I'm on Accutane, and I was getting little bumps all on my lips. My dermatologist said they were caused by dry skin from my acne medication. I've been just applying Cetaphil lotion to keep the area moi...

I'm not sure how helpful this is to you, but I'm very depressed myself, so you aren't alone in it. I've been on Accutane for 2.5 months and so far, no improvement at all. My skin looks terrible, I avo...

I'm on my third box of Accutane, so almost three months into the treatment. I'm on 60mg which appropriate for my weight. But it isn't working. There will be days that I don't get new spots, then sudde...

I hate birth control. I don't have PCOS, but birth control makes me moody, and the IUD gave me infections. I do know that Spironolactone (a diuretic) can work wonders for women with hormonal PCOS acne...

IIDUO, I hope you're seeing some improvement by now. I can't sit here and say that I'm completely in the clear at this point, but I think that I may have crossed the hardest part of the treatment. Abo...

Monday I begin my 3rd month of Accutane. I saw my dermatologist today, who was disappointed in my progress. I've been having breakout after breakout, and I have some cysts on my forehead, some inflame...

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. It works wonders and was recommended by my dermatologist.

I like Retin-A-Micro for that type of acne. There are different strengths and they were pretty easy on my skin. I have/had pretty severe acne, so I use Accutane now, but for mild acne, I'd shoot for a...

I never got one. The only hormonal treatment that made me break out was the Nuvaring. That breakout you had yesterday wouldn't be from Spironolactone. It takes more than a few hours for a medication l...

I've had acne for 18 years. Long enough that I hardly remember NOT having it. I've done all of the topicals, peels, antibiotics, and hormonal methods. I've even done special diets and changed all of m...

Thanks all for your responses. I'm still feeling pretty lousy, pretty sad and self-conscious. I have a red ring around my lips, nothing is making them better. I've tried everything I can possibly thin...

So, I started on 40mg of Accutane in March. Two weeks ago, I started 60mg. So far, the whole thing has been a nightmare. My lips are so dry and raw, that I wake up multiple times a night to put on cha...

I'm sure that this has been written about repeatedly, and I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I am in some serious need of some suggestions from all of you Accutane experts out there. My lips are o...

Lips: I like Dr. Dan's Cortibalm and ChopSaver Skin: Cetaphil gets rid of my dry ski and eczema

Spironolactone worked for me for a little while. I was on 100mg once a day. Generally if Spironolactone is going to work for you, it will work at 100mg. Studies have shown that taking anything beyond ...

1. I don't know the answer to this 2. It's helping with my hyperpigmentation. And any pimples I do get on Accutane, go away almost immediately 3. Your acne (if it comes back) certainly will not be as ...

I really do think that for your type of acne, Accutane is going to be your best bet. Hair loss with Accutane (according to my dermatologist) is very rare. I'm on it, my brother was on it, my uncle was...

I had my dermatologist appointment this afternoon, and it came at a good time. I'm not really sure what's going on with my immune system right now, but I have impetigo, a staph infection in a finger, ...

I'm about a month in, and oh what a rough road it's been. My acne skin is much better than it was before. At the moment I have about four active pimples; not too shabby. But the medication itself has ...

My breakouts are starting to stop now at about 2.5 weeks in. I never got an initial flare up. My lips are super chapped, I have painful cracks at the corners of my mouth, and my skin is flaky and dry.

I've been on Accutane for a little over two weeks, and within the past few days I've been getting angular cheilitis (the cuts on the corners of my mouth). In addition to that, I'm getting these weird ...

Yesterday was my 7th day of Accutane. Surprisingly, it seems to be working quickly. I haven't had any new spots appear in a couple of days, and the old ones are starting to vanish.  My fri...

I have major depressive disorder that started way before I started Accutane. If anything, Accutane helped alleviate my depression, because the stress from my persistent acne disappeared when Accutane ...

I've had acne for 18 long years. I put off going on Accutane for much longer than I should have. I've been on every cream, diet, and pill known to man, and nothing, NOTHING had made a bit of differenc...

I think milk may exacerbate acne in SOME people. But I would hardly classify it as a cure. Truthfully, I think it's just a coincidence that your acne cleared when you were eating poorly. I'm a pretty ...
