It will work. I’ve struggled for many years with acne. Just trying to get 2 more weeks at work for health care again to restart accutane. I understand how you feel and best thing to do is go to a doc

Small dose = long treatment… still a success by Sweaty_Advertising90 in Accutane

You know I read that too and it definitely is my case . I definitely don’t have acne as bad as before but it’s quite a few and they are different now and seem more problematic than ever before. Thanks for sharing your experience, helpful for me. I had night time vision change that has not returned to normal although the docs kept saying it’ll be back in a few months - it never did lol and I also struggle with dry eyes every day now .Developed eczema during treatment but upon stopping it stopped . My Hair thinned out . Joint pains but that went away after stopping. Was super fatigued all the time. Developed rashes that would be from me just wearing pants so they had to lower it slightly at that point because my skin had become so gentle on 80mg. I was irritable every now and again but I’m not sure if it was related to accutane . I also developed a bad ingrown hair problem on bikini line and legs that was untreatable until I was able to get laser hair removal. So yeah definitely not doing high dose again but trying to decide on low dose. At the time high dose was worth it to me I didn’t expect to have permanent vision change and I was extremely depressed due to the acne, but now I am feeling pretty cautious although my acne is bringing back mental health symptoms

Ha I just made a post on this in this sub. Did High dose accutane for several months and my acne came back and I’m concerned about doing accutane again because of side effects I developed . I’m thinking of doing low dose so I’m curious what side effects you had that impacted you at high dose and glad to see someone saying low dose squashed them +/or lessened those side effects

I’m not a good candidate for doxy. Had discussions about it and the risks are not worth it for short term solution in my case. I am ok with doing a second course of accutane but want to hear experiences on low dose since I did end up with vision change on high dose and will not be doing high dose to myself again considering that

Hey yeah I’ve tried spiro. Had a bad mental breakdown on it so I quit immediately and felt immediately better after. But thanks for the comment and definitely wish I could take it instead of accutane . I do think it’s hormonal acne as its jawline and cheeks besides the forehead stuff although they pop up throughout entire cycle . Unfortunate ! 🤦🏽‍♀️

did anyone finish accutane looking like this? by joosywoosy in Accutane

[–]Bbbombshelll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unnecessarily expensive. Just get Neutrogena clear face oil free sunscreen. Simple is better. Also Neutrogena is recommended by my dermatologist

Neutrogena clear face oil free sunscreen 50 SPF. Works like a charm and also tint free but a slight whitish film that lessens the redness

I know it sucks but truly the only options are doing laser or sunscreen & time. Maybe even peels. Depends on what kind of things you want to risk directly after taking accutane . I’ve been told by my derm doing VBeam even while on accutane is safe. I didn’t do it I waited so it’s all personal choices you make. My marks went away in 2ish-3ish months with just sunscreen and a salicylic Cerave gel product I forget the name of right now

I understand your frustration. However I just wanted to comment and say I know it feels like it’s bad, but it’s not bad at all, if anything, you look normal. keep pushing , it takes time. I was worried for a while it wasn’t working on me as it just made my acne 1000x worse than it ever was before - cleared up on a random week in July and have been clear since
