Day 164 Now taking 80mg, plus prednisone, bactrim, and Pepcid. New breakouts have been almost nonexistant. I AM somewhat worried about my body being able to handle all these drugs at once, but so far...

Day 159 Stopping by the pharmacy later today to pick up my Accutane, prednisone and bactrim. Since my last update, I've had one or two biggish ones on my forehead (not big enough to be considered ful...

Day 153   Had derm appointment today. She bumped me up to 80mg and also said she'd prescribe prednisone and bactrim to help with inflammation and bumps that I've had lingering for a while.  ...

Day 147 Face getting noticeably redder and oilier. Quite demotivating to say the least.

Day 145 Continuing to get small pimples here and there. Still no new large cysts... for now.

Day 143   Since my last update, no new cysts. Have gotten some smaller ones, as well as some semi-acne near the lip, but overall things are more controlled than they were a week or two ago. &nb...

Day 138 Haven't updated in a while! Been really busy. Moved a new apartment with my gf and have been really busy getting everything set up before the new semester starts. I'm actually taking the seme...

Day 119 Seems like I'm getting another painful pimple near the lip. So frustrating. One of the main reasons I took Accutane to start with was so I wouldn't have to smear BP near my lips anymore, and ...

Day 116 Got a pimple or two near mouth. Thought I was done breaking out in that area. Matter of fact, thought I was done breaking out along jawline too, until recently. I know I should be patient, bu...

Day 113 Noticed new pimples today. I just realized I'm over 3.5 months in. Time flies so fast!

Day 112 Happy New Year! Drank a lot on new year's eve, but since this is my first time having more than 1-2 drinks in my entire course I don't think it should be a problem. My skin continues to suc...

Day 110 Face looks horrible for New Year XD Got two new cysts since my last update, my old cysts are all crusty and bloody, and my left eye is swollen from the stye. I got put on antibiotics for it ...

Day 108 Old breakouts are slowly but surely dissipating and so far no major new ones have formed. My right cheek is super-smooth at the moment. I'll probably break out again and again, but I have to ...

Day 105 Past the 100 day mark! Merry Christmas to anyone reading. My left cheek cysts and any other cysts I had last time I updated have continued to dry up / push out. Healing is reeeeally slow so I...

Hi, I just started Accutane 8 days ago and feel like I am sort of hitting my initial breakout. It's not nearly as bad as your seems to have been 8-10 days in but I'm guessing mine is just going slowe...

Day 97 Got my new month of pills yesterday. Trucking along. The huge cysts I had aren't as red / tender / swollen anymore, drying up a little and coming to heads, but still really big and really emba...

Day 95 Breaking out hard and not healing AT ALL. My skin looks horrendous. Red, flaky, irritated, dry, and broken out like there's no tomorrow. Haven't gotten my month 4 accutane yet. Called pharmacy...

My girlfriend is amazing. She does not care AT ALL. Sometimes I'm astounded, but the truth is, people perceive things MUCH differently. We are so used to focusing on our acne that we think it bothers ...

Feel pretty bad. I thought my back was done breaking out, but painful pimples are popping up again. The whole left side of my face is a red, swollen, oozy mess. The right side is somewhat better but s...

When they take my blood, they take two full tubes... it's too much to be taking from the finger, they need to find a vein in your arm and do it from there.

Day 93 Left cheek continues to break out with no end in sight. In fact, for some reason the whole left side of my face is doing horribly while the right side is only having minor, non-cystic breakout...

Day 92 Had derm appointment and bloodwork. Was told I'd get my blood results Monday. The derm told me they'd keep me on 60mg for month 4 because of the eczema I've developed on the backs of my hands ...

Day 91 My left cheek / cheekbone area looks like I have severe acne because of all the inflamed redness, cysts and pustules pushing out. Also have a couple cysts on my chin and stuff along my jawline...

Day 89 Nothing new. Lots of huge embarrassing cysts on my face, and still breaking out on my back - with numerous small ones and one cyst-type one. There are a few smoother areas on my face that give...

Day 87   Still breaking out, at the rate of maybe one cyst a day. Skin on face continues to peel / shed a lot. Old cysts take FOREVER to heal unfortunately. Not having fun atm.. Accutane really ...
