Start of month 2

Well I officially survived one month of accutane! My skin is smoother, but I wouldn't say their has been any drastic changes, I was pretty sure I was going to wake up one morning and have this whole new face but that didn't happen obviously!! The side effects are pretty much what I've read, everything's just dried out! I had my first cold sore and that was not fun! My scalp is itchy and dry! I keep getting dry rashy spots all over my arms, theirs pretty much a new one every day! But y'all the dry lips are NEXT LEVELLL!! I don't even want them anymore, just take them away! ???????????????? other than that it hasn't been a terrible experience! But we are going to the beach in a couple of weeks and I'm a little nervous about being miserable! I guess we will see!

Day 14

Okay so it's day 14 on accutane! My skin hasn't really changed much other than being dry! I don't even know what lips are anymore!!! And my body itches from being dry!!

Dry lips advice????

Okay so I'm on day 5, I haven't noticed any bad side effects. I randomly lost 5 pounds and I'm not sure if it's related to the medicine or not? I'm taking 40mg of zenatane. My lips are dry and my nose is peeling it's kinda like if I were to get sunburnt and its just barely peeling. Any suggestions on what to use for the dry lips???
