There's a lot of people who don't start seeing improvement until the 3rd or even 4th month.

It's a pretty common side-effect and I don't think you can do anything about it, no matter how well you moisturise. It's, unfortunately, part of the process. I was on 40mg/d for my first 3 months and ...

The drug is hard on the liver, that's just a fact, so it's pointless to micro-dose it when you can just take the standard course and be done with it in a years time tops (maybe a bit more if you're un...

36 days is really nothing, gotta give it more time. Month 2 can still be rough, but you should surely start seeing major improvement by the third month considering you'll be on 60mg. I've been on 40m...

I'm all about always trusting the derm, but there's definitely some weird advice there. First of all, I don't know how she told you to take the medicine before running any blood tests. I don't think ...

I found that it got slightly worse after about a month, but yeah, I also found 40mg/d to be pretty bearable. In fact, the worst side effect for me has been the redness, which is just an aesthetic issu...

I don't think it really matters, to be honest. And so does my derm. I've been on it for 3 months, and I've taken it with food, without it, and within different hours each day, and I don't have the fee...

Hey, I'm 28 and about to begin my 4th month on Accutane. - I've had no headaches or any head related issues so far - Muscle and joint pain is definitely there, but it wasn't that bad for me. Only no...

I've been on accutane for 10 weeks. Never had an initial breakout, my skin started healing almost literally overnight and the side effects are tough but bearable if you take care of yourself (I'm on 4...

You can do a lower dosage for sure, though the course will be longer, obviously. I'm on 40mg (20mg twice a day) and the side effects are pretty bearable for the most part. In fact, I've been thinking ...

If literally nothing else works, you should give accutane a shot. There's a lot of horror stories out there, and a lot of misinformation as well. You shouldn't trust everything you read on the interne...

Yeah I don't think Cancun is the best place to go while on Accutane. Then again, if your derm has agreed to it, I don't see why you shouldn't... Me, personally, I wouldn't do it, just because my face ...

I had a pretty strict diet before accutane and would still break out. I kept it that way during the first 2-3 weeks of my course, but since then I re-introduced some not so healthy foods into my diet,...

I've been on it for 50 days and I haven't found the side effects to be that bad, to be honest. Then again, it depends on your own tolerance to them and your dosage. I've found that the combination of ...

No matter what anyone tells you, you will have your own post-accutane process. There's people who say accutane saved their skin forever, and others who actually claim it has ruined other aspects of th...

Safest answer is no. Now, if it's a small gauge, and it's on the side of the nose, maybe you could get away with it with proper care. I definitely wouldn't try getting a septum done while on accutane ...

Drinking water and eating less oils and fats yes, but washing your face very frequently is the worst you can do for your dehydrated face.

Hey, 10mg is as low a daily dose as you can get prescribed. I started with 40mg daily, having mild acne myself and only a couple pimples by the time I took my first pill, and through the first month ...

Looking good my man!

As with everything in life, you'll hear many different opinions on a single subject, and Accutane draws from all ends of the spectrum. There's the common misconception that Accutane is only for people...

Ten pills will last 5 days, that doesn't even get you started nor gives you an idea of whether the drug will work for you or not. But even if you had 4 months worth of pills, you should still see your...

Hey Rich. I have dehydrated, acne-prone skin. My acne was also pretty mild, but very very persistent. I used Salicylic Acid for 6 weeks and it fucked my skin up bad, then spent a couple months just ge...

Hey bud, Let me hook you up with a nice article I found some time ago that helped me understand my skin type a bit more. It's a long read, but it's worth the while: From my own experience, my derm'...
