good luck to you too!! message me if you have any questions or if you are freaking out about anything. Chances are I've been there And have fun kissing

I am only 17, and It may be too early to speak, but I am currently at the end of my 3rd month on Accutane. I had exhausted every other option (antibiotics, hormones, topicals, blah blah blah) and I wa...

The cream is really thick and...well..creamy. It does a good job of staying put through the night without feeling greasy. But yup, the difference is just that it seems to have more substance. Longer l...

Oh my gosh, I love this post. First of all, I am a 17 year old girl who is horny as all getout. Having said that, I am still a virgin. I am not religious at all (in fact, I am an Atheist), and I thin...

Accutane itself is expensive but the whole process is even more costly. Here is my cost if I didn't have insurance. Monthly dermatologist visit - i don't know $100+ Monthly blood test - $156 (Labcorp)...

Yes, that sounds right! My skin did really funky things the first month/month and a half. My zits were just....different. In strange places or they just acted weird. My whole face was really wonky. Th...

YES! I would recommend CereVe moisturizing cream (in the tub). It's thick and gentle and non comedogenic. You are early in your treatment and on a low dose and already dry.... If you don't moisturize...

Acccckkkk!!! Also, this question is a little cheeky haha but does anyone have any advice on kissing whilst on accutane? HAHAHA I made myself cringe there but I don't want my boyfriend to feel like he'...

I'm loving what Accutane is doing for me! LOVIN IT! I know that during the first month my skin was so weird! Breaking out in places I never did before and healing strangely. My acne was not worse...ju...
