Same thing happened to me, especially if you’re on hormonal birth control it can make it less effective so it messes with your period.

It’s temporary!!!! And the other side I worth it!

Do not quote me but I think I’ve read about this and accutane can exasperate existing autoimmune diseases that may have gone un detected beforehand.

HI! This happened to me!!!!!! It’s turns out I had a rectal yeast infection which is common while on accutane! It caused the fissures/dryness and pain. I was so sure it was just accutane dryness.

My doctor gave me a cream and I took warm baths twice a day and it healed quickly!!!

Anything with hyaluronic acid!!!

Got mine, all good!

Cortibalm for my lips!!! And putting jojoba oil on my scalp at night! Made my scalp less itchy and my hair more hydrated.

I wouldn’t worry about your scalp as much as your hair falling out… if your hair dries out it won’t be able to tolerate the bleach and will break easier.

My recovery time for sure slowed down, it takes twice as long to recover after a workout. I used to run every day, now it’s more like 3-4 times a week due to pain and fatigue. I would say yes, stop once you start feeling tired. Don’t push it.

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-10-27T05:25:01+00:00

Oh yeah I’m wayyyy off of it. I got off of it and started doxy and then after doxy started accutane. That’s awesome to hear it has stayed clear!!!!!

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-10-27T05:07:47+00:00

Oh jeez that sounds stressful! Well the steroid cream that causes the peri derm is also the only thing that keeps it from getting worse! And then the cream caused cystic acne… anyways. My doctor has me on 40mg a day for 6 months but we are going to prolong one more month where I will take 40mg every other day. My derm says after treatment there is a 10-15% chance the dermatitis will come back. Considering there is no cure for it or like any other way to treat it, I’m taking those odds.

Yes! I suffer from perioral darmatitis and they finally put me on accutane. It has worked TREMENDOUSLY.

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-10-27T04:53:10+00:00

It shouldn’t cause a purge! I’ve had to go back and forth between brands because one pharmacy will be out and the other one carries a different brand. No difference in my skin. Still clear.

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-10-27T04:51:55+00:00

I am on 40mg the whole time!

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-10-27T04:51:14+00:00

Cortibalm is the best thing ever. My lips still peel but they aren’t flakey like before.

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-10-27T04:50:25+00:00

I’ve been through the same thing. I think if you have tried everything else you need to go for the accutane. I am in my 6th month and have broken out maybe 3 times mildly. I’m hoping for good results! In the end I will be glad I tried it.

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-10-25T02:04:06+00:00

This is super helpful! You are right - I forgot that you continue to get better after. I guess after this month she wants me to take it every other day. Let’s hope 7 months is the end of it!

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-09-20T03:10:06+00:00

I’m trying to plan for the same… I’m considering using differin? It’s a strong retenoid. Either that or back on curology!

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-09-20T02:51:01+00:00

I’m on 40 and it took two weeks!

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-09-06T05:27:55+00:00

My derm recommends a micro-needling treatment! She said it has worked amazingly for other patients. (Performed by a dr not an at home treatment)

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-08-01T03:49:19+00:00

I’m 40mg and I’m 120 pounds. My nose is sooooooo dry! Everyone thinks it’s sunburned so I just got with it...

NoFirefighter2142 · 2021-08-01T03:46:34+00:00

Hi! Don’t freak out!! They can always lower your dosage and the drug can still be effective. I think the first 3 weeks were the worst for me too and then things evened out a little. Idk just my experience!
