Hope you keep improving! Music really can get ya through anything, huh? It's gotten me through so much.

Day 75 I think i may have turned the corner. I haven't had a single zit in at least 2-3 weeks (aside from a TINY TINY TINY whitehead or two that legit no one aside from me would even notice). I'd uplo...

have you talked to your derm about chemical peels? those have helped some of my red marks fade in the past

Day 57 So I've broken out more  I got two on my upper left cheek. They're not that big, but they're very red and taking awhile to go away. I've also got one on my forehead. Otherwise, just...

Face looking good

Day 48 My skin and scalp haven't been nearly as itchy. I've been using that tea tree oil shampoo and I really think that's making the difference. My breakouts seem to have calmed down a bit on my chee...

Love your positive attitude. Hope you keep making progress.

Glad the deep cysts on your neck have gone done. hang in there

Day 38 Itchiness has come back after using that steroid gel, but I've been managing it somewhat with tea tree oil shampoo (there seems to be a correlation between my scalp and face itchiness. If I'm a...

hey the red marks are definitely red, but it's awesome that you don't seem to have had any actives for a few weeks now. at least your skin can start to heal now

Hey we seem to have the same general level of acne and we're the same age. I'm on day 33 and I'm pretty sure (fingers crossed) I'm past my initial breakout period. BTW, my derm said I could use over t...

Day 31 First day of month two, first day of 60mg/Clavaris. The pills are shaped totally different from Myorisan but still super easy to swallow. No real changes. Gotten a few new zits and still recove...

I think the question is has anyone NOT experienced painful cystic acne while on accutane. You're still in the early stages of it. It sucks hardcore and makes you want to crawl into a hole. If you can ...

You need to at least moisturize while on accutane or you'll shrivel away. But beyond that (and sunscreen), I guess you're wondering if you should try not washing your face? I wouldn't personally advis...

Ugh the itchy skin is the worst huh? Definitely my least favorite side effect so far, it's just so intense and relentless. Especially at night. I've started feeling some relief from a steroid cream my...

Day 26 Had my one month check up today. My derm gave me some free steroid cream samples (desonide) to help with the itchiness on my face. I'll use it for just a few days. I was going to pick up some o...

Why do we care? Who really knows. I ask myself that a lot. I think the vast majority of people have some type of insecurity or worry about their physical appearance, even if it doesn't seem that way. ...

Updated first post with pictures. Will probably only post pictures once a month or so. Or just whenever I notice progress or major setbacks. Here's some pics from today, day 23. No major changes. Mor...

I would definitely recommend seeing a derm too. With your severity of acne (quite mild, non cystic), they should be able to help.

Day 21 3 weeks! So...I got another breakout this week, cystic stuff. I've got about 15 actives on my face right now, some still from last week that are going down but not totally gone. It's so weird c...

Lots in common with you...also 22, also white/hispanic. Graduated from college last year. It sounds like you currently suffer more from scars and redness, with just the occasional breakout. Have you c...

Day 17 Got a nosebleed as I got out of bed this morning. I was able to stop it pretty quickly, but it was still a little drippy (with blood) throughout the day. I've also developed some small red bum...
