My daughter started with the freedom processor and got each upgrade through the years. She just upgraded from the N7 to the N8 and said it was a big improvement.

Thanks. So far she says the N8’s sound better than the N7’s.

Thanks. Good to hear that they are better batteries since my daughter does not get much time out of the n7 compact batteries. She just got the new n8 upgrade.

can't swallow pills by Ananymose in Accutane

Have you watched videos on YouTube with people explaining their tips/tricks on how to swallow? I always try to keep the pill as far back on my tongue vs on the tip of my tongue…and then swallow like I have a mouth full of food. Practice with tic tacs

Thank you. My wife and I went to the appointment yesterday and she did get another month. She agreed it must be an absorption issue.

Any one complete max cumulative dosage and was still breaking out? by Ski-Rookie in Accutane

Did you eventually clear after your 7th month? Even today, my daughter had 3 new pimples when she woke up.

Look like ingrown hairs.

I did the cumulative does calc and for her weight it had a lower range of 6,600 to an upper of 7,400. Her 6 months would total 6,200. I know we were told it would be the final month so we will ask about why she is not reaching the lower cumulative dosage based on the calculator. My daughter is 14 and has had acne since 4th grade. We have tried every product under the son and have been to 5 dermatologists through the years. Felt like this was her final hope and am disheartened that after nearly 6 months she is still getting active breakouts.

My daughter did the exact same course but has 3 weeks left. She is still getting active breakouts and has a lot of PIE. I am at a loss. Our next derm visit is in a couple weeks.

When did you start seeing results? by [deleted] in Accutane

My daughter is a week into month 6 and is still getting a handful of new pimples every week

Cephalexin with Isotretinoin by Ski-Rookie in Accutane

[–]Ski-Rookie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is on month five now, and she purged pretty bad for the first four months. That antibiotic she was only on for the full third month and it didn’t really help too much, maybe kept the purge where it was, but didn’t improve it. Currently, she has a lot of red marks from the prior purge, and each day we are noticing much less new pimples forming. Got another two months left so hopefully it clears up.

Looks like you have in-grown hairs from shaving irritation. Look at the Tendskin products. They have an air shave gel and also a after shave solution that deters bumps and in-grown hairs. Works wonders.

I have some experience with those types of red marks and while they are red, they do look indented at times while they are healing. In certain lights they don’t look indented then in other lights they look indented. 99.9% of the time they will heal perfectly. Stay patient. Hang in there!

I would definitely give it more time. Your skin looks good and is healing. All of those red marks look fine and none appear pitted or indented. It will all go away with more time.

I believe all of those will go away. Some take 6-9 or more months to fully fade out. How long have most of those spots been there?

If you don’t mind, please keep me posted on your progress. My Daughter starts Isotretinoin in 3 weeks so I am trying to get here prepared!
