Hi....I just wanted to say that vaseline is no good! It really doesn't help so ditch that! Guessing you're in the UK? A lot of people say Carmex is good but I didn't like it. I ordered some aquaphor ...

Best of luck to you. You will have beautiful skin In no time!

I really don't think you should take it without a doctor's supervision. Please be careful!

Unfortunately there's no hope for some people in getting rid of acne. There's always hope!!

Any improvements?

I think everyone here can relate to how you feel.   I think accutane is deffo something u out should consider and maybe discuss with a derm. It gives people their lives back. I know it has horr...

Have a break for 2 days and just cleanse and moisturise. Then start slowly. Like every other day once a day then every day and see how you go X

Please keep going. Honestly you will have your life back soon. I started my course in the July I think it was and I remember having spots In the september but being completely clear by the November! ...

What dose are you on now?

Well I've just written my goodbye note.. I'm In such a bad place mentally....I can't go on

I have lost weight due to having an over active thyroid after pregnancy which has now resolved. I try to sleep well but honestly don't know how sleep deprivation could cause scars. My acne isn't that ...

Hi....I can't believe it's happening again....   After my accutane course 4 years ago I started developin scars over my face, lines, circles and indents. Daily they would appear.   Many o...

Why don't you try reducing your dose so you just take a pill every 3rd day? Side effects will lessen and you will still finish your course?

So today I visited a private dermatologist (uk) to discuss my acne. He asked me for no medical history, so I told him I had done a course 4 years ago but it had started to return all be it far milder....

You have lovely skin!

Lots. It can affect your liver. Do a search on these boards and people have already started threads about it. No advisable to take large amounts of anything without a doctor's supervision.

Why do you have to wait til September? Sorry if I missed this somewhere!

I was gonna say minocycline as I did a few months on it along with dans regime before starting and it really helped!   Did it not work at all for you?

Keep posting. I hope they up your dosage for you!

Good luck!   Just a simple face wash and moisturiser are all you need. Are you in the UK? The simple hydrating face wash is what i used for my course along with cetaphil cleanser to remove make...

A lot of people say they notice this. Accutane slows down skin cell growth. I'm sure when you get off it the skin will stop being so thin and the scars will look better!

No!!!! Don't do it. Dryness may not hit for 5 days and then you will be ridiculously dry. Personally I would start every other day then once a day. Work up slowly.

Emu oil helped me massively with red marks. Please don't pit any chemicals on your face. Your skin cell production has been slowed right down.....don't damage your skin at all!

Best of luck! let us know how you get on!

Yep....I never knew I had black heads there til they came out! Don't squeeze them though!!   50 is quite high if you're only small but if your derm thinks it's best then go with it! However if t...
