Hello guys, I'm still alive lol. So after my previous update I stopped taking Accutane. I went to a different dermatologist who thinks I don't need it. She prescribed me an antibiotic and some creams called Onexton and something with a Z! The antibiotic gave me a really bad yeast infection so I said NO to that. The creams are okay.. my Derm seems to think it's working but I think different. I've stopped using that and began using a natural remedy; Black African soap and Apple Cider Vinegar. I go back to the Derm tomorrow so I'm going to talk to her about getting back on Accutane because LITERALLY NOTHING WORKS :( i'll update you guys tomorrow after the appointment! Oh and a little picture of what I'm looking like these days!

Please keep us posted! I have similar acne to yours and I totally get it. Seriously, nothing works. I've tried onexton as well and it just made things worse. Have you tried any of the retinoids? I have an appointment next week to decide whether Accutane is the next step for me, but I'm so nervous. I'm really glad you came back to update. You're one of the only posts I have seen with mainly non inflammatory acne. Good luck and keep us updated! :)

I'm so bad with this whole updating thing lol :( so sorry! I decided not to get back on Accutane and try a different approach. The Accutane really hurt my pockets.. having to go to the Derm every month is $40! So my mom bought me a Clarisonic and Purity face wash by Philosophy. I've been using it about 3 weeks now and I can say I've seen more of a difference with this than with all of the other crap the Derm gave me. How was your appointment? Did you get on the 'tane as the call it lol.

That's great that you found something that's working! :) I started Accutane 10 days ago. So far so good!

Hey guys! So I know it's been a while (feels like forever) since I've updated. So let me fill you in. Closer to my 2nd month I decided to just stop taking accutane until I got situated with school and everything. Now that I am settles in I feel ready to start back up. So tomorrow I'm going to my new dermatologist and will start on 60mg a day. I will update 2-4 weeks after I start taking it! Here are a few pictures just so you guys can see my progress. Talk to you all soon! ;-)

Final Dermatology visit before I go back to college!

I just got back from the dermatologist, my dermatologist said everything looks normal and pretty good. She did poke a few deep blackheads that I had on my forehead just to get them clean and going. She also upped me to 60mg per day starting after I finish my 40mg dosage. I'll let you guys know if anything changes! :-)
