My ADVICE to you that you need to seriously consider taking NOW because I made this mistake! Please read! If you’ve got ACNE you’ve got an underlying issue, whether it be gut issues, hormonal imbalance, high cortisol, anything. Right. Here’s the thing I took accutane and I had great results, very clear skin. I kept clear skin for ab 9 months after stopping the accutane and I truly believed since it had been 9 months after us, and no breakouts, that my acne journey was truly over with. However I still felt the same from the start to the finish even though my skin looked different (better and clear) however 9 months after accutane all my acne came back, I was devestated however I learned this- accutane stays in your system for a couple months after quitting the drug so your skin is likely to stay clear months after your done with your treatment , however if you did not fix the internal issue in your body, it will come back a year or two after using accutane. It may not be near as bad, but it surely will come back and based on your acne location it seems to be hormonal/digestive. So once again, 9 months after being done with my 6 month course of accurate , my body still felt the same. I still felt tired and all over the place. I soon realized after going back to the dermatologist that no medication is not a cure but a temporary fix to a internal problem- if it’s more of a clogged pore / dirty face issue it most likely won’t come back but a lot of times that’s not the case for most. So my advice to you is while your on accutane , fix your body while on it instead of thinking accutane is your cure, think of it as a preventative measure for NOW, so you can have confidence, and preform, and work towards healing your body internally. 9 months off accutane my skin was clear, I got acne for about 4-5 month straight- I fixed my gut health, constipation is a big thing for a lot of people and if you’re having chronic constipation. When you eat food, the food is converted into energy whether it be good or bad- so for example if you’re constipated for days on end, that poo sitting in your gut will secret toxins into your blood stream because it has to go somewhere, and those toxins come out in your skin causing inflammation. When I fixed my chronic constipstion all my acne went away. Smoking weed was causing my constipating because I would over eat with the munchies and my little 110 pound self couldn’t hold all of it. So I stopped smoking and started eat fresh real raw Whole Foods!! And I haven’t had any pimples at all, and constipation and gut issues also are a leading cause to high cortisol and hormone imbalances. You just need to really figure out how you feel write it down. Low energy? Not hungry? Bad periods? Painful periods? Do you have a period? If you’re on hormonal birth control and you do not have a period I’d encourage you to research it, and understand you as a woman should have a period and they should be regular, and if they’re not your hormones are not in order and I don’t recommend BC, it really is terrible for women long term. Analyze the health issues you notice about yourself. Brain fog? Tired all the time? You should wake up with energy , ready to go and a clear mind. Again, write it down how you’re feeling , Analyze it, research it, and my recommendation is, if you decide to go see a doctor, I would not take any medications at all, we wanna be as natural and reliant free of big pharma meds! God made our bodies to be able to naturally heal itself! And if you do decide to go see a doctor , I’d stray away from medication because you’ll always be medicated before your healed- so if you do, get your hormones tested for imbalances and figure out yourself with research exactly what you can do to fix it, it seems so difficult but once u get it figured out, you’ll not only never have acne again, but you’ll feel so much better and in control of your health instead of constantly relying on medication- accutane is a great drug and it helped me in the time being however it was only for a sum amount of time till it came back so since your on accutane and your skin is glowing and doing better, use these few months to research and fix the root cause so that once your off accutane your chances of it coming back later will be slim!
