I know the feeling about hating the red spots!! I have them too, but the first step to real clearing is having everything smoother with fewer active pimples. Your skin is definitely improving!!!! I...

Passed out? -__- Robbyyyy....Man up! hehe. Just giving you a hard time I guess tattoos and body piercing would not be your thing, hu? haha I'm glad you are alive and well (except for the need...

Thanks that makes me feel soooooo much better! I have dreamed of the day when I would once again have perfect skin...

NICE! That's so great! I am really happy for you...I hope my results are as amazing Like ==== mentions, I too have a lot of annoying red marks (even though I have stopped breaking out). Did you e...

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry That's totally not fair. Please keep us posted after you talk to your derm, OK? Hang in there....We are thinking of you.

I agree with andrew. Cetaphil and CereVe are super simple, gentle and effective. I will be starting month 4 on Accutane in about a week as well. AND....I lived and breathed soccer (until chronic inju...

I hope you feel better soon! I'm sorry you are feeling so bad. As far as your skin goes, it's probably best to wait until you are no longer sick and no longer taking the antibiotics before you decided...

I'm obviously not a doctor but I would have to say from what I can tell, the healing acne in the middle of your cheek looks too fresh and new to be sure it will scar. I know during the first several w...

Bro?! Where you at?!

Or you can try Dr. Dan's Cortibalm. It's awesome but you can only use it a couple times a day because of the cortisone. I use Aquaphor and Lanolin as well (I've been warned that many people are allerg...

I know that post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can be worse while on accutane and I understand that it will fade after treatment. (At least I'm HOPING) Are you sure that's not what you have? I...

Hey thanks...They won't get better though, I'm anatomically defective haha. Even surgery would only have a 50% chance of success. Oh well.... No more soccer for me. But yea, Cristiano Ronaldo Don'...

Good for you for continuing to run! I had to stop because of joint pain. I have really bad joints anyways...especially my knees. I have Osteochondritis Dessicans in both knees and chronic bilateral di...

Welcome bro. Soccer eh? Me too. Well, I used to play everyday, all year long, indoor and outdoor, until both of my knees decided to dislocate OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Had to quit. Saddest day of my life...

Hey, Don't get a tattoo while on accutane. I had one done about 2 weeks before I started and I didn't have problems but come to find out, I could have. I understand that healing takes much longer and...

Hey there Jenna! You and I seem to have very similar reactions to the accutane. Your ramblings sound just like mine! haha. If you read my log (spellbinding stuff, let me tell you ) you will see that...

Good luck to you. It's an interesting ride...this Accutane train I also have persistent non-cystic acne that stopped responding to antibiotics (or anything else for that matter). I did not get a bad...

I like your question, and it's one I have thought about myself. I am currently taking Yaz and Accutane. I started with Yaz hoping that would take care of my acne (it didn't) but I don't know if I want...

Hey there, I'm sorry you aren't seeing the results you were hoping for. I would be sure to let your derm know the next time you see her that you ARE in fact still breaking out. My derm told me I woul...

I actually find my hyperpigmentation marks to be more distinguishable than the actual blemish itself. It looks like I have a face full of acne and they're all leftover marks. But honey and lemon has t...

Or lanolin (it can smell and taste like crap though...but it really works!) I also like Vasaline. I personally love Aquaphor but if it's breaking you out, Vasaline may do the same. Having said that,...

Welcome Shannon Louise! I am also 17 and I am on my 3rd month of Accutane. I was terrified before beginning, but so far it has been FAR less scary than I feared. I am so happy with my results at this...

ipledge will tell you exactly when you can get your prescription filled. You have to first have your blood test, then see your derm and do all the ipledge crap THEN you can pick up your pills within ...

cetaphil cleanser and cerave moisturizer is my favorite. cetaphil is very light and doesn't even wash off the moisterizer but it's not drying and it says cleanser so it better be cleansing something.....

So glad you're doing better! I know exactly what you mean about the freakin' PIH. Red spots suck! But yup, much better than actual acne. Accutane is a life saver
