the first week of accutane i was on 20mg and it felt like gravity had intensified. everything felt slow and heavy. But after that first bump i went back to normal and now im on 40 mg and fine! so yeah...

hot showers can cause this. but i too would like to know how to reduce facial redness whilst on accutane

good dosage. Lower dosage = less extreme side effects.

i dont even use a cleanser while on accutane, i just let the drug do its work and let my body react accordingly. Where you from? i skate also.

your spots arent noticeable. Accutane will take like a year and a half of daily dosing at 20mg to be effective, which i still woudlnt recommend without a dermatologist because it can do liver damage e...

i too am curious about this and in the same situation. any advice for us?

I definitely did! i received my prescription of accutane (or roaccutane, known here in Australia) about 6 months before i actually worked up the courage to start it! to be honest i regret not taking i...

my previous scarring has actually improved since accutane! i broke out and had cysts and whiteheads all over, but they quickly went away. im still breaking out a bit but whatever, its just like prior ...

yeah just wait it out. I used to have to wash my hair nearly daily because it got so greasy, now i wash it around once a week if that. My face isnt oily AT ALL! and ive been on 20mg for about a month.

i'm on 20mg a day too, i am a 17 year old male. I have made a blog ( poorly updated as of late) and it says how my course is currently going. Read up on it from time to time to get a general idea of w...

hey buddy. You seem to have the same mentality as me. I was pretty disheartened researching about accutane and i too wondered how they could create rocket ships to the moon, yet couldn't prevent acne....

im on it now. face is slightly slightly pinker and my lips are quite dry. my hair line seems to have receeded a bit but i could also be imagining things. I say if youre getting scarring, do accutane n...

I'm taking accutane at the moment, which is isotretinoin, and im on 20mg a day for 9 months to destroy my sebum glands and forever clear me of acne hopefully. So far im about one month in, my skin is ...

rosacea is like blushing, so its just hyper pigmentation i guess.

yeah i got drier skin pretty quickly. I dont even use my cetaphil because when my skin flakes off the scars become less noticeable.

im getting some on my cheeks aswell on 20mg.. and my forehead too i think. i think its just stuff coming to the surface which hopefully will disappear leaving us smooth skin.

try a low dose, maybe 10mg or 20mg. im on 20mg and i did have an IB, but it consisted of only a few pimples and cysts which are now gone and im only on i think day 17. My pitted scarring from previou...

i weigh 70kg and im on 20mg a day and my derm gave me 60 pills too. But i think they are just packaged like that for those who take 40mg a day, then they would take two 20mg pills a day, so the packet...

right on man. At least you took the plunge. did your skin texture change since being on it? did you also get a more even tone?

just expect to breakout. i thought i would be immune but here i am on a low dose on day 13 and breaking out! its not too bad hopefully it will subside.

amen to that dude. i just got sick and tired of thinking to myself every damn day "its gonna get better" and seeing no improvements. I hope accutane also helps for scarring.

seeing as your name is aussieshaun, i presume you are male, as i am, and in that case i believe you can begin the same day you get your blood test. ( or at least i did.) It only takes females longer ...

i use blistex, my lips seem to be pretty well. i also sometimes put vaseline total moisture for dry skin on there. its not a lip balm but it works.
