Just an update, Tazorac maintenance therapy has been working really well for me. My face is completely clear other than scarring/pigmentation. I use Tazorac every day, and moisturize a lot... and us...

Honestly it seemed to be less effective this time around. I remember after finishing my first course, my skin was absolutely perfect, blemish free. I'll post periodic updates on how things go since ...

Some new pictures in high resolution.

Okay, so the Tazorac has been helping... I'm pretty clear again like I was at the end of the tane. BUT my face is peeling, even if i use it like every third day. I think I'm using too much, but it's...

Caused a lot of peeling... I thought I could handle the topical retinoid after Accutane. Anyway, gave it a few days off and reapplied Tazorac today and moisturized. I've got like 3 of those lump und...

I started up the Tazorac agressively again. My dermatologist said the accutane wouldn't help with the whiteheads, and that I would need to use that. But I just thought the accutane should be 'fixing...

Well, I've been done my 3rd course for only a few weeks, and well, for the past few days, I've had 3 really nasty pimples come up, you know the big lumpy, sore kind you can feel way before they surfac...

The next few weeks will be the proudest of your life

Thanks Tim, I think you're going to look great too! So, it's been a few days since it's been out of my system, and I think my face is looking great. Check it out!

So tim, are you just about done? I finished my last pills a few days ago.

Thanks Tyrean, I just finished up... hopefully my skin stays clear and nice I would think keflex would make your skin more clear instead of less, but everyone's different. If the only problem you h...

So, I took my last pill of my third Accutane course (80mg qd), and here are today's pictures attached. I do currently have what looks like a skin infection or allergic reaction on the back of my hand...

I have about 4 pills left. My dermatologist told me to keep using my Tazorac on my forehead and part of my cheek that gets whiteheads.

Hendrawan, I think accutane is the strongest, most permanent thing we have. It gave me limited complete remission, but although its come back, it's never come back as bad as it was before I took the ...

Well, my skin is looking great! But my derm keeps saying I need to use tazorac every night for the whiteheads. And I do get a few whiteheads. I'm wondering if it's necessary to use the tazorac at t...

Right on, Richard B. I finished my last dose about a month ago and am clear as a bell. i feel alot better now too. That's awesome fotoguy, are you using any topicals or routines since you finished t...

18 Days Left I'm starting to get compliments from people asking me what i've been doing with my face because it's looking really clear and smooth. Using Tazorac also, per my derm. Overall I'm reall...

At this rate, I will finish my course in 5 months, 23 days. Should I drag it out a little longer so it's at least 6 months?

The first picture is from May 3 after kenalog injections, and the second picture is from today, almost 4 months later

22 Days Left Here are some current pictures, I think it's looking pretty good... my skin is bumpy but nothing new or inflamed.

One thing I've noticed is that once you actually *start* accutane, you start noticing and examining every microscopic part of your face. Remember to continue being kind to yourself

Yep, water and ibuprofen for the headaches. Up to 800mg ibuprofen is good at a time, if needed, but it's cleared by the liver, so in combination with accutane too much could drive up your liver enzym...

That does look really good, it's like night and day!

I wish you all the best in your treatment. Why are you only doing 4 months? Didn't you learn your lesson about quitting your medicine early? ) Seriously, since 20mg and 40mg are such low doses, you...

The nosebleed is accutane related. Try putting a dab of vasoline on your finger and put it in your nose on your septums (the divider between your nostrils). That will keep it moist. When that tissu...
