Maybe I have made it sound like my acne is my biggest concern, but it's more my looks in general. I know what kind of foods to avoid, but it's hard sometimes to maintain a healthy diet in everyday ...

Thank you for all the nice replies. What you should know however, is that my profile picture is from 16 years ago and I am 14 years old in it. I don't look like this anymore. I should have made ...

Hi everyone, I could really use some support with my personal situation and would appreciate a few replies. I will turn 31 years old soon and to this day have never had a boyfriend, date or even...

My parents never supported me either. They never took me to the dermatologist for my acne because they thought that acne is just something that every teenager has (which is BULLSHIT!!!) and that I sho...

The first time I attempted to go on accutane again my hair started falling out. It was probably too soon after the last regular course (less than a year). In January I started taking it again and this...

Hello everyone,   my oily skin just relapsed again after my second accutane course. I am so fed up with this! I came across this topic and decided to go on a low dose of accutane indefinitely, t...

On my way to work today I made the mistake to look into the car's mirror and I almost had a nervous breakdown. After accutane my main problem are scars right now. My face just looks like the surface o...

It seems to be a common mistake that using only water to cleanse your face is a gentle method. The skin has a pH-value of 6 while that of water is between 7 and 9.5   Water cannot clean the skin...

Hey, I know exactly how you feel. Just had to finish my second accutane course early because my cholesterol was too high. It's been only two weeks since I stopped taking it and I can slowly feel the o...

Yes I am getting my monthly blood work and am under supervision of my derm. But my skin doesn't feel different than with 10mg, it's just as dry but not drier. My weight is 54kg, but I thought the orig...

Hey everyone, I am currently on my second accutane course and I would like to hear your opinion on a couple of things. My first course went from October last year until March this year. I was on 10mg...

Yesterday I went to the zoo with some close friends and their kids (one of them being my godchild). It was a very hot day, temperatures being about 33° Celsius. So I was unsure about wearing foundatio...

Also I think it's interesting how we seem to have different preferences when it comes to relationships. Some say that they want a partner who also has acne, because he/she can better understand what w...

I forgot to say that the cholesterol and triglyceride levels in my blood have increased. This is probably due to accutane. But I can live with it, as long as it goes back to normal afterwards.

I am still on 10mg a day. My derm has refused to raise it to 20mg, she thinks it's too much. I have some dry patches around my nose and the corners of my mouth but other than that my skin is just righ...

Hey Moonlit River, I've taken Venlafaxine and it didn't work for me. For me Mirtazapin works best, but unfortunately it increases your appetite and most people gain weight when they take it. It also ...

It took about a month for the accutane to kick in. Now I'm noticing my body becoming drier. My skin is a little less oily. Before I had to put on powder 3 or 4 times a day, now one time is enough. How...

Man, after reading all these posts I know I'm not alone with this. I too have become extremely socially awkward around people because of my acne and right now I have only 1 friend left (from high scho...

Due to my acne and how I was treated at school I have developed social phobia and now I cannot approach people anymore. I have no friends right now (have only 12 friends on facebook and that's all fam...

@CBIOT13: My first derm refused to put me on accutane, too. So I went to another and she agreed to it right away. Derms can be very different. I've had a few nosebleeds over the last days. This proba...

Hello everyone, I'm a 25-year-old girl and I've been suffering from acne since I was 13. I've decided to go on accutane, even though I haven't tried many other things, because I think it's the only t...

Congratulations! I was thinking of you all weekend
