Acne & Roaccutane forum logo

Hiya all, so I have taken my first 20mg tablet today and I’m very happy- I know it’s a silly reason to be happy but the tought of clear skin make me smile.
Let you know how I get on xx

I finally decided to upload some pics. My forehead was just as bad as my chin…
The first pic is taken at the beginning of treatment the second one is about week 20 of treatment. I’m on week 25-ish now.  
Quiet a difference, eh?!

On the way home from work tonight I decided to stop taking Roaccutane. 
My skin looks ok, it will never be perfect but I’ve had  no new spots since March and the scars are healing. The reason for my decision is because it’s starting to interfere with my job.  I had a bit of an emotional break-down today [...]

No one has ever seen these pics…makeup free, just letting everything show.

I tried several times to upload my pic on my diary but failed…so I put it on my profile. You can see there what I deal with every month, mostly on my chin.

After being off of it, I relapsed just about 3 weeks after that.  I had to go to a different dr. because it would cost [...]

Hiya I’m starting Roaccutane on the 31st of July. I’ve had acne since I was 15 and have given most treatments a shot.
Will add a pre treatment photo soon :-/
Got a quick question for the girl’s! Do you find your foundation says on longer while on Accutane? As I’ve tried so many and they asways [...]

So, I joined this site a long long time ago and it’s changed quite a bit!!!
Well my story is that I tried EVERYTHING under the sun for my terrible acne, which made my self esteem hit an all time low and I avoided social situations like the plague. I couldn’t go on like this. I [...]
