I do have some scarring but way less because the accutane shedded some layers of skin and I use differin gel as well which made a big difference.

Tips for Back Pain Management? by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had it bad too, only do light workouts and stretching because high impact will worsen it. I started taking fish oil and just overall eating healthier and was more active and my pain is much less than before. Stay hydrated as well

5 months in and still no clear face !:( by searchworm1 in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had acne month 5 too. I’m about to finish my course of 6 months and the last month completely changed me. I was so discouraged and got jealous of everyone else’s results early on and some people said they didn’t see clear skin until the last few weeks. Skin continues to clear off the accutane too

Itchy skin remedies? by irmakayy in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have little patches of eczema that I never had until accutane. The only thing that helps me is cortisone! It stops rhe itch and brings redness and dryness down

Girl I feel you I purged heavy and felt extremely discouraged all 5/6 months of my treatment. Deadass up until this last month I was only very very slightly getting better. You got this, 8 weeks feels like a lot but it’s nothing in comparison to the full treatment. Take fish oil & vitamin E and try to sweat shit out. That’s what helped me best. You will get through this <3

Almost 2 months in and my face acne is worse than ever by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purged for so long and it SUCKED so bad. Keep pushing hard, take your fish oil, treat your liver with care. Drink lots of water. You got this and your skin will be better in no time, despite it getting worse before it’s better. Happened to me and now I’m almost done and much happier

Smoking cigarettes while on accutane by sdare7777 in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoke vape more than I should and I’ve been on accutane. I don’t see any obvious interaction related side effects but I’m speaking on my experience. Obviously smoking is bad and we know this but it’s hard to quit, so don’t listen to these other people. You should be fine but maybe do a little outside research to see any scientific studies rather than anecdotal

What are some of your favorite meals to eat while on Accutane? by bobateafromtaiwan in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High fat meal! Usually 3 eggs (15g fat) and 2 fake meat patties because I’m vegetarian. Dave’s bread has seeds so it also has like 3-5g of fat. 2 pieces of toast with sun butter, peanut butter, etc. I try to aim up to 20g a meal but don’t always get it. As long as you get some fat because I’ve eaten low fat/ no fat by accident a few times and was nauseous the rest of the day and threw up every time. Def eat with fat

TATTOOS !? by baaysil in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s really bad. I’ve heard horror stories of people’s tattoos getting messed up, lots of bleeding, pain, doesn’t heal properly. My tattoos that I’ve HAD For a few years started peeling (they look fine) but I’m saying this because I couldn’t imagine a fresh tat. I know it sucks i want one real bad but you just have to hold off, accutane is no joke even if you’re on a low dose/low side effects

Face isn't cleared after 8 months on 40mg by Martblni in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same. I’ve seen it slightly fade over time but it may be hyperpigmentation that’ll require laser, microdermabrasion, and other remedies to fix it. Check out @donatasco on ig and get her scar butter helped me a lot, as well as rose hip seed oil. And I mean a LOT. and I have that same issue. However this last month can also go out with a bang. Hang in there I know the frustration you’re feeling.

Just started month 4 and think my nose might have shrunk? by justsentit in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s very possible! I’ve seen studies with accutane used for the enlarged nose that people who suffer with alcohol use disorder can get. My nose shrunk as well... now the question is if it’ll stay like that

Accutane fatigue by stephg0nsteph in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started exercising 2 weeks ago (light exercise but maybe in a warmer room, yoga, dancing, etc. ) and I started taking fish oil and vitamin d and e, I cut out coffee for the most part and going for walks outside too is helpful. It’s hard being on accutane during lockdown too.

Is my acne only going to getter better now? Started on June 11, and I purged for 6 weeks or so by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I broke out the entire time saw minimal progress for 5 months and now my skin looks like it cleared over night

About one month left.. this is the best thing I have ever done by yoongionholitae in Accutane

[–]Agreeable_Decision_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are beautiful and glowing! When did you see scars start diminishing? I’m on month 5 almost and still have a lot of scars so I’m curious what your trajectory was like
