That's an awesome progression already! Awesome!!!

I'll do some progression pics. This is day 4ish. About 10 days in and those are the painful cysts on my cheeks. This is today. Day 14. The cysts are still there but no longer painful and appear t...

Today is Day 13 and no new spots. I still have two big ones on my cheek. I'm noticing flakiness around the bottom of my nose like I've been blowing it, only I haven't. I've been moisturizing every tim...

I've heard a lot of people suggest Dr. Dan's Cortibalm for the lips and the cracks on the side! I haven't used it, but it seems universally recommended.

Nope, just the normal burn that you usually get with non diluted TTO. Sometimes i wil put witch hazel on a cotton ball and drop a couple drops of tea tree oil on and rub it around my face. I seriously...

I am on day 26 of accutane and I spot treat with tea tree oil. The only "store bought" lotion I use it gold bond ultimate healing, the rest of the time I moisturize with essential oils and vitamin E. ...

I hope I can still use it! I bought a HUGE tub. If it gets too painful I'll switch to Avene Tolerance Extreme which I also have and is really mild. Hopefully I can get some use out of this stuff thoug...

"Then I made a followup appointment 1 month after when I got the original urine/blood tests done. (May 23)" That's exactly what I dreaded! I'll have to wait 1 month!!!! Unfortunately this is true. ...

So sorry about the cysts scar tissue! Hopefully your Dr. can take care of it. I'm also on Day 10 so it's interesting to read what's going to happen! Hang in there!

Oh boy I think I'm having an IB. Is it too early for that? I'm on day 10 of 40 mg. My face is a wreck! Probably double the cysts I usually have. I can tell I'm starting to dry out because my lips wi...

Today is Day 8. I usually break out on my jawline, but I have two new spots on my cheeks. They are small right now and I hope they stay that way. They do hurt though. So right now I have 5 active spot...

Lol my eye arsenal is outgrowing the lip one! I had styes when I was a little girl so maybe I'm just more susceptible to them now. How do you like the gel drops? I haven't tried those but maybe I need...

Most everything is the same today. My lips are definitely getting drier, but nothing terrible. I'm keeping them covered in my hoards of lip balms. I have about 5 cysts that aren't huge, and a few smal...

I'm really worried about having eye issues. I have dry eyes anyway so I'm trying to do drops as often as I think about it and the gel at night. I'm so susceptible to eye issues I feel like this is goi...

I have a few more breakouts but I think it's just normal spots and not IB. I prepared by buying a lot of products before getting my prescription. This is what I have on hand! Most of this stuff I rea...

I want to document everything on this journal for myself and anyone who wants to read about others experiences. I am a 37 year old woman who had great skin until about 29 when I had kids. After that...

I'm reading! Keep it up. I can't wait to join your ranks hopefully in a month. I'm dying to get the initial tests and stuff done! Oh and if you haven't found it Walgreens sells bag balm. It's in a squ...

Hi! I'm new to the forum and I'm hoping to start accutane within the next month. I have the first appointment Tuesday. I relate to your posts because I'm in my thirties as well. It seems most people o...
