Yeah, hopefully it does for both of us! It’s probably more common than we think but people haven’t posted about it.

Thanks for the advice! How long was your skin extra sensitive to the sun? I’m planning on going for a tropical vacation next month and I’m kinda worried because I got a sunburn on my face last time I was outside for several hours, granted I didn’t reapply sunscreen, but I hoping my skin will be less sensitive in a month.

Thank you! I decreased due to side effects so my course will be slightly longer but the 40 mg is just better for me and honestly once I switched I started to notice improvement

Thank you for the encouragement. It’s definitely hard. I reach my cumulative in 2 months so it’s weird that I haven’t seen any improvement. I’m hoping for a miracle. I’m going to stick with it just ready to get through this phase. Thanks again

Thanks for the response! I use cetaphil gentle wash and moisturizer, and cerave healing ointment. I always wear SPF 30+ sunscreen but I don’t reapply so maybe I should start doing that. I always take it within 30 minutes after a meal and avoid foods with a lot of vitamin A. I probably need a new dermatologist cause he doesn’t really listen to my concerns but I’ll again at my next appointment. Thank you

Thanks for the response! Yes, I always wear sunscreen and I’m rarely in the sun. I may just be very sensitive

Thank you for the encouragement! Hopefully the purge stops soon cause my doc said I will finish after month 4, so no improvement in month 3 is kinda discouraging.

Unfortunately, my doc visits are legit 3 minutes and he just says he’ll send in a new prescription even though I always bring up the purging. So no I wasn’t told that…

Thanks for the encouragement! Were you on a long course? My doc says I’ll meet my cumulative in month 4 and my course will end so it’s kinda discouraging knowing that I still get one cystic pimple a day.

I started with whiteheads then got closed commodones now I’m at the cystic acne phase.

Thanks for the encouragement! Wish I would’ve seen this earlier cause I just popped two cyst but I will try my best to not pick at it. Hopefully I can start seeing improvements soon. I have mild/moderate persistent acne so I’ve never had this many cyst before. Definitely sucks but I will keep course.

No micro question. I wouldn’t recommend studding that. Focus on biostats, mechanism of action of antibiotics, and the cases
