So, I started my 40mg Accutane, 1/day on 6/13 and I just finished my first week. I am currently experiencing the chap/dry lips and it seems like nothing helps put I'm hanging in there. I am beginning to break out on both sides of my cheeks more than usually. I will keep a monthly post to track my prpgression. Here are some pictures the day before I started Accutane.

Seems like the first month is probably the roughest for most. I see somewhat of results, the pimples are not painful whatsoever so thats a plus. Ready to start my 2nd month, i think my doseage is going up.

I USED A&D DIAPER RASH OINTMENT FOR MY EXTREMELY DRIED LIPS WHILE ON ACCUTANE! BUY IT RIGHT AWAY! A&D OINTMENT WILL ACTUALLY SAVE YOUR LIFE!!! NOTHING ELSE WORKS

It's day 19 of my accutane journey and I am still having some breakouts. These are not the cystic breakouts like the ones prior to starting; their not painful. My skin is softer and the dark marks are starting to fade. My next appointment is in 10 days and can't wait to hear my doctors input.

2nd month today 7/13

Well today starts my second month of being on accutane. I was super excited this morning at my appointment that i started snapping it up as you see below. My physician increased my dosage to 80 mg/ day where she reassured me that i shold start seeing some results and of course even drier lips and skins. As of today, I have one pimple with some pain but atleast its not more. I have taken my 80 mg and man am I drowsy. The physician gave me the option to take both the 40 mg at once or one in the AM and the other at night so I may split it up. I am looking forward to seeing results by the end of the month and will probably be posting a little more than usual. Until next time.
