Day 89, just about to finish the 3rd month. Acne is almost perfect, just the odd small spot on my back. Genuinely can't believe the difference it has made within 90 days, never would've thought it cou...

Day 81 - acne wise pretty good. The aforementioned spots on my neck are all fading fast and no new ones have surfaced. But holy hell my nose is killing me...constantly dry and crusty with dried snot...

Day 77 (missed a day coz i was constantly busy and didnt get home). Huge spot on the back of my neck (big / red / swollen / painful) Then a couple of other small ones, all of which are on my neck. F...

I don't do anything to them - no creams / antibiotics etc. Just use nivea shower gel that isn't oily twice a day to wash and that's it. Also don't EVER pick them anymore, which i used to do before sta...

Na stayed at 50 - because I'm skinny / not very heavt that was the highest the dermatoligist recommended going. But I feel that 50 is the perfect dose for me based on the results it has had in 2 and ...

Day 71 - my lips are absolutely killing me...just yawning / stretching my mouth wide is stupidly painful. They're constantly cracked and or bleeding, despite using the cream recommended. Happily take ...

Day 66 - that spot disappeared really fast and is now just a fading red mark. Dry, peeling skin came back with a vengance though. Thinking i ought to carry a small mirror around everywhere just so i ...

Day 64. Mostly alright though a fairly big spot has popped up on my chin. Other than that mostly okay. Shall see how bad it gets slash how long til it's gone.

Day 62 - (was away so missed about a week of meds and only got to the derm for a topup the other day).   Two words: miracle drug! I can't believe how my skin looks atm, havent had a single spot...

I'm currently two months into my first (and hopefully only!) isotretinoin treatment and already notice i massive change compared to how it was before - while it still isn't completely gone this in its...

I live in switzerland so we have this 'chapstick' called labello. The normal one was pretty much useless but now i use the moisture-boosting one which is slightly better. I'll ask the derm for suggest...

Day 56 - daring to think that maybe things are getting better - not one new spot / cyst since the last post, and the ones i did have then are definitely healing and getting smaller. Dryness has reache...

Day 48 - noticed the skin on my arms is getting to be really dry now - have a number of red patches where the skin has completely dried out and started to scab over. Nothing dramatic but extremely itc...

Good luck! I'm 43 days into my treatment after years (broke out when i was about 17, now i'm 25) of horrendous skin and i know the pain of being ashamed of the way it looks. 'Off-hand' comments from p...

Hey all. Started my Isotretinoin treatment at the start of the new year, so am now onto day 43. I've had extremely severe acne since about 2005 (at the time I was 17, now I'm 25) - for the first few ...
