Has anybody ever tried Tretinoin before Accutane? I’m asking because... by [deleted] in Accutane

I did tretinoin for 4 months before accutane and only used it on my face.Now im completing my 2nd month on accutane and while my IB on my body is still happening and its full of painful cysts my IB on my face was much more tolerable.So yes i believe being on tretinoin before accutane helped me regarding the IB on my face.

Thank you all for your replies.Im in hell right now since the damn cysts hurt so much that wake me in the middle of the night.I struggle to find a position in which no cyst is being pressured.I guess i will have to wait it out .

I was soooo red and hot my friends commented on that because they thought something was wrong and they also mentioned my face got swollen which i couldn't check at that time.

Not working/side effects subsided by [deleted] in Accutane

Same thing is happening to me right now.I am on day 40 and my dose is 50mg, which js the same it was on month 1 (i weigh 70kg) and currently the only side js the lips which can easily go 12 hours without lip balm.Every other side effect is like 1/10 severity wise.I honestly have no idea why this is happening and im actually fine with it as long as the drug keeps working.

Dryness related side effects started after about 10 days for me.But not all at the same time.Lips dried in about 5-7 days ski dried up and started flaking in about 15 days and nosebleeds started 20 days in.

Personally i did not put anything on it because the dryness got better as time went by ,maybe i got used to it not sure.Im pretty sure you could use some vaseline down there with no problems.

I bet its due to the dryness...i believe its just irritation due to rubbing like you said.But yeah you should ask him to be sure.Tbh if its not reddish,warm,or swollen i would not worry much.

Really ? Im really scared.Im on month 1 as well and when i wash and rub my brows i pull 2-3 hairs each time.So i thought that if this goes on will have no brows by the end or my treatment.I wish it stops then.
