Back in high school I had a few girls interested when I had a pizza face. Shame I was too self concious to do anything about it.

This is normal. Isotretinoin continues to work for up to 8 weeks after finishing the course, so technically you have not even completed the treatment yet. The redness wil die down, but it is likely yo...

In the past year alone I have spent £500 on a scar revision which still looks awful, and £300 on a course of accutane. If I hadn't been moved to the NHS (the free health service here in the UK), the c...

I understand how you feel. I have avoided retail and customer service jobs all my life because I am self-concious of my skin. I sometimes think of how many friends, experiences and money I have missed...

Hi guys, I've decided to stop taking isotretinoin tomorrow. My hair has been getting more diffuse on top, especially during this past month. I had MPB before taking isotretinoin, but I know the medic...

I wouldn't bother with low dose isotretinoin, just my opinion. If you're going to take a medicine as strong as isotretinoin, then you want to do everything you can to make sure it works to its full po...

To everyone: what was your duration on isotretinoin and what was your cumulative dose?

Currently on day 163 of isotretinoin. For anyone who is curious about starting a course, these are the side effects I have experienced to date (not all at the same time): Extremely dry lips (requires ...

I just want normal skin that is clear and free of blemishes. I've been on isotretinoin for about 24 weeks and it has stopped my acne, but the damage has been done. My skin just looks dull and blemishe...

Hi, Since yesterday I have been having pain on my left flank, just below the rib cage. I've just done a quick search on accutane and the kidneys and it seems to be where the pain is. I'm worried now. ...

Currently on day 160 of isotretinoin and no active acne My hair however, is paying the price right now.

I recommend a derma roller (1mm or more) and jojoba oil for red marks.

lamarr... do you have any before pics? To compare before and after.

I've bought a 1mm derma roller, my only problem is WHEN to use it! I don't fancy going out of the house with a red face. How did you get around this?

Two points to make;   Take anything a doctor says with a pinch of salt. A derm once told me never to use chemical peels and almost tried to make a joke out of it. Erm HELLO, if I hadn't used chem...

Apple cider vinegar caused scarring?!   Personally I think this kind of thing is a waste of time.. You have to tackle it hard, things like TCA or retanoid creams. Imo anything else is just like t...

I stopped taking Lymecycline a long time ago, and i've been taking doxycycline for the past 3 months, it is much better.   Lymecycline has to be taken on an empty stomach so it never really got g...

Glycolic has minor effect on my skin, 50% is like a gental exfoliator, it makes the skin slightly red but it only works on the upper surface. TCA is much more effective.

Whilst painting the garage earlier I spent a rather disturbing amount of time staring at a roll of sandpaper. You doubtless all know what I was thinking. Which left me wondering - how many people have...

To the people who are experiening noticable hair loss, what dose are/were you taking?   60mg a day for 5 months. I weigh(ed) about 160 lbs. Hair loss began at the end of the 5th month.   ...

To the people who are experiening noticable hair loss, what dose are/were you taking?

When used correctly pure Glycolic acid 30% - 50% is the BEST product to use for red marks and smaller scars.   The temporary redness of the treated area which lasts for a few days is a downside,...

Is it safe to take antibiotics for acne whilst doing a liver flush or should I stop taking them for a few days?
