Hi, Im 21 years old and currently on the Yasmin contraceptive pill and have been taking it continuously since I was 18 but am considering not taking it anymore as I have no need for it. I took roaccutane for about a year and a half, starting when I was 16 and since then my skin has been clear (I never had bad Cystic acne but I just never had clear skin) - how will this affect my skin if I go off the pill? My skin was fine before taking the pill and ive had barely any breakouts during.
Hi, so i have had 2 courses of Accutane now complete 6 month courses each. Whilst on them all acne on my scalp dissapeared and felt way more confident. Now that im off accutane for around 2 months my scalp stayed clear, now iv started getting spots all around my scalp. On top under my hair, and on the sides and back, some small pimples and a few big Zits. Im a 22 yr old Male with Short hair. Is it fungal/bacterial? tried all OTC i can think of, what do i do/take now? Thought accutane would work.
I am a 21 yr old male that took accutane for 2 months and stopped because of hair shedding. However, after 6 months, Ive noticed that even my pubic hair has spots where hair is growing thinner and slower. The hair on my head keeps shedding and Im seeing patches of visible scalp with one circular patch that the derm injected steroids in. She said that it may be alopecia areata, but judging from what Im seeing, I think accutane may have permanently thinned some hair follicles. What should I do?
I am a 21 year old female. 51 kg. I'm on my 6th month of accutane. My acne is gone, but I only have scars left. I get at least 1 pimple during menustration that vanishes in 2 days or so. My doctor recommended me to take it for another month. Is it safe?
The acnes and whiteheads are going away faster than before. I am also getting new ones too. Its on my neck and back. My doctor said that it should be normal. I am 18 years old
Male, 20, 121lbs, 5'11, . Been off accutane for around 2 weeks now and starting to get under-skin bumps around the hairline. Should I start taking accutane again? How long should the treatment last for me and is there a waiting time between short accutane courses or should I continue asap? Would a higher dosage be more suitable for me? Maybe moving on to 20mg?
Im 18-year-old, 130 lbs 55 & been suffering w/ cystic acne since I was 14. I started my first round of Accutane when I was 16 40mg 2x a day for 6 months. I went on my 2nd Round 6 months after I finished my first when I was 17 with 40 mg 2x daily for the first 3 months and 40 mg in the morning & 60 @ night. now here I am, 6 months later, breaking out again & considering going back on it. Nothing helps but accurate + i experience all the side effects. the pics show just the beginning
I have had ice pick scaring for 4 years since the age of 16 till now. I am 20 years of age. I have done 2 Fraxel restores, 1 Profractional Laser , and 1 intensive microneedling treatment, with 3 IPL, in the course of 4 years with minimal results at this point I am considering Isotretinoin because when I l breakout it leave a new scar on my skin. And I still breakout . At this point is Isotretinoin a ideal option ?
