Accutane Journey

February of 2019 I’ll be off accutane for one year. I’m satisfied with the results. I have been breaking out though for about a month along my chin area. I went back to Dr. Herschthal on 3/13 and he prescribed Doxycycline which I’ll pick up today 3/14.

He also wanted to do some skin resurfacing to get rid of a lot of the scarring I have from picking so much when I did have acne. Accutane healed my skin so much but it could only repair so much from the damage I inflicted myself. Will post updates with the Doxy.

Hello everyone! My acne has been gone, I’ve gotten a few here and there but I’ve had these small bumps on my arms since February. They’ve gotten worse and there’s a ton of them :(
I’ll be going back to the dermatologist in a few weeks or so to see what they say. From research it looks like Ketosis Pilaris. That could be hella wrong but it’s what I found. Will update!

Two months later and my skin hasn’t had any bad breakouts! I do want to get the Banish kit but I’ll have to wait a while unfortunately. This is the best thing I’ve done for myself.

I hardly wear makeup, I feel more confident and it’s just amazing not to suffer from acne anymore. Hopefully never again.
