Keep up the positive thinking. And remember, if you wake up one day and feel so down, just shoot a message. Sometimes just hearing other people and relating to them makes you feel better ) Today I'...

Ah, Okay...I see. Makes sense now. But you're right, they probably think that its severe enough to get you on the full dose right away. I'd say my acne is more moderate or moderate/severe. Its just on...

Well I won't be able to tell if the red dots are acne or just scars from previous acne, I'd have to see em. Accutane will clear it all, its just going to take time. That's the bummer part of it. I kno...

Hang in there! i know its hard. But you need to really mentally prepare yourself for this. Accutane in itself has side effects and you may see your acne get worse before it gets better. I'm on accutan...

Yeah I remember those days in trying to fill out my prescription. OH and the doctor doing something to get the iPledge working every month so that I can access it! sheesh!! Annoying. That's why i was ...

Havefaith22, There is orthotricyclen Lo and just the regular ortho. I am not sure if you're in the US or not but the ortho Lo does not have a generic but the regular one does. The regular one is muc...

Heitea...thanks for the pointers! I'll try to keep that in mind when it gets tempting to just push the suckers open. But I do agree with you to absolutely NOT touch the ones that don't come to a white...

Well, I have the red marks too on my face. I've tried tea tree oil, mederma, and honey. Honestly it hasn't worked. I recently bought a glycolic 10% cream and it seems to help a bit. I've only used it ...

Havefaith 22, I was reading through your posts and I noticed that you started taking Loestren 24. There are only a few birth control pills that help acne and that's not one of them. That could be on...

Brownilocks, I so feel for you! I am also on accutane (second time). My acne came back with a vengeance its not even funny! I too have noticed that what would normally be a cyst has now turned into a...

I actually have the exact same thing on my right cheek. It began as three stuck together and every once in a while one of the three, or sometimes two, would swell up. Now, however, they've been turnin...

Hi Prowler Junky, I'm glad the ultra low dose is working for you!. I'm still waiting for mine to kick in. I am however on 20 mg a day for persistent moderate to severe acne that doesn't want to go aw...

Thanks Akanel....I really needed those words of encouragement! Its funny though, I really don't remember this on my first try at accutane at all! Some of the buggers actually came to a white head thr...

Hey myroaccutaneromance, I noticed your blog while surfing through acne.org. I just started taking accutane three weeks ago and just started my fourth week. This is actually my second try at accutane...

Man, I'm on birth control thats suppose to prevent acne for years now, on antibiotics, and accutane....why this mess?!!

Oh my god....woke up this morning with EIGHT cysts!!!! 4 on each side of my face ((( I can't believe this! I never used to get acne on my left cheek either ;-(( I am SOOO depressed today its not even...

Thanks Akanel, It's honestly nice to have someone to relate to going through my second course of Accutane. I appreciate it, a lot! So, I've noticed that I'll wake up one day and see a 'good' face in...

Thanks Akanel for responding. Your situation seems very similar to mine. The acne I have is located on my cheeks and lower chin too. I mean, I wouldn't call it bad, but I just never use to have this ...

Thanks Akanel for your response! I appreciate that ) And Thanks for the tips that you gave me though! I have been taking vitamin E and Vitamin D with calcium (I have low vit D). I drink as much as I ...

Ok, so I noticed that many of your posts are about two months old, but what the heck. A little about me. I used to be considered to have moderate acne that was only on my face. I have also taken 6 ...
