Thanks for checkin in on richardb & thanks for well wish Checked your sitsh & you're experienced so I'll cross my fingers it'll get good this time I didn't see anyone mentioning Carmex. Ca...

8 months. FIN. Talked to derm who said "you look great!". Was told to hold off on multivitamin with A in it for 2 months & was also told sun is ok but wear sun screen. Side effects still there,...

Congrats taned! Thanks!

Just an update. 1 week to go. It's a LOT better. I really hope it stays like this and doesn't come back. Some old activities that can be felt (cysts/lumps etc) but rarely active. It hasn't smoothene...

Aha ok. Mine kinda feel alive sometimes & they're easy to upset

6 months. Today's official end of treatment. However, since I didn't do 60mg/day but 40mg/day due to stomach reactions I will finish off what's left. According to my calc I'm 135 pills (I'm on 20mg p...

Almost 5 months. New blood work & met with derm. It's not good yet so will keep eating for another month. Blood work came out ok I think because I haven't heard anything. It's the old cysts that...

Yo Ugghhh & whoartthouh1: My cyst's age varies from years to just the beginning for my accutane regimen. They're not really inflamed either but just lumps, I'm worred they'll get back to being inf...

4 months. Not much to report. Barely any new activities, overall not oily skin and a easier to deal with skin type. Older major cysts still remain & I'm really doubting they'll go away. I hope s...

Brains over looks man - don't worry about the respect, you earn it by being smart! Good luck with your treatment! Remember that it'll very likely get much worse at first (did for me), so hang in the...

Hey & happy holidays! I'm half way in now, been a bit more than 3 months. I feel that accutane is slowly working and making it better. Nothing real new to report. Hardly getting any new activi...

Yes, toats. Since Acne can be hormonial and hormones have impact on brain chemistry -> can set off physical problems.

8 weeks. Nothing much to report. maria11: No change for me either with the old ones. I'm not getting many new activities at least so that's good! Only 40% in on the regimen time so by 100% I hope ...

Yep, derm said that's kind of the point. It's not even close now, hah! How's your progress otherwise, any good results?

i have those dormant cysts as well that are just sticking around with no change..:/ how old are yours?   They're anywhere from 4 years to just when I started my regimen on tane - got one new, e...

6 weeks / 42 days. A few new activities now. Also a bit more oil. I wonder if the body is getting used to the med and therefore the effect of it are wearing down. I also get the feeling that some ol...

1 month. I think it's pretty much exactly one month now. Going pretty well, no serious new activities and I've been able to shave my head which I didn't dare to earlier due to a colony of activities...

Great read for someone who's on the journey or contemplating taking it. Were you able to test your liver and such while on it despite getting the meds off the system? You look great & are super ...

Hey there, I'm on my 14th day of tane and I have quite a similar situation like yours, Old cysts calming down and getting hard not going away. They are itchy though but no irritation. I too have to wo...

3 weeks. I think it's working! Hope this didn't jinx anything Few actives, some problems but it's a bit better acne wise though skin in general looks like sh*t due to dryness listed below. Side e...

Thanks a lot nbkyrww! Unfortunately I have to work & a pretty active place with meetings and stuff. That sucks but I hope it'll be worth it in the end.

10 days. IB seems to have calmed down (knock on wood). Still constant activities but I don't really look like sh*t Seriously dry lips, they're getting worse. Might try and get my hands on that Aq...

1 week. As previously written, I seem to have the pleasure of a quite serious IB. Big ass cheek cyst, cysty bumps here and there and more activities in places that used to be ok. Getting a few new o...

  Day 4 Really hope this is IB. It's getting progressively worse.

tl;dr - Hi! No exceptional problems earlier. Some during teen years, never needed to med. attention. Had really good skin that needed no care (I thought!). Signs 5 years ago. Got crazy 1.5 years ago, ...
