I am wondering if that's what I need to do as well. I've struggled with mild acne - enough to make me self conscious all the time - especially in the summer with tank tops, etc. I get it on my chest...

I started taking DIM - I've struggled with mild acne since my teens and now have hormonal acne. Tried everything even Accutane. I'm 35. Anyway, lately I've decided to skip the derm and figure this...

I"m so glad to hear you're doing better.

I hadn't heard of chelitis before! After reading about it on wikipedia I'm guessing this is definitely what it is. I am not taking accutane anymore (made the choice to stop early) and also one of th...

I did too. Totally understand.

yes if it were me I would make sure to watch my blood work like a hawk. I personally wouldn't be comfortable with a dose that high. But I wasn't comfortable with 80 mg per day either. I'm currently...

Unfortunately only you can make this choice. My acne wasn't too bad, but I've been self conscious about it for years. I'm 34 I finally decided to give it a try. It has worked wonders for me. My de...

I am 34 and finishing up my first course. I put it off for many years because my acne was not so bad. But at 34 and after 2 kids I've had enough and tired of only wearing shirts that go all the way ...

I'm about 80% of the way thru my couse with accutane. I really haven't had many problems. I'm on 60 mg/day. All of a sudden this weekend I got these little bumps on my lips. Tiny little bumps, all...

nope not at all. I miss doses all the time and have had a great outcome. Like the PP said it's about the cumulative dose. In fact my derm took me off it for 5 days bc I was having bad stomach aches...

Obviously, if you can avoid going on accutane I would.   Personally I've had a great experience with it but I know there are lots of bad ones as well. Bottom line is that it's a serious drug a...

Thanks guys. I appreciate your feedback. Yes, I mean just colds. I rarely get sick. In fact other than a slight common cold or allergies I don't think I've had a virus or anything like that in yea...

I really want to stop accutane at 105 mg/kg. My skin is completely clear and other than stiffness my side effects have been minimal. I cleared quickly. But I've been getting sick left and right and...

I got my packet for ipledge from my dr. They gave me my info to get in and set up my acct. Here are the steps I have to follow each month: 1- bloodwork 2 - dr appt ..who after seeing me and reviewi...

I had dry scalp initially. It was flaky and so itchy and sensitive. I switched to WEN conditioning cleanser. It really moisturizes your scalp and also I put oil (Marrakesh sp?) on the ends of my ha...

Yes now I'm 1/2 way thru and everything is still going great. Completely clear. I can't wait to be done! Good luck

I forgot I had some WEN left. I didn't used to like it very much because my hair was oily and the WEN didn't really get all the oil out as much as I wanted it to. But now, I'm loving it! Since I st...

I think that's a personal decision you have to make. I'm afraid if you quit and you still have your acne you'll wish you would have completed your course. That would be frustrating. And then if yo...

Face: I really like the Aveeno Moisture bar to wash my face. Lotion I'm using Exuverance Repairing Lotion (it's new - I like it so far but it's more than I usually spend at $40ish) and vaseline aro...

My scalp is so dry. I am washing my hair about every 4 or 5 days. I'm on day 30 of accutane. Any suggestions for a dry scalp? Most of the products out there are for dry hair, but not specifically ...

If I didn't break out on my chest and back I probably wouldn't be on accutane. I'm on about day 30, my face didn't really break out any more than usual, maybe one or two medium sizes places. But my ...

Gotcha, Well I'm happy to be on it for now. At day 16, my side effects are no big deal yet and I can already tell a HUGE difference in my skin. Nothing is breaking me out even though I'm slathering ...

I use carmex in the squeeze tube. I also use Avon chapsticks and Sprout (a natural one that I had to order online. You can find it at Birchbox.com and I really like it)

I am on day 15 and my eyes are red and dry. I use eyedrops sometimes, maybe once a day if I remember. It seems to help when I do use them. I should carry them in my purse! I also notice my vision ...

I am 34 and I've had hormonal acne for years. At times during the month my skin will be perfectly clear. And for about 2 weeks out of the month I have mild-moderate breakouts. I'm so tired of it an...
