The Outfield

Wow, great improvements man! I am happy that you stayed in there and that it started working for you. As the others say, the scars will continue to fade. Mine have continued to fade and are barely not...

Hey everyone! I am now 3 months post-accutane. I have remained nearly completely acne-free since, with just the occasional small pimple around the mouth that goes away fairly quickly. However, I a...

Well, this is it. The last pill of my 5 month course will be taken today. Man, I'm so worried that the acne will come back with a vengeance

Day 135   15 more days worth of pills   Not really much new. Eyes and lips still really bad

Day 124:   Well, I still have 28 pills left, when it should be 26 .. so I must have missed a couple days? Weird.   Anyway, less than a month to go! That's great because the side effects are...

Day 105:   Wow, it has been quite a while since my last update. I apologize for that - been really busy with finals (which are now done). But only 45 days to go in the course! It's going so quick...

I was looking at that at the store actually and it looked interesting. But I didn't want to buy it because I hadn't heard of it before.   The vaseline/aquaphor combo has been working quite well, ...

why is dermatologist jump to prescribed accutane? there are a lot of ways to prevent though it is fast and effective but the side effects in the long run is worsen   She didn't jump to prescrib...

Oh, wet jeans are awful.   Also, got an offer for an internship at a place I really wanted to work at! If everything checks out fine, then I'll be all set for work this Summer (also, no camping ...

Wow that's insane and scary about those that blister 0.o   But I went out on mother's day in sun to buy my mom some plants for a couple hours with some SPF 30 and that worked fine. I have never r...

LOL. Yeah, they are a pain in the butt. I've tried both Amnesteem and Clavaris and the Clavaris pills are easier to get out. But I like the Amnesteem pills because they're smoother and easier to swall...

Kind of random, but after only taking one pill out of the box so far... I already know I despise the packaging! I don't have any pill containers, so I actually searched for some nice ones on Amazon. I...

Water park with your daughter sounds like fun! And yeah, it does suck we're going to have to be more cautious about the sun. But maybe if we gradually build up stamina, it won't be so bad. Camping is...

Hey I am doing fine. The job interview went okay. I was very nervous at some points!! But I haven't heard back from them yet, I should sometime this week. I saw the dermatologist and she thinks every...

Day 80:   Wow, approaching 3 months completed. My face has remained free of any new acne, which is a godsend. I'm going to go get my blood test tomorrow and see my dermatologist on Thursday. I a...

Yeah I used that for a bit, but started to think it wasn't a good idea due to it being bad to swallow the ointment. I was also prescribed .05% desonide ointment after that, which seems to work the sa...

Since I'm desperate and interested in an alternative, I just ordered this: Vaseline lip therapy w/ aloe vera. I haven't tried any vaseline yet, but it will be interesting to see if the works, espec...

Hey Betsy Well not much has changed since my last post. But I had a good birthday with my immediate family and will see my extended family this weekend. How are you doing and how was your birthday? ...

Dude, I think you really need to up your dose and that you should not come off of accutane (unless your derm says otherwise) until you've had that opportunity. I'm sure it's very hard to stay positive...

AH guys my derm told me I had to fast for my next blood test, which is today. I'M. SO. HUNGRRYYYY. I sound like such a pig, but hey I'm a girl that likes her food, what can I say. Thank god for high m...

AHHHH Smallish pimple on jaw line today. Well, made it about 11 days without one, so that's good.

Day 60: Officially 2 months down! Today I picked up my prescription for more 60mg/day Clavaris. I'm quite glad they didn't change the brand on me again. I rather just have one brand and stick to it....

Yeah, blackheads can last a very long time. It's amazing I had them on my nose all that time and didn't really even know. My nose is all smooth and clear now lol.

Yes, I had blackheads on my nose as well. Before Accutane, my nose always seemed to have darkish bumps, but I didn't know what it was. Then about 2 weeks in, my nose got extremely rough and bumpy with...
