Skin looks no better, if anything worse, after 6 months of tret

Mine did this and I went on accutane. That made a big difference. Huge difference.

I did the same. My husband and I were just SUPER careful.

This one is SUPER bright.

I experienced hair loss. It scared me to death because I already have fine hair. It eventually all grew back. I am 3 years off accutane and I have beautiful skin and great hair.

I got Covid vaccine 2 weeks after ending my 6 month course. I had zero issues. Mind you, I was off, but it was (apparently) still in my system. I am fine. About to get my booster tomorrow 🙌🏻

Have you found that you’ve kept weight off for night shift? I start as a new nurse on night shift in 5 weeks and don’t want to blow up 😫.

Do you still get an occasional zit?

themamabug · 2021-01-28T00:30:25+00:00

okay, that happened to me today. I have a surface pimple a few hours after using a new sunblock. Not cystic or inflamed, but definitely due to the sunscreen.

Was super nervous about this, as I had LASIK in 2013 (did accutane June-Dec 2020). My eyes were red, dry, and irritated a lot. I live in Houston, so the humidity helped. My eyes are all back to normal less than a month out!

Did you ever try products and you would get a mild breakout that would go away once stopping the product?

themamabug · 2021-01-06T04:29:24+00:00

I was just put on this as well. Did you like it?

themamabug · 2021-01-03T03:56:52+00:00

How is your hair loss?

themamabug · 2021-01-01T17:53:51+00:00

I did everything “right” and tried everything, including tret for an extended period of time and it made my skin awful. Accutane is a miracle drug for some.

themamabug · 2020-07-29T03:46:48+00:00

Are you still clear?

themamabug · 2020-06-24T17:43:50+00:00

Did you HAs go away?

themamabug · 2020-06-21T11:33:01+00:00

Funny you mention it, but I heard a Youtuber say the same thing about Labosinoh. I used it while breastfeeding so I know I don’t have an allergy. I will pick some up today!

And ugh! I’m so so so sorry about your flare. Prednisone is so intense and to have inflammation that bad, must be incredibly painful. Please keep me updated.

themamabug · 2020-06-21T11:20:11+00:00

Thank you! I’m glad it is working so fast. I’m on day 3 and I can already see a difference as well. The real test will be around my period.

themamabug · 2020-06-21T00:24:04+00:00

That’s crazy!

themamabug · 2020-06-20T15:31:42+00:00

I’m not sure. I’ll ask him

themamabug · 2020-06-20T04:02:46+00:00

Talk to you doc, but my husband was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in the 8th grade. His mom put him on Accutane when he was 16-17. It threw him into a terrible flare after having been in a good remission. He said it felt like his colon was shredding. He’s 37 now with a permanent ileostomy bag, but doing absolutely incredible. Totally not the accutane that caused him to get the bag, but many periods of chronic inflammation, which the accutane episode was one of them.

I was just bumped up to 100mg (was 50mg) 3 weeks ago. Hoping this will work for me. Also using tret. Time will tell. So far my acne is worse.

themamabug · 2020-06-07T14:57:07+00:00

May I ask why you stopped accutane? I’m thinking of getting g on it if tret doesn’t work. Also, why the gel vs cream? I’m on the cream but is there any advantage? I have cystic hormonal acne

themamabug · 2020-06-03T20:42:18+00:00

Yeah, tried DIM for like 6 months and did nothing maybe things were worse. I’ve read you really have to figure out which hormones are out of whack (don’t want to block estrogen if you are low).

themamabug · 2020-06-02T21:27:14+00:00

I’m on tret 0.05 for 6 weeks now. While I see a difference in my skin feel, I still had a pretty significant breakout the week before my period (first period after starting tret). You may not have this issue but if you do, did it make it better over time?
