Day 64: Clear skin! I haven't had a breakout in a couple of weeks, plus I haven't had a single spot in over a week. Knock on wood though, I'm sure I'll have some mild-moderate breakouts here and th...

I experience the same thing with my nose. I did on my first round as well.

You have become resistant to the antibiotics. This happened to me as well but it only took 2 months. I would recommend Accutane.

Right before I started my first round of Accutane I actually quit my job because I couldn't stand another second of working in customer service with bad acne. I was severely depressed and it really to...

I'd wait at least a month. I got a couple spots for about 3 weeks after my first course, then they went away entirely. That being said, if you're still breakout out 1-2 months afterwards I wouldn't w...

Day 52: Well I was very lucky to have cleared up nicely just in time for Christmas. I haven't had any breakouts in over a week. I'm happy that I'm finally seeing results, unfortunately my side effect...

If you only just started dating I wouldn't suggest delving too deep into any type of discussion about insecurity. If this type of breakout isn't common for you and you believe that it is only tempor...

On my first round I was clear after roughly 2 weeks. I didn't have a pimple for 2 months, then suddenly broke out for 3 months straight. Accutane is really weird. I don't mean to sound negative but do...

First round I didn't get a severe IB but I got the white spots you are mentioning. It happens because your skin is purging everything to the surface. They never became bigger and eventually went away ...

How are you doing Sarah? Im on day #11 at 60 mg and I'm in breakout #2. Pimples are hurting so much!!!! Even if they are few, they are so ugly and painful that it feels way worst! Apart from this bad...

How long have you been on 60 mg? 9 days? I am on my 5th day on 60 mg and I can see breakout #2 on the way. I just hope it does not get so bad as breakout #1 and that it will not last long. Don't give...

Day 39: Ugh, I'm breaking out so bad. I can only assume that it's due to the dose increase. It's the holidays and I want to be spending time with family but I'm embarrassed and staying in complete is...

Sarah, I know how you feel, but remember you are in the worst moment... Don't give up before you start seeing results!! I think it's just particularly hard because this is my second time and I didn'...

I've had flushing for 5 months post Accutane. I'm now on it again and the flushing is 10x worse.

I know I'm only on my second month but I've lost all patience at this point. I refuse to spend another day hating how I look and thereby hating myself.

With all due respect nobody particularly likes side effects, but they put up with them because the positive outweighs the negative. If it has worked magic on your skin, that's great news! Keep in mind...

Cetaphil gentle cleanser is definitely the way to go. As far as moisturizer I'd suggest Cetaphil as well. I don't slather moisturizer on though - I put small amounts where I see any flaky/dry skin. If...

You're saying you want to stand up for yourself instead of ignoring them or being the bigger person. Standing up for yourself, however, isn't accomplished successfully by throwing an equally cruel ins...

I had perfect skin up until I was 17, when I started getting mild acne. It was no big deal, but it slowly got worse over the course of a year. When I was 18, it completely blew up and became an absolu...

During my first round of Accutane I didn't clear up until 3-4 months in. Then I had clear skin for 1-2 months, but after that I would randomly get huge cystic breakouts. At this point I was on 60mg an...

Day 30 - 1 month. My dose has been bumped up to 60mg which I began 2 days ago. My skin hasn't showed significant improvement compared to when I started, however things are looking a lot better than t...

A lot of people advise discussing the matter with him, but honestly, I think it can be a mistake to expose your lack of confidence. There's some truth to the notion that a person is as attractive as h...

Hello, During my last 2 months of Accutane treatment I had random instances of cystic acne (I never had cystic acne before that happened). I was very concerned because up until then my skin had clear...

Did you make any lifestyle changes before your skin broke out recently? Did you go off birth control within the past year? It might be helpful to think about that sort of thing. I would suggest tryi...

^ You two need to take this banter elsewhere because there is a heavy emotional problem that is being discussed here, and any additional conflict is not only irrelevant but also unfair to this young w...
