How it works

- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I am 25 and have really struggled my whole life...
I am 25 and have really struggled my whole life with acne. I have tried everything. Recently my face has started to clear on its' own minus the few occasional breakouts. My back is really bad though. I am really worried about my face and starting this Accutane. I will be on 40mg/once a day for 6 months. My sister just started it as well. I am really worried about the initial breakout! I am supposed to go for my appointment to start the medication on Dec. 7th. I am ready to just get the next few months over with. Really scared and anxious at the same time! I am also a picker so I am going to have to learn not to do that. I already have scarring. This is one of the first times I have ever taken a picture without makeup!
Day 4
I am on day 4. Not noticing anything yet. I am waiting for my initial breakout. I am drinking 11/2 gallons of water a day and am taking 40mg of Accutane with Fish oil, Vitamin E and a steroid that my dermatologist prescribed me.
Almost a full month in!
Ok it has been a while and I am sorry! I am starting to notice I am breaking iut just a little bit more. As long as I don't pick they go away in a few days! I am doing great at not picking by the way!!! Yay me! My arms are really breaking out! My back and chest are looking good with no new active ones. And for my sweet little face.......ok so I have had a few under the skin but they go away in like 5 days. I am starting to feel more bumps on my cheeks. I don't think that is a good thing. I am sure they will all come to the surface. I have not had any crazy symptoms but I try to drink a gallon and a half of water a day and due to the holidays this past week I did not reach that goal daily and I am paying for it! My lips are so so so dry I literally peeled the top layer off! They have gotten better today with the proper hydration and lots of chapstick.
