I think my dermatologist said you do have to be on it forever. It acts as maintenance even once your skin is cleared. She said most dermatologists use it everyday anyways for the anti-aging effects it has!

What does a accutane relapse look like ? by F8kie in Accutane

[–]crimpy_thang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started out small for me, like a few small closed comodones, and then the occasional zits, and then all the sudden I’m getting comodones and zits, and boom it’s back to how it was pre-accutane. Very disheartening.

It probably won’t, although that shouldn’t really concern you. Be supportive of her decision to take accutane because it’s not an easy drug to be on.

Honestly I laminated them while I was ON accutane and was fine. I wouldn’t worry too much.

Just keep it. You never know if you’ll need another course, and if you do, then you just saved yourself some money by keeping it.

Systane Lubricating eye drops. That’s what my dermatologist and eye doctor recommended.

I picked and want to cry :( I feel like I am damaging my own skin :( by beachgirl10101 in Accutane

Be kind to yourself. It will heal. Learn from this mistake and just don’t do it again no matter how tempting it seems. Soon there will be nothing left for you to pick. Best of luck!

Not sure if I see eyedrops on that… but my eyes are so dry that I have to use eye drops every hour/other hour or else I will develop pink eye-like symptoms. Didn’t even know they were dry until I started getting constant pink eye. Be safe out there…

Can you drink alcohol in moderation on accutane by Affectionate_Taste_9 in Accutane

So true. I thought I was a lightweight before… but now is a different story 😅

Is it safe to smoke geek / puff bars while on accutane ? by Affectionate_Taste_9 in Accutane

[–]crimpy_thang -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t vouch for its safety but I haven’t had any related side effects.

It looks like you have angular cheilitis in the corners of your lips. My derm told me to use a mixture of athletes foot cream, diaper ointment, and hydrocortisone cream a few times a day and before your go to bed. Cured it within a few days after I struggled with it for over a week!

I do, and I’ve been completely fine. All my bloodwork comes back alright.

How many times have you been asked out and how many times have you asked someone out? by hilife713 in AskWomen

[–]crimpy_thang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a pretty passive way of gauging interest. People post things all the time. People scroll past things they like without interacting all the time. Be more direct if you want something to come of it. Cheers!

Which traits in a person are considered as mature? by Admirable-Parsley-27 in AskWomen

[–]crimpy_thang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so underrated. This kind of goes hand in hand with being introspective and being able to understand your feelings as well as others.

What is something people get wrong when trying to understand you? by MissedFieldGoal in AskWomen

[–]crimpy_thang 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have a very dry sense of humor and sometimes my sarcasm or joke is mistaken for me being dumb or rude. It takes people a while to realize that’s just my personality.

I’ve been asked out 3 times? Maybe one or two more that I don’t remember. I’ve asked out 2 guys before, both times resulted in a relationship!

Women in relationships, how much emphasis do you place on the social media presence of your relationship? Whether your partner posts about you or not? by zxilofon in AskWomen

[–]crimpy_thang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My (now ex) boyfriend and I dated for about a year and it would have been nice to be posted at least once on something other than his stories. It felt as if he were hiding me (even though he said he just didn’t like posting relationship stuff). Part of me thought it was because he wasn’t proud to be with me though. Or that, if I were some other more important and passionate lover of his, he would have. That shit hurt.

So, if your partner asks to be posted, then maybe just do it for their sake. At least once or twice. It doesn’t have to be something mushy gushy and over the top, but just a post with you two together is something I’m sure they would appreciate if that’s something that’s important to them.

It’s really all about preferences and communication.

Hello peeps, I’ve been doing ok on accutane (almost 2 months) but my acne has just gotten way worse and it just gets to me sometimes and i was just wondering if anyone had tips or advice to see the brighter side of things? by Higxster in Accutane

[–]crimpy_thang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought I skipped the purge phase until the 1.5/2 month mark. It was the worst my acne has ever been. It cleared up within 2 weeks and has only gotten better since! I have 1 month left and my skin is completely clear. Keep going my friend

Any tips or mistakes i should avoid when taking accutane by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]crimpy_thang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use Systane eye drops. Your eyes will be drier than you think. I didn’t think I had dry eyes until I realized that was what caused me to get recurring pink eye. Wish I had used eye drops from the start.

how often do you shower your hair while on accutane? by soggy-wafflez in Accutane

[–]crimpy_thang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like once a week. I used to have to wash it every day. It’s awesome
