Hi all,
I did actually include a week 1 diary entry - but not sure where it went in the end! I am on my 15 day of accutane (35mg to begin with) and have to say it’s pretty much what i expected from what i have heard and from reading this site.
The usual dry lips, itchy scalp and [...]
Well, this week has been a bit of a palava to say the least! Had a bit of a drama getting my bloods sorted too haha. My derm told me at my last appointment that I would need to have another blood test to check everything was okay, so on Tuesday night I came how [...]
Hi all,
Finally saw Dermatologist today and the minute I saw me he said he was giving me roacctane! Had bad acne since age of 13 (19 now) and over the last 6 months I have been really down. Waiting time for appointment was 6 weeks from Doc sending letter so not to bad, although I [...]
New to the site, about a month and a half in my course and i’m seeing some improvement, not much though. anyone else using bio-oil?
Hi again! i’m loving this site, it’s so helpful!
So week one is over today! dry skin has really got worse today! i’ve got it on places ive never had before, even my upper lip! but moisturising is helping! The weather here (Scotland) is FREEZING, it’s not been about 6 degrees for over a week, even been [...]
Hi all – hope everyone is well.

Also being a diabetic too [...]
Hi :)
It’s been about a month since my last post, i’m now coming to the end of week 11, and day 74, time has flown by!
Not alot of change skin-wise, had a couple of spots come up in the past week but nothing major.
The main reason for this post is that whilst I was out [...]
Goodness me, the weeks are marching on! I don’t know about the rest of you but this cold weather is not agreeing with my roaccutane-thinned countenance. I’m looking even redder than usual and the chapped-lip-scenario is pretty dreadful. Still quite a few spots just to add to the horror of it all. I’ve found that [...]
Hi all!
Well im at week three and things are starting to improve, until now i thought nothing was happening, and while i still have a long way to go I can see some results now. My spots are looking less angry and are easier to cover with a bit of makeup. However my skin is [...]
Well now the second week has came to an end… all i can say to anyone just starting is dont let the first 7-10 days put you off! They seem to have been the worst for me, for the simple fact i had a breakout, and my face was very sore and tender! Ended up [...]
