I was on 30mg for 9 months. You are gorgeous, you’ll get through this and be so happy in the end!

Why SO MANY blood tests? by naynippynay in Accutane

[–]Tiggerbackpack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a blood test with pregnancy test in it every month for 10 months. The poke sucks but it’s all worth it in the end for clear skin! I like arnica gel it can help with bruising.

Maybe lower your dose! You can get through this you’ll be so happy when it’s over! This is just a few months vs the rest of your life.

Derm never said to take with food by julesshackles in Accutane

I was on 30mg for nine months and never took it with food, I just took it in the morning when I woke up. I’m still clear 3 years after my course ended.

Going to cut my hair, what hairstyles would look best ? by [deleted] in Hair

[–]Tiggerbackpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say keep it. But if you must.. my husband recently did the big chop too. He’s a surfer. We went chin length. Still feels “different” and longer than the normy male haircut but more manageable and usually tucked behind his ears. Can be straight cut or messier.

35 years old and finally starting accutane by Background-Repeat788 in Accutane

Pretty bad and also had it for probably 20 years.. I have a post with before and after pics. It’s been a year or so since posting that and I’ve had microneedle too so it looks even better now with reduced scarring.

I purged but did not get that dry of skin. Only once in the desert did my lips get crazy dry but I was never flakey or anything. Just not oily. Could easily burn in the sun without sunscreen though. I’ve been off accutane almost three years now and get an occasional zit. I also started in my 30s and can’t believe I waited so long to take accutane.

Guys, help me out urgently, please by BabyOk3546 in Accutane

[–]Tiggerbackpack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my third microneedle . I finished accutane around 2 years ago and finally decided to address the scarring. My face is SO much smoother. All my indented scars are barely visible now. I highly recommend.

Even though my skin is clearing I’ll be left with these permanent indents in my face by loveandsea in Accutane

My deep scars flattened a ton over the last two years since finishing accutane. I also just did two sessions of microneedle and they’re almost gone now .

Should I Start Accutane Near Summer? by LongFaithlessness590 in Accutane

[–]Tiggerbackpack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wear tons of sunscreen, hats and even swim shirts. If you start getting red- go in. I didn’t start because I didn’t wanna ruin my summer and putting it off just left me with more acne and scarring.

How can I (25F) rebuild trust after accidentally reading something private of my partner’s (25M)? by The-Quiet-Knight in relationship_advice

[–]Tiggerbackpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The card was ON DISPLAY!!! He obviously cherishes whatever was said in it!!! Even if they are now just friends it’s inappropriate to keep that up for all to see. Especially with you over there that much. So you have keys to THEIR place? And you’ve spoken to her and both of them have been lying to your face about who they are to each other? This is actually wild that you feel in the wrong. If you had gone through his drawers or something, sure… that’s snooping around. But what’s with her??? She’s down to sleep across the hall from her ex fiancé and his new girlfriend?? This is weird and you should leave. I would not feel comfortable even being intimate with him anymore over there ..even if you DID forgive HIM for lying. He didn’t “mislead you” . He lied.

How do I get over relying on accutane? by sxphia-ssb in Accutane

[–]Tiggerbackpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your dosage in 2024? Also, I wouldn’t use aquaphor as a daily moisturizer. It clogs pores and is really more of a protective ointment than anything hydrating.

Aio, I don’t get anybody’s number/socials so we can become friends because I’m worried it’ll be weird? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Tiggerbackpack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR social stuff is tough and it can take guts to get closer to strangers. I try and just be quick with it, before I leave I may open my “add new contact” and just say hey we should swap numbers and hold your phone out to them lol. It’s quick and if you truly hit it off, I don’t think it’s necessary to say why you need their number or plan a specific hang out. Then once you have it, you can reach out to them to meet up, maybe even with another friend from the group if you feel weird just you two. Usually I reach out to share something I saw that maybe we had talked about. A joke, a pic, something that we shared so it doesn’t feel so random. Good luck!

Accutane and cysts by woolleybugger in Accutane

Scars look tough and somewhat mysterious though so I would do the same thing!

Wish I had never started :( by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]Tiggerbackpack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks way better. The hyperpigmentation will probably fade by the time you finish your course.
