I just finished a course of accutane and my skin is looking loads better apart from scars. It's my absolute dream to one day feel comfortable going out without make up on and I'm wondering if there's ...

Hi, I'm just finishing a course of accutane (6 months, mild but very persistent acne, variable dose peaking at 100mg) and my dermatologist has given me differin as a maintenance treatment to try kee...

eek that's scary I took it when I was 17 at 60mg a day and it eventually worked (different dermatologist, straight in at 60mg), this time (acne came back but on my lower face rather than forehead) its...

Does this sound high to anyone? I just picked it up but had like 3 pharmacists come out and quiz me about the dosage so now I'm worrying! did 1 month on 40, one on 60, two on 80 and now been prescribe...

how weird, i was feeling slightly better about mine today too.. I changed moisturiser and i think that helped a lot also can answer your question - yes definitely! I took accutane when i was 17 for ac...

same deal! started in September 40mg for one month, 60 for one month and now 80, and I literally look no different to the start except every now and then it looks like my entire face is going to peel ...

coconut oil! treat it like any other scab (i.e. try and leave it alone), and rub coconut oil up there at any opportunity, really helped me with the pain as it makes it a bit more flexible and elastic....

oh my gosh your progress is amazing! Your skin has cleared up so much, I know it's hard because although having fewer spots is great you might not feel any better about your skin overall, but that red...

sorry I didnt realise you'd replied! I have found it surprisingly easy actually. I started drinking my coffee black and got used to that pretty quickly, and then cappucino etc tastes pretty similar wi...

My dermatologist recently bumped up my accutane dosage to 80mg per day and was just wondering if anyone else had been on a dose that high/had any advice for side effects that might crop up? I quit dri...

I'm about 7 weeks into my second course of accutane so I feel your pain! The first time round it worked for my teenage acne across my forehead, but since then I developed adult acne around my mouth an...

the redness will definitely fade, the pockmarks its less certain but as you say from a distance they are much less noticeable, particularly when your skin is less red I have had scars that were bumpy ...

Yes I would say so as it is moisturising as opposed to harsh or drying, but check with the doctor if you're concerned

I promise you they will! I had lots of scars all over my forehead from acne and they have definitely faded. You might have to wait until you finish taking the accutane as it dries your skin and scars ...

what makes you say that? when i had it previously it seemed to have a pretty good effect but did not completely clear

Hey everyone, I've struggled with acne since I was 12, and now at 23 it's been showing no signs of leaving. I've tried tetracyclin, lymecyclin, duac, other topical creams, different contraceptive pil...

I've had acne for as long as I can remember, starting out on my forehead when I was a teenager and now at 23 mostly over my cheeks and around my mouth/jaw. Its always bothered me and I've not properly...
