Week 20: 5 more pills. Vacation was great. Kept the sun off my face. The only problem was that I was unable to wash more than once a day and without my typical products. We'll see if this results in a...

Week 18 & 19 I was down on these weeks before they even started and when a nasty red spot throbbed on my temple three days into week 18 I really started to worry. I didn't touch it and it never ca...

Week 17: i started my final month of pills today. I just had a white head come to a head today that had sat under my skin for three months. I never thought it was infected but it finally came up. A wa...

Week 16 (late): No big changes. I went to the dermatologist to get my last blood test and prescription but after I told her I had one spot pop up over vacation she mentioned one or two more months. Th...

Week 15: No changes.

Week 14: I wrote my Week 13 post halfway into Week 14 but I didn't want to give away any spoilers. Like I mentioned, I was on vacation and that that meant a lot of sunscreen. I had one nasty white-hea...

All I've found is to drink water. Your skin tone will even out later in the course. For me, the redness has just started going down and I'm mid-month 4. I still get a touch pink after taking a pill an...

I'm on my 2nd time as well. Did my first round from January-May '16 and started this course mid-December (done late April/early May). I've been on 80mg since the go which was the same dose as my first...

Week 13: No changes in my skin. I was on vacation for week 13 but used SPF70 every day and never really burned.

Week 12: Not a single flare up this week. Went to the doctor and picked up my 4th month of pills. The doctor said I can do 1 or 2 more months. I told her I'd do the 2 and hit 150mg/kg again. Better sa...

Week 11: Here we have it folks. After a bad week 10, I'm sitting here week 11 complete with no active spots. The spot that sat on my temple for almost a week required a pop and yes the redness stuck a...

Week 10: Sub-par week 10. The active on my cheek did end up being a hard waxy type and dried up but I developed two new white heads on my temple, one on my forehead, and another last night pop up besi...

I never cleared up completely until after stopping the drug after a 5 month course of 80mg/day (first course). I was completely clear for 6 months and then the acne started creeping back in. I went on...

1) is it common for Accutane to make your face ten times worse for such a long time? -Everyone speaks of an initial breakout, I had mine, but from what I've heard from my doctor a 20mg course is short...

Week 9: Great week 9. Picked up my third month of boxes. Still pretty excited every time I see $25 ring up on the register instead of $300. The breakouts from week 8 have diminished and I only have on...

Week 8: Week 8 sucked. I broke out in a few more spots; the sides of my mustache (3), forehead (3), and temple (1). These seem to be my trouble areas and the fight is waging a lot longer than it did o...

Week 7: Week 7 on my second course was, unfortunately, not as great as week 7 during my first course. I had no breakouts this week on my first course and now I've dealt four unique, nasty whiteheads t...

Week 6: I can see the light at the end of the tunnel that is forehead-gate. There is a single red spot above my eyebrow and everything else is drying up and healing/almost unnoticeable. I had an incre...

Redness, yes. Soreness, no but if you have a lot of cystic acne I imagine that could mean it is all pushing to the surface and the pressure is bringing you pain.

Week 5: Forehead-gate rages on. The new spots from last week have lingered for almost the entire week and a couple new ones after surfaced. The forehead is a real bitch considering this is a place I n...

When I first checked your log, I thought it was my face but I didn't post photos on my log..same issue on my end but i hit a full 150 mg/kg. 26 (now 27) year old male with the exact same type of acne....

Week 4: Forehead is still a nightmare. Last weeks spots have either popped or dried up and I have a couple new spots. The active + red spots make for the worst look yet. I would like to pull my hair b...

Week 3: Week 3 was headlined by forehead bumps coming to a head. Luckily I have long hair now so they don't show but my forehead was the worst it has ever been half-way thru this week. I'm starting to...

Week 2: This course of accutane is progressing much different than the first course. I mentioned the lack of blackheads pushing out in my last post and that continues. Not getting much in the form of ...
