I'm an adult male, but the 1st and 2nd month on Accutane was the worst for me. I broke out pretty bad. But after the first couple months you will begin to see major improvements! It's working, just gi...

Feel your pain! My back acne always seemed to get worse when weight lifting and exercising! I had acne in other places, so I decided to go on Accutane. Back acne finally starting to clear up...Such a ...

ACV is very acidic and I believe that when you do not dilute the ACV, you have a greater risk of having irritated, inflamed, red skin after applying. ACV doesn't really have any real evidence to back ...

Hey my course will be six months...At least that's the plan now. That could always change however.

Your skin looks much better. The only thing that I question, is why such a low dose? I'm at 80mg on my second month. With a low dose, the course is longer. So you may still see better results in the m...

Glad to hear you are making it through the initial breakout! It's difficult at first, but it gets better!

I had a pretty bad initial breakout too. Yours sounds pretty painful though due to the location. I freaked out a little and called my dermatologist, when I broke out badly, but they just said to wait ...

Thank you for sharing your story!

Umm I'd say your pharmacist goofed up . I have two boxes of 40mg for 30 days. Taking 1 40mg capsule twice a day for a total of 80mg a day. So if I wanted (but why would I?), I could take one 40mg a da...

Hey. I have read that Dianette can cause sebaceous glands to clog and become infected and therefore cause acne. So it's good that you stopped taking Dianette. The Duac should help your acne, but I wou...

Thanks for sharing your story! It really helps to hear what others are, or have, gone through! Thanks! I'm only on day 25, but hoping things will get better!

I was on Differin gel before Accutane. It was pretty expensive for me too, even with insurance...not quite as much as you paid though...that's just insane!

For me, a 30 day supply cost $20.00. $20 a month isn't too bad. Usually people are on Accutane for approx. 6 months. I work in the medical field and my insurance is alright. But I guess it depends on...

Hey, that's awesome that you will soon be starting Accutane! Best of luck! Accutane(Isotretinoin) is better absorbed if taken with a fatty meal. Therefore take it with the fattiest meal of the day (us...

Hey Bud. I used to tan before summer to get a base tan so that I would not burn. My skin tans pretty easily... However, I just started Accutane this month and I can tell you that I would definitely no...

My dermatologist said to me that whey protein does cause acne breakouts. Reason being...powdered protein mixes sometimes contain hormones because of everything put into the whey protein powders is not...

Thanks for all the posts! Just starting Accutane here! It really helps to read posts from others who have gone through the process! Thanks!

I enjoyed reading all of these comments! Every one of the comments is so true!! But hey, at least we are in it together! Still have to enjoy life while fighting the battle though!

Hey. I just started Accutane about 4 days ago. I'm not done with a full week of course, but my skin has broken out just a little. I've read where some people never have an initial breakout and some do...
