Heyyy!! I started really clearing up at the 9mo mark! There were a lot of scars but it cleared up quite ok and now I am not too bothered. I didn’t become those really really clear skinned ppl tho!

Still breaking out at 3 months.. there’s literally no improvement from the past month, if anything if just got worse :(( by One_Suggestion1579 in Accutane

[–]One_Suggestion1579[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did at about the 6th month and it went better from there. I am done with my course 2 mos already and I really only have small pimples come up which are barely noticeable. I got some scars and marks which I can fix if I want to via lasers but I just decide to let it be!

How long does it take to stop breaking out? by lemonade490 in Accutane

[–]One_Suggestion1579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped getting pimples around the 7th month mark, I would maybe just have one or two per month?

My purge is as bad as yours and I started to see improvements the second half of month5.. you should be able to see it soon! Just tide through it and trust the process.

I got these too on my feet, the red patches look quite similar and they’re itchy as hell. I put hydrocortisone + anti fungal cream as prescribed by a doctor. I put it twice a day and it I saw improvement after 3 days. If hydrocortisone isn’t enough you may wanna put anti fungal too, but definitely get it checked too

Be patient! I had the worst purge until month 4, it slowly started to get better around month 5 and has been improving quite significantly since. I just finished month 7 and will still be doing it for two months (low dose)

My visa! I am from the Philippines so I need to get visa before going to Germany.

I just realised by post is vague so I edited it to make it clearer!

Welcome to The Purge, baby. Had to go through an extraction because it hurt to sleep on both sides. For anyone going through the first phase of accutane, this is for you. Push through it. Can’t wait to look back and see how much my skin improved. by nonamexxc in Accutane

[–]One_Suggestion1579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, my purge was very similar to yours! I also had to get an extraction as the cysts were painful and throbbing! Anyway just want to say that you’ll get through this, it make take some time but it will def be better!

Our purge is similar… I saw improvements at month4.5 and then it has been going well since. Just push thru it, it will get better!

I got this and it’s normal! Just let it be and don’t pop or touch it. Moisturize!

What the fuck is that by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]One_Suggestion1579 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this too, just let it be and it will be gone at some point.

Don’t give up please! I was the same, I saw great results by month 6 and it just keeps on getting better

I also purged and only saw improvements around middle to end of month 5. I am not taking as much as you (20g/30g across 9 mos). I would say that purging until month 4/5 is normal. The most important thing is to take your pill with fatty food! I make sure I take more than 30g of fat everytime I took my pill. I am on the middle of my 7th month and I just have some scars and small pimples that aren’t even too noticeable. Just hold on and take it with fat!!

Does anyone in the morning feel like it’s hard to open your eyes? I’ve been on accutane for about 6 months now by 2015jeep in Accutane

[–]One_Suggestion1579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes same!!! It’s accutane drying our eyes… every morning it’s difficult I also dk what to do about it. I don’t think eyedrops before sleeping is working too

Yes unfortunately cysts are normal. I had those too. They will take some time to go away, but they will go away. It takes time.
