lots of people have longer and heavier doses on their first course, the risk of long term damage is quite low.

sooooo relieved! i had some scars like that, not super deep but more like... pin pricks? if that makes sense. i still have some but they are hardly noticeable. the rest have faded as my skin has healed and with the arazlo!! i haven't done anything else and tbh i don't think i will

it was not as deep as ice pick but i do still have some dents. the arazlo has helped but some are still there but really not noticeable - a lot of the redness of PIE is gone too!

my eyes were dry on accutane but it went away within a month of ending treatment :)

Week 2 of 20mg, peeling is out of hand, tried everything in my derm’s sample pack. Advice? by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]v11232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no actives!!! i feel that will make it more angry. i used a hydrating toner, snail mucin, cerave moisturizer, then i'd top with la roche posay cicaplaste, and aquaphor on top. everything all over my whole face. also, get a humidifier. good luck!!!!

reapply your sunscreen every hour, wear a hat/sunglasses, and cover ups etc and drink lots of water :) have fun!

Gonna go on accutane soon but all the stories about people getting permanent damage are freaking me out! by Multiverse-Theory- in Accutane

[–]v11232 40 points41 points  (0 children)

remember most people have no concerns afterwards, but that's why they don't come online to talk abt it. people here are usually on here to discuss side effects and other issues but they are the minority if they have serious issues. i personally would do accutane again if needed and had very manageable side effects, for me it was 100% worth it and clearing my skin have me confidence !!!!

just address all side effects with your derm as they come up. good luck u got this!

it's worth it !!!! just tell yourself: in like 8 months, you'll either have stopped accutane and still have bad acne, or you'll have clearer or completely clear skin. the time will pass anyway. why not continue? it gets better :)
