26 Years Old Starting Isotretinoin (Accutane ) - Tallahassee, FL

I had really smooth skin for a couple of years after taking Accutane. I get an occasional blemish but nothing like before. On a side note I did develop Keratosis pilaris for about a year after using Accutane. But it cleared up after about a year.

So I finished my accutane treatment I have one more lab work to do post treatment. I made it. No major problems problems. My skin on my face does turn red briefly after I wash it, but it does subside. My skin is softer and so smooth with the exception of some really old acne scars. I didn't really have any new scarring after the treatment. Even though some looked as if they were gonna scar and stayed red even after healing. Another strange thing I notice when I started is my skin is so much more sensitive to clothing, cuts and scraps very easily and it hurt more than normal. But not too bad it was definitely worth all the doctor's visits, monthly blood work and tests. I am so happy to finally know what it's like to have clear skin. It is such a blessing.

My skin is still improving I love this medicine. My doctor even said this time that she saw improvement. My doctor increased the dosage last month to 60mg and to 80mg this month. I just got the prescription refill. Still dryness and I feel dehydrated often and have to drink a lot of water. The vast majority of the bumps under the skin are gone. I missed a dose this past weekend and ended up with a couple of bumps, But they heal pretty fast.
