Day 46! I'm gonna be updating every 10th day from now on, since the in-between is fairly the same. I have a cystic acne growing near my lip, and one on my chin. My jawline and forehead are still bump...

HA, I've been looking at the super sized lotions on Amazon as well. I'll have to try CeraVe out. I have noticed that my scalp is a bit dry, especially in the side burn areas. Luckily I work from home ...

  I actually use the cerave on my body too! I have a tub in my room and a tub in my bathroom for after I shower! How is your scalp? Mine was really itchy when I started accutane, but its actua...

I agree with megtree! Get a moisturizer! I usually apply moisturizer after rinsing my face in the morning, after I shower and before I sleep. I was an oily mess too! I didn't stop being oily until.. m...

Day 40, 41, 42 That golf ball sized cystic acne is finally going down. I have two on my chin from a few weeks ago. I still have a lot of closed comedones on my forehead and jawline. No other pain tha...

Hey Acne30! If you can get your hands on Cerave Moisturizing Cream (the one in the tub) it'll really help with the dryness! I believe I used it around my 5th day or so, and in a couple of days, all th...

Day 38 & 39 No new changes. I actually noticed that I have a lot of closed comedones in my chin/jawline area. My forehead has them too... but they aren't as bad as before I started accutane.

For the nausea, try taking accutane with a scoop of peanut butter. Or take it after eating a handful of nuts : ) Peanut butter/nuts also help with hair growth and nail strength! A win-win situation h...

Day 37/Oct 30 I feel like my log is very repetitive. Is anyone finding them useful? Well, I guess its for myself too. Anyways, nothing new to report today. I did get a new pimple on top of my lip... ...

Day 35/ Oct 28 The cysts are definitely flattening out. When washing my face, they still hurt though. Day 36/ Oct 29 I didn't notice before but I still have a lot of closed comedones around my jaw. ...

34/Oct27 Things are flattening out. I just noticed that I haven't had an active spot on my back, even when I had my period, although the scars on my face seem to fade faster. I had a couple of spots ...

Day 33/Oct 26 I feel like the 50mg is already working. My cysts have flattened out. Well, they're still bumpy but way less than the previous 3 days. While washing my face, everything is a lot smoothe...

Day 32 - Oct 25 Two of the cystic acne has calmed down, but one got bigger. I still have dry lips and skin. I will probably go pick up a better body moisturizer tomorrow. I had to take off my ring be...

Oct 24 - Day 31 I saw my dermatologist today & got upped to 50mg. My blood work was all good! Yay! There's a total of 5 cystic acne on my face now. 4 in my chin area and 1 by my cheek

Clearly, I'm out of my pills, which means that I've hit day 30. I documented something wrong... oops! Day 30! My skin (body) is getting more dry now, I'm starting to moisturize. Yes, that cystic acne...

Cysts won't stop bleeding once you pop them while on accutane. At least that's what happened with me. Your blood clots less because accutane decreases the number of platelets in it. Well, it also d...

Day 26 That one cyst under my chin hurts a lot. When I'm washing my face in the shower, I can feel these small tiny bumps under my skin. I've always felt these but more currently, some of them had a ...

Day 25 The cysts are flattening out now, the bump is still prominent but much smaller than it was yesterday. I have a smal spot on my forehead but in general, my forehead is smooth now. I still have a...

Day 24. No new cysts, but I'm going to say that I got cysts because my cycle has just started. Hopefully when it ends, the cysts will delfate & not come back again for my next cycle. I'm feeling b...

Day 23! Woke up with another cyst on my chin. This once is right on the bottom so you can feel it. The bump isn't visible since its underneath. My foundation has never applied this nicely before. I'm ...

Day 22.. end of day update Somehow, 2 more cysts have made their way onto my chin, so thats 3 in total. Painful to talk!

Day 22 - Oct 14! Early update today! So the cystic acne on my chin is the size of a golfball. It is really painful & and did not pick at it -- I don't pick at cystic acne, ever. I did, however, p...

Day 21 - October 13 I woke up today with my face and lips dry. My face was more dry than usual, I may need to double up on the moisturizer to see how well it lasts throughout the night. I have two c...

Hi skaims, thanks for reading and replying!   My skin is pretty much the same (in other words, OILY! -_-) as are my lips. However, I have noticed that in the past couple of hours I've started to...
