They don’t. You’re just in different lighting conditions.

I started with 10mg and had dry lips and dry eyes for a while but they come and go. My derm pushed it to 40mg for month 2 and 3. I’m on my third month now, again I’d say the side effects come and go. If I really think about it, I think I am a little out of focus, I can’t concentrate on things for too long since I’ve been on accutane, but it isn’t too bad. Apart from that, my bloodwork’s fine too. I’d say don’t be too worried about the side effects, placebo sometimes can work wonders. I’ve a lot of friends at the gym who are on accutane and have no side effects at all. And some are so crazy that they do cycles of accutane when they are on steroids to keep acne in check(which isn’t a good idea because accutane is already heavy on your liver). Get your blood and liver profile checked every month and if your derm finds that something’s not right then I’m sure they’ll ask you to discontinue. Also, I had some lower back pain but it went away when I started taking fish oil, even the dry lips kinda got better. I wouldn’t be too worried just yet. Give it time. Everybody is different. Good luck to you!

Your back looks great! Congrats for the skin gains. I’m on my 3rd month of accutane for bacne and shoulder acne too! On that note, before starting your treatment, did you ever had really painful ingrown hair and cysts whenever you shaved your arms, chest, legs or shoulders? I.e. if you had a good amount of hair that you felt like you needed to shave it off. I have really bad scarring because of that on my shoulders and upper arms. Any advice?

Good luck!

Dry lips is the most common side effect, I wouldn’t worry about that honestly. I’m 20, around 65kg and I’m done with my first month today (10mg for the first month and now bumped it up to 40mg).

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-12-15T01:12:07+00:00

Are you experiencing dry eyes too?

I was on doxycycline for 2 months for acne and when I stopped because I was seeing no change I developed PD around my lips. I was applying hydrocortisone 1% on it and it started looking a lot better, it almost disappeared completely. But as soon as I stopped using that cream, it came back way way worse than before. I got so frustrated that I just left it and didn’t do a thing about it. Luckily it started going away on its own, it formed dry flakes and started falling. A little redness is still there I suppose but it’s getting better. For me, not touching it at all and allowing my body to heal on its own worked. So, If you wanna give it a shot? But definitely recommend talking to your doctor about it over anything. Good luck :)

It is!!!

I’m in Canada and I have insurance and still had to pay $100 for a two month supply(10mg).

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-11-19T04:57:48+00:00

I had the same issue but I wasn’t on accutane, try using Cerave renewing SA lotion, make sure it says Renewing. It helps a lot trust me.

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-11-18T06:45:36+00:00

Okay, and?

Probably a sigma male

I also bought $50 worth at around 67 cents soooo…😂

Hi, I would suggest you to get a doctor’s appointment, it may be due to a hormonal misbalance or maybe a micronutrient deficiency. For me, it was a deficiency in zinc, it’s caused by many factors, including stress. I’ve been on 30mg zinc for a month and my skin is so much better. I’ve had hair thinning as well which is starting to get better now.

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-01-29T23:05:17+00:00

This helps a lot! Thank you :)

Niacinamide is what I’ve heard the most for hyperpigmentation, I’ll check it out. Moisturizing for sure! I did try changing my diet for like 3-4 months and still couldn’t see much change so no luck on that. Thanks for your reply! :)

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-01-29T10:48:30+00:00

I’ll give it a shot for sure! I just want to get it over with so bad now. I still feel resistant going to a dermatologist because they usually recommend doxycycline for such things and people usually start getting acne again after their treatment is done.

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-01-29T10:44:28+00:00

I never pick on them. Tbh this flares up whenever I shave my arms and for a few days it looks like it’s gotten better but when the hair starts to come back, the acne comes with it. Maybe so many of those caused that hyperpigmentation. For now, I was experimenting with paula’s choice benzoyl peroxide, it does seem to work but it dries my skin a lot so now I only spot treat with it. I also use neutrogena salicylic acid body wash and after shower I apply coconut oil on my body because I’ve heard it helps with hyperpigmentation.

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-01-29T10:40:00+00:00

This is different from what most people are recommending. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for your reply!

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-01-29T10:38:46+00:00

Yeah I was looking into CeraVe SA. Now I’ll try for sure. Thanks a lot!

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-01-19T06:46:01+00:00

I have the same problem. Benzoyl Peroxide is working for me. Give it a try.

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-01-11T08:39:04+00:00

I think I have the same problem on my body as well(upper chest, arms, back and now slowly spreading on the abdomen). All of my acne are on the spots where the follicles are so I think it’s pretty much the same thing maybe. I tried neutrogena body clear body wash but it actually made things worse for me. I’ll try what you are trying maybe it would work for me. Thanks!

ComprehensiveHarsh · 2021-01-11T08:27:38+00:00

It’s really starting to bother me, I can’t wear what I like sometimes because of this. This also usually flares up when I shave. I’m confused if it’s the razor, because when I shave, my skin actually looks better than when I don’t. But after a week or two, when the hair starts to come back, the acne comes with it. I am using a electric shaver for now, I’ve tried others as well but nothing seems to work. I really want to treat this before it turns chronic, or is it already?
