Hey there, everyone! Just checking in because I know it's been a while. College has kept me from updating or even checking in often. You forget things here! Just to update people, my face is doing exc...

Hey everyone, So I finally went to a new derm today and she upped my accutane dose and told me not to take those antibiotics. I will now be taking 40mg per day instead of the 20. I'm bracing myself be...

So that huge cyst or what ever it is that I said has been on my right cheek since October has turned into one huge white head along with 2 small ones right under it and a really BIG one right under th...

I understand that your acne has plagued everything. I was like that too. But sometimes its the way we control our thoughts that will help. When you start to think about the acne just tell yourself to ...

Blabla05, you're going through exactly what I went through. So I feel your pain, I REALLY do! I know it just feels REALY bad that you see absolutely NO progress. I am only assuming that I'll have anot...

Hey everyone, So I finally went to a new derm today and she upped my accutane dose and told me not to take those antibiotics. I will now be taking 40mg per day instead of the 20. I'm bracing myself b...

I know how it feels blabla05! You will see for the first few months that you take one step forward then three steps back. I'm still getting breakouts and I'm on my eighth week ( I have the same issue ...

Yeah I am still on 20mg. I'm on week eight with no improvement so far. Today was a rough day. Pimples are disgustingly red and my face is extremely dry that it hurts. That cyst on my cheek just doesn'...

Sorry for responding so late. I've been super busy over the holidays. So how's your not picking going? You know I've been better at it. I'll tell you what I do. I am still breaking out terribly ( So ...

Thanks Akanel. I'm still pretty bad on the face. It's really kind of weird this time around on accutane. I'm starting to think that there's something bacterial that cephalexin isn't good for. It's ju...

Hey blabla05 .... Sorry for responding SO late. Holidays and all had me pretty much occupied. So how has it been so far? I keep getting breakouts that just don't want to stop ;-( This time around ...

Yay! That's good to hear. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

yeah, I'm itchy as I'm writing this message. It's probably just dry skin. I usually put some cold water on it to soothe it down or just use hydrocortisone cream which tames the itch for me.

I think my derm thinks that if I go on antibiotics that it'll reduce the swelling of the pimples I have. I guess he expected more of an improvement but sees that its still pretty swollen. I think he w...

Yes you will be! Just take it easy. I went to the derm today and he wants me to stop taking Accutane and go on doxycycline!!! What the heck! I'm resistant to the drug but he still wants me too. I'm ...

I'm sorry about the little break out. Hang in there. Like I said before, the beginning you will see some more pimples than usual. But its great that you're taking the solone and hopefully what ever br...

you didn't mention what anti inflam the doc prescribed? I'm curious. I'm going to my derm in a few days and may ask him about something like that. The soar throats are not in your head. I had that t...

Only symptoms I have so far is the dry lips and occasional joint discomfort but nothing that bothers me much. It's just the continuous cycle of getting pimples and it hasn't come to a stop. Not sure w...

Yeah they go by fast especially when you keep yourself busy. I'm wrapping up my five weeks and will be starting my sixth this Friday. Still got 4 active ones. Blah. When one goes, another comes up t...

Yeah I know how that feels. But it seems you caught it early and hopefully you'll be rid of it soon. As harsh as this sounds I actually use a lactic acid peel every once in a while. It hasn't helped t...

Well that's good that the doc gave you other medications. Most people that are on antibiotics or other meds while starting accutane either don't have a break out or have mild ones. I was not on any ot...

Your's looks SO much like mine. Most of my acne is on my right cheek only too. Well that's how it started but then a few weeks into accutane I got acne on my left cheek too ( but not as bad as my righ...

Goodness, began week 5 and not much improvement except for the fact that the pimples that come (still 4-5 at a time) are smaller and come to a white head faster then they did before. Is that a good si...

Well...remember things will be bumpy for the first few months. Just think of it as all the nasty stuff coming out once and for all! I'm on week 5 and I still get acne popping up! I already got 4 NEW a...

Blue veins on your breasts?! I've never heard of that. I got a few spider veins on my legs that I know is from the pill but not sure about the breast part. hmm....when's your next doc appointment? Or ...
