How have you been doing on your treatment? I was very distressed when my acne got bad. I'm older (29) and have always had mild to moderate acne, but it was easily controllable. After a recent period o...

I'm 29 and still breaking out at day 48... The break outs are smaller than before but I'm getting tired of it too... Haven't drank at all on it cause my doc is super insistent that I don't so don't kn...

Hey guys! Thanks for your responses! Hopefully more will add their treatment courses so we can compare how our docs are dealing with this! Hope to see that we are all progressing as our treatment goes...

Yeah, my acne blew up pretty quickly. When it started it was small blackheads getting inflammed and I did the extractions. Got worse and worse til it became this. I tried it all. All cosmetic procedur...

So... day 48 (end of week 7) and I'm pondering on my treatment... My derm prescribed me pretty high dose accutane to start (60mg/day at 50kg weight) and I have either mild acne fulminans or pyoderma f...

I think I had the same thing about a week ago on the back of my hands. Not like a raised rash, but kind of scaly and red and also going down on my wrist area. It wasn't painful or anything, just very ...

I've nothiced that there is a lot of variation as to everyone's dosage and courses of treatment so I though I would start a thread so users could compare thier course dosage, length of treatment, and ...

Hey ughhhh! Hope you are getting a little better every day! I'm seeing improvement but its massively slow! Are you still dealing with cysts? I am. They seem like they just don't want to go away and...

Hang in there! Try just putting plain old vaseline on your lips right before bed. Mine are really dry in the corners and this helps more than any kind of actual chapstick (though it doesn't actually "...

Hey BMarie, Sorry to hear that you are still breaking out. Hopefully its not as bad as before though. I think that in my case I'm going to keep breaking out in the same spots with smaller and smalle...

Day 45: No new pimples, save for one very tiny "normal" one near my hairline, but I've been exercising again lately and its probably from the sweat so no biggie. I'm definetely looking better than I w...

I wanted to add something for anyone who is having an extremely dry nose as a side effect. This has been the worst for me in the last week (since around day 35) with my nose all crusty and cracked fee...

I understand what you are going through! It feels like this acne face is my new reality sometimes! I have good and bad days. I have to admit that my acne is better than it was during the horrible IB a...

So.... I'm getting back into my exercise routine FINALLY! Before the back pain was just exacerbated too much and its still there, but much more managable now. I really think that the additional water ...

Yeah blabla! I'm the same! My face was majorly oily before! Like it always looked wet no matter what I did or tried (and believe me I tried every product out there to help with it). My hair used to lo...

Agree about the Aussie and it smells good too! I used LaRochePosay moisturizer in the past but it isn't strong enough now. How's the face wash? Does it remove makeup well and gentle enough for the acc...

I am just beginning month two (day 33 or 35 if you count the 2 days without meds while I waited for my bloodwork to come back). I've been doing much better with the popping. I've noticed that if I don...

My back was hurting bad recently too but I upped my water intake and that seems to be helping. I feel ya on the stubornness of the cysts... I keep telling myself that its going to take longer for the ...

Hey blabla05! Hang in there! I'm on day 33 (or 35 if you count the days I went without pills after the first month) and I am still getting new spots... Its not as bad as my initial IB, which got bad q...

Keep pushing through and its good you're not popping! I have trouble not picking at mine and whenever I do they get worse and/or spread... I'm only a little ahead (day 32) and waiting to get my blood ...

Thanks Sasch, very helpful! Thank you for being honest about the time frame. I hope others will chime in as well with their experiences and I have been looking on some of the other logs also. I do fee...

Yes it sucks! Who wants to be reminded of acne while eating a burger? Serious loss of appetite! And kissing... my husband has a goatee and everything's fine unless he shaves it too short and it gets a...

30 day update!!! Just got back from the derm and she advised that I should be staying on 60mg/day throughout the entire course of my treatment unless something with the bloodwork or too many side eff...

Just a note, another reason to take it with food is because you get more out of it that way because it absorbs into your blood stream better. Derm suggested that I take it with a fatty meal because th...

Yeah I tried ALL of that first!! I didn't want to take accutane and have resisted in now for almost a decade! With the diet and exercise I lost weight and got in great shape but my acne is worse now t...
