Clearing up. I don’t really have any side effects any longer except for extreme fatigue, I got drink a venti at Starbucks and still have a nap half hour later lol. The eczema on the backs of my hands has cleared up. And my lips aren’t really that dry, it’s manageable with lip balm. I have been using Bite Agave lip balm, and laneige lip mask and/or aquaphor before bed. For my skin I’m using philosophy purity made simple cleanser, and fresh rose deep hydration toner and face cream. I exfoliate every once in a while with the rough side of a cotton pad and witch hazel, and I do a mask every so often with either 100% aloe Vera gel or the fresh rose deep hydration mask. The doctor said I’m done in June! I can’t wait to be off this medication and go back to being energetic and happy to wake up in the morning haha!

Eczema from the Accutane? Is that a side effect? You look like you are healing up nicely.
slowly getting there. yeah it seems like a side effect of the dry skin, my doctor prescribed me a ointment I have yet to pick up at the pharmacy.
Glad there is help for that. Thanks for sharing all the info and I hope you will keep us updated. You seem to be doing great minus the few side effects.
I was twice on Roaccutane.
Eucerin urea 10 % helped me to deal with extreme dry skin.
I’m still using it, as it keep my skin well moistened.
And I took omega + eating lots of avocado, banana and salmon. To give my skin extra good moisture from food.
Plus lots and lots of water.
Back pain is very common. But after the treatment, few months later I returned to the exercise. On roa I was very very tired to train.

Sorry I has been a while. Since switching to 40mg my lips have been noticeably dryer, otherwise the symptoms I was experiencing before have not gotten worse with the dosage increase like I had assumed they would. And my skin got clearer, I’m about to get my Time if the month and I didn’t get a nasty breakout with it only one pimple on my cheek so that has hopes up! I still have some crazy hyper pigmentation. I’m starting to think this is caused by my nuvaring ????. Cannot wait to get a pro-fractional laser treatment once this is all over!

Caused by the medication, scarring is prominent with Accutane.
