@dan which parts of musculosceletal system was affected in your case?

I just bought glcosamine sulfate and chondroitine sulfate. The problem is even though I stopped Accutane 8 months ago the situation with my pelvis is deteriorating at a speedy rate. I was ok 2 years a...

I'm off Accutane last 8months. And am kind of ok with no sugar diet. Over 11years I took like 70 boxes (10mg x 30pills). It is a lot, but on my weight the standard 6mo course is like 50boxes (so ove...

Posted by: @Dan You used it for 7-8 years!? That is an extremely long time. Are you still on it? I used it for just the usual 5-6 months back in the day and my joints were so inflamed and painful. I ...

I have similar experience. 10mg/day was working perfectly for 4-5 years. After that it just destroys skin, although it does prevent trunk/scalp acne. Try switching to ling term myonocycline/amoxicill...

32y.o. Used accutane 10mg/day (on my 85kg, that is around 0.1mg/kg of body weight) on and off for like 7-8 years and developed ligament/tendon calcifications (enthesopathy) and osteoarthritis in hips....

32y.o. Used accutane 10mg/day (on my 85kg) on and of for like 7-8 years and developed ligament calcifications and osteoarthritis in hips. Perhaps also in other areas of the body. Cannot run, and have ...

@tracus It did not. I kept using accutane since then on/off until 3-4 months ago. Skin still very sensitive to wind and cold weather.

@giveback Hi. I have exact situation under the mouth and on chin. Male, started when I was 28y. Also hair getting lost in the chin, neck and mustache area due to inflammation. Long term Accutane...

The same happened to me from Accutane 3 years ago on my left cheek in a semicircular shape (but less prominent than yours). I used Accutane for a long time (very low dose, 10mg/day, without side-ef...

Be very careful with petroleum-jelly. Might make you break out strong. Test first for a week or two! Not really recommened for acne-prone skin.

Minocycline is pretty much slightly stronger version than Doxycycline. It keeps acne at bay during usage, but not a long term solution. Accutane should likely also help you if you decide to use it....

I have the same. They seem to be confined on the chin (and nose a bit). From what I read in the papers these are called "papular acne scars" and they seem to be underrated. Antibiotics (tetracyclin...

I had a terrible waxy, sticky skin when on 40mg/day for two months during very hot summer. I usually took 10mg/day. The effect went away couple of months after stopping accutane. But my skin changed i...

Why don't you ask that to the dermtologist? How did them diagnose that it is candida and malassezia fungal infection? Did they run any tests (culture, light device), or just by looking with plain e...

Well. I don't know if cumulative dose is counted over the course of 10 years (low dose usage of isotretinoin). Might be either: - the cumulative dose over very long period of low dose usage, - ...

Now even 10mg is too strong for me and destroys my skin. Especially during winter. Even 10mg every other day is too strong. I'm 31, how old are you? I might try 5mg every other day now. Yes, acn...

I had greate experience from long term (5 years) low dose (10mg) accutane with pauses in between courses. Up until the age of 27, where I increased the dose to 40mg and basically impacted my skin in a...

How is it going? As far as I know acne scars are, as of today, still hard to improve significantly. So we are all waiting for scientific improvements in that field . I think it is impor...

I didnt have experience that it causes a purge (if you mean initial worsening). On the other hand it is very common that its overuse (like more than twice a week) it causes severe peeling, redness and...

I had some experience that high doses (30-40mg on hot weather actually worsened my acne). 5mg-10mg doses works best for me. Also it is not true what george above says that it is taken 8-18 mon...
