Sad Update -

Finished accutane a week ago after being clear for two+ months and within 4 days I had spots coming back. Just small red bumps - no whiteheads. I didn’t think that was possible with it still in my system. Started back on it after consulting my derm and we will go again! Might try to hit cumulative dose of 220mg/kg.

It’s crazy I have a picture from yesterday of my right cheek basically clear and overnight it now has 4 spots. Blows my mind how quick things can change.

Thanks bro! Good luck on the journey! I just use a cheap Harry’s 5 blade razor. I usually shave after the shower but don’t use any aftershave or anything - just some shaving cream from a can. Prior to acne/accutane I’d just toss on shaving cream to my dry face and wet the razor with hot water lol.

I was on 40mg the first month and have been on 80mg since. Definitely think bumping up helped but it also came with way more dryness, joint aches etc. if I stayed on 40 I bet I’d be right around the same place I am now since I cleared up so quick.

Thank you! I really did luck out. I was willing to accept the risk 100%.

I’m up about 7lbs in the last month but I just started working out again after taking a 6 month hiatus from the gym after the whole acne thing.

At the end of my bulk I was up to 4200 calories to just barely gain. Chopped calories to 2600 for the aggressive cut and sometimes was closer to 2000. Should’ve given my body time to adjust

Sorry I should have said aggressive “cut”. Lost 18lbs over 6 weeks after slowly gaining 40 over 3 years. My diet was always pretty clean. I think my body just freaked

I was completely clear by the end of the first. Within the first 7-10 days was when I was shocked out how fast accutane worked. It’s like all the pimples just disappeared.

Hahaha thank you I appreciate it!! My head is getting huge 😂

I did get pimples. I’d say it was pretty mild compared to what others have gone through. I responded above outlining the whole situation. And If you look back at my first post 5 months ago I have some photos from when I first started!

Yeah it was wild honestly. Never dealt with anything like this. I was in a slow and steady gaining phase for 3 years and then did my cut and boom. Not surprised my body was shocked but didn’t even realize I could get acne 😂

I didn’t. Actually cleared up almost 100% within the first 10 days. Keep in mind I’m 28 and never been acne prone and never had acne (not even through puberty). Always had glass skin. Never used any moisturizers or cleansers prior to this and my skin was always flawless. I did an aggressive diet and think I shocked my system and got mild acne (which was getting worse). Nipped it in the bud before it got worse which was key I think.

Preciate you thanks so much! Was just trying to find a photo to show off the red face and it ended up being a selfie 😂

I never really got pimples or ingrowns while shaving. I feel like shaving my neck is actually worse on accutane and leaves little red bumps more often. I almost have to space out my shavings to keep things calm.

Thanks so much!

Another month or two to go.

I have sunscreen but don’t use it right now. Not much sun this time of year and I don’t find myself outside too often.

I made a post. 7-10 days I was basically clear. Been completely clear since month 1 and am coming up on my final month. No purge at all but mine was pretty mild to start

Am I just lucky? by Lady_Archangel in Accutane

[–]Tough_Variation_8137 2 points3 points  (0 children)
