i am on my seventh day of acutane at 40 mg, my back and chest have already cleared a noticeable amount, however my face has already dried out tremendously as well as my lips and eyes and i seem to have a worse break out then before i started the treatment, hoping this phase will pass quickly. good luck to you!

My sixteen year old daughter just starting using accutane. Notice an immediate response to her secretion of oil. She typically poured oil from the pores in her nose. So first month was great. Now beginning 2nd month and additional stress in her life, she has had additional blemishes (she gets the large cyst like ones in t- zone only) They dont last long- dry up and leave black bacteria scarring that I believe will take a week or so to fade. Make-up helps with that issue. Looking forward to the end results and all this treatment (3 years worth of antibiotics and topicals- that can't be GOOD for you either!) to be over with XD

Ive just finished my 6 month on accutane. I was on 20 mg a day for the first 3 months and 40mg for the last 3. Im still having mild breakouts and was wondering if this will clear up? im hoping i didnt take too low of a dose to work completely. Please let me know, im hoping this one cycle will be enough..

Hey there...I took accutane when I was a junior is high school (so about 17 yrs old) and I was only on it for about 4 to 5 months. It did get worse before it got better, which is normal with any medicine, but afterwards my face was absolutely clear. Not having to cover it up with makeup was the best feeling ever! This lasted about 6 months. Now I am 21 and I still have random breakouts, but hey...accutane is only 92% permanent. I am thinking of going on it again to really knock it out. I would def recommend it.
My side effects included dry skin and chapped lips.

I've been on accutane (80 mg) for a month and one week. i do still have acne although it isn't as bad as it was. If it wasn't for one spot which is like 3 big pimples piled together then my face would almost be clear for the most part. If i do get a new pimple then they usually dry up and die within a day or two unless its a big one. Perhaps one of my favorite effects this drug has is the dramatic amount of oil that my body no longer produces. i used to have to wash my face 3 times a day along with 2 showers in order to keep the oils under control. now i can get away with taking 1 shower every 2 days with no face washing if i choose too. my face isn't dry its just not oily.
one of the worst parts of this drug is that your lips get chapped very badly i counter it with Vaseline works pretty well. and it also causes my face to turn red and heat up sometimes. although it goes away pretty fast and usually happens only after a shower.

I'm starting my 3rd month of Accutane, 60 mL a day, and am expecting to see drastic changes by the end of this month. True that the you get worst at first, I had acne like never before, but fortunately for me, I attend a high school where many other students themselves have under gone the treatment and continue to support me in my decision on taking the treatment. In fact, almost of my close friends have taken Accutance, around 10, and all of them have clear skin, and trust me, some of them had really bad acne, way worst then me. Besides chapped lips, I have nothing else to really complain about. I play soccer at the competitive level and haven't seen any difference in my play. I will say however, it took me longer to warm up before practices and games because of the aches in my legs during the first and second month, however, since then, the aches have seised. Put lotion on everyday and carry chap stick with you everywhere you go and you'll be on your way to clearer and better skin.

i have been taking acutain for about 7 months, my face has cleared amazingly, although i still get the odd break outs here and there. but the thing is they are not the big ones. they are just small and they clear within a day or to. i recomend acutain to anyone who has bad acne, i can say its the worste thing

I have been on accutane for about a month and my skin has gotten significantly worse, however my skin is no longer oily and I only seem to get pimples in the once place. My doctor said that the drug brings everything to the surface of the skin and this is why your skin can get worse when you are taking it. I got severely depressed in the first two weeks of taking it but this subsided and I don't experience that anymore, I also have very dry lips and sever back pain.
I have regular check ups with my specialist and blood tests and I take a 20mg tablet once a day and then twice every secon day.
The way I see it is, I was depressed and self conscious when I wasn't on the drug because I had acne so using a chap stick and doing a little yoga for back pain a reasonable trade.

HI,
I took accutane about 5 years ago and it worked great. My skin was pre much flawless..I didn't have to use any sort of medicine any more. After 5 years, it has come back :-(... I am thinking of going on accutane again... :-( I believe it came back because i started getting facials done...... I forgot that my skin is still acne prone....

accutane is for severe acne, or for acne that can't be healed with any other medications or soaps. in the first 2 weeks it will get better before it gets worse - this is because it is making all the acne that would normally come through later, come out in a short amount of time, all at once. acne must dry out so it can heal otherwise it likes its moist, dirty environment.

I have been on Claravis for 5 months now and I can say that it does not seem to work well for me... :-( Even a little stress has made my face just explode completely. My skin is dry and it does seem to heal somewhat fast, but it hasnt stopped the blackheads and the huge bumps with the puss from coming back about once every 2 weeks... I really hate the acne I have and it can be very embarrassing to go out in public. Does anyone know when this is gonna clear up??? Im soooo sick of it and the drug doesnt seem to work for me.... at least not yet. I really hope results come within the next month or two or im gonna have to give up. Im a 19 year old male and so far, I am not seeing the results that make the pill worth it... :-(
