Finally bought my Roaccutane this morning. My dermatologist almost wanted to talk me out of it, but I insisted that this was what I want, and what I’ve been wanting for a very very long time. I’ve had acne since I was 17 years old, back in junior college, and I can still remember the [...]
Hi All
I had my latest derm visit last night. He was lovely and hugely supportive as usual. He was really pleased with my progress but wanted to give me the best chance of long term success so he’s extended my course, I’ll be staying on 40 mgs for another 2 months.
I’m sure I’m going over [...]

I haven’t posted for a while but I think that I am now around week 18/19… I went back to the derm at week 16 and he raised my dose from 25mg to 30mg. I was really really pleased because I didn’t think that 20mg or 25mg were doing me any favours whatsoever. I just [...]

Hi,
Hope everyone is ok. I havn’t actually written a diary post before but people are starting to use them in the same way as the ‘noticeboard’ used to be used (and no one seems to reply to that anymore!).
Basically (as you may have read on my ‘noticeboard’ post), I’ve been brought off roaccutane after a [...]
Hi All
I’m nearing week 17 of treatment so thought I would give you all an update.
I haven’t really had any new spots since mid March but the ones I do have are taking a very long time to heal. I have one HUGE one on my cheek that I just can’t get rid off.
