I'm a social butterfly, even when the acne was at its worst. At its worst I did hate my face, but knew that I've only got one life... so I'm going to live it, damnit! I've been working since 18 and ...

Oh man, I love mythology and would love to see the architecture in Greece. You're so lucky, Nessa!

Outside of the US I've been to Puerto Rico, Vieques (a tiny island off of PR), and the UK. Vieques was by far the most exotic and fun. Horses roam the island and go wherever they please from frolicki...

Oh wow. Totally missed that part! Thanks, Lapis.

elainee, just be up front with him if it's worrying you so much. He'll still think you're beautiful, especially if you behave like yourself when with him. Meh, blow it off or make light of it. Blame y...

Getting to drive a baby F1 car this sunday. Getting back into shape this year after injury. Going on cruise around the Caribbean end of the year Definitely take some sunscreen!! 1. Going to live sh...

I can really relate...all my friends and quite a few guys tell me they think I'm beautiful, and while I don't think I am hideous, I think I'm a pretty average looking person, when people say I'm gorge...

heitea, your skin looks wonderful and your happiness definitely shows. Wonderful news! Thanks for sharing with us.

Over the years I've read here that many many members respond better to topicals after Accutane. Perhaps you may need to use a topical as preventative maintenance. That's something you could discuss wi...

As your skin dries out they'll likely appear to be bigger, but don't fret! That's a good thing. Sometimes you can feel them if you touch your face. Use your fingertips gently while showering and they'...

Ugh, yeah, went through that, too. Aside from drinking lots of water, try using only moisturizing conditioner when washing your hair. Shampoo is way too drying for some of us on this stuff. As long as...

"I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows."   Haha! Brilliant.

Darn. I can only 'like' this once.

Dang. The issue must've been a doozie. Hope you two get it worked out. There are times i think i really like it and there are times i think it's just not me. However i am not giving up. I am at le...

Mine still tends to get dry during the winter. 3 years post.

michi, hi there. I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time with this. Adult acne most certainly sucks! I'm 35 with a 17 year old daughter. When The Evil Spawn was 8 she drew a picture of mommy. ...

I don't think it's wrong to look, Nicky. It's natural. Depending on arrangements amongst relationship partners, it may even be ok to touch. There's a whole spectrum of relationships to fit what people...

Yep yep. Totally normal. It's a very slow working drug so try not to lose hope. Your skin may purge off and on (for some folks it's continuous until after the course).

You're fine. It's nice you're so concerned. Congratulations to you and your soon to be family.

Hey there. Yes, it should improve. "Tane Face" is common while on the drug, but usually subsides when the course is over. I had the raccoon eyes, too, as well as clown lips (red around the mouth). Att...

Pfft. I have a life and still post here.

I can definitely see improvement!   You still seem so sensitive to the BP for now. When your skin gets accustomed are you contemplating the AHA+? That will definitely help with the hyperpigmenta...

I do have a question though: For those of you who use Dan's AHA+, HOW do you use it? I haven't figured out how to incorporate it into my regimen. Apply BP, wait 15-20 minutes, apply AHA+, wait 15-20...

Woot! Go Kai! Go Kai!

Having this sort of breakout when stopping antibiotics and switching to Accutane is common. Getting really oily before drying up is normal, too. It will get better, but this is a slow working drug. Ha...
