Hello everyone, so I've been getting spots here and there for about two months, specifically before my period. Anyways, I think I'm going to go back to the derm and ask to finish my course for another...

Hello everyone. I was very bored last night so I took a few pictures of myself. I have never taken full face photos until now. I am (I believe) 6 to 7 months post accutane. I was on 40 mg every day an...

Hi LipsLikeSugar - I was on 30mg/day for a month and my doc increased to 60 a couple of weeks ago. I have had horrible side effects from the 60. I was thinking of going back down, way down to 20mg...

hmmm I don't even know where to begin... I was taking 40 mg every day for two months and then got it lowered down to 20 mg for another two months. My face started clearing up from day 1. At month four...

So the weirdest thing happened. I went to my derm apt everything is fine and I'm getting my dosage lowered to 20 mg a day, so my course will need to be extended and that's fine with me... but she call...

Back on the accutane train, I didn't take my pills I think for a week in half because I could not get rid of that stupid cold that I had. I have four more 40 mg pills to finish, and then a derm apt on...

So I haven't taken my pills in 5 days since I had an event to go yesterday I didn't want dry flakey skin during the day.... is it weird that my skin within that time calms down and its not as dry? I h...

Month 2 Day 52 Whatever I had last week has returned and it really blows, I hate being sick. I really need to lower my dose. The only thing that really bothers me is just dry eyes, when I stopped ...

Month 2 Day 51 I feel like this is taking forever. Argh. Skin is really good I had a blackhead that I tried to take care of and now the surrounding area is red which sucks because my entire face is...

Thanks Jamie! I'm trying! Being off tane for those 5 days did me some good, the side effects went away and the dryness is unnoticeable... i hope it stays this way 😉

Thanks Ali Sorry I haven't written in a while for those of you who are following I got insanely sick for 4 days. I have never ever experianced anything like that in my entire life....I have never with...

Day 49 This is taking forever for me, I hate taking 40 mg every other day I just want to stick to 20 every day. I'm sick with some kind of awful cold/flu/fever thing so I haven't taken my 50th pil...

Wow! Anybody else think this new layout is kinda awesome!!?!?!

You're so sweet guttflower I wish I could take away all the acne in the world, I don't think others who don't suffer seriously understand the psychological damage it can cause. Even after I'm clear I ...

like saggy

What do you mean by loose forehead skin? Like old lady skin ;-(

And here's just a recap to compare that this drug is seriously amazing. I've only been on it for 2 months (taking it every other day) The dryness sucks and I worry about premature aging but hey.... no...

Month 2 Day 17 & 18 (47 & 48)   No new actives. Just red marks that are left from months and months prior to tane. I'm having some bad back pain but that could also be cause I've been sl...

Month 2 Week 6 Day 16 (Actually day 46)   I really hope dryness is normal. I have no flaking or peeling. I have one spot on my right side near my jawline so it must be hormonal I could be semi p...

Month 2 Day 15 Week 6 (total day 45)     -) I love vaseline! I don't care if it looks like im sweating all the time, I love the way it feels. My skin has improved so much since using it. I ...

If I'm not peeling or flaking but I know I'm dry as heck and I keep pounding on the moisturizer that means that I'm doing a good job of keeping my skin hydrated right?   I just want to know whats...

No worries girl. From the bottom of my heart I'm sorry my log sparked that kind of emotion from you. But pictures can lie. The texture of m skin is different. It almost looks like melted plastic. Some...

I picked at one on my forehead and now there's a scab there ;-( which sucks, I know better. Everything looks good, I just want to get off this medication and it's only two months in. ;-(   Gotta...

Month 2, Week 5, Days 13 & 14   In the past few days I've just been kinda down lately. I have 2 tiny actives on my forehead (super annoying) but hey it could be much much worse and I have be...

I feel like I've been on accutane for more than 2 months and 11 days and I have, because its 40 every other day. It really stinks I can't wait to get off this medication ;-( but i'm trying to stay pos...
