My 6 month course ended at the end of July, I had my follow-up appointment this last Friday and my derm is happy that I need Roaccutane no more! Hurrah!
So, is my skin clear? Well, no new spots in around 6 weeks. I do have marks however, but my derm is convinced these will fade [...]
Hi all. I am on a 4 week break from Roaccutane (I was on it for 6 months, to be reviewed on 21st August so I’ll see what my dermatologist recommends at that time). Thankfully, I have no new spots and my skin is relatively clear. However, the red marks on my cheeks (where spots [...]
Hi all, well I’ve not written for a while, so here goes. It has been over 6 months since I was first prescribed Roaccutane. My skin is still not as clear as I would have expected and I am now on a months break from the drug. I go back to my dermatologist on the [...]
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 all, I haven’t written a diary post for a while because I have been so down! I got ill (not related to the roaccutane) and that made me feel worse about the acne and how I STILL HAVE SPOTS!!! Originally I was told that the treatment would last 4 months, but now I can [...]
Good day fellow roaccutane poppers. Well I must be in week 13? I can’t keep track! The 20mg that I had been taking for the first 3 months weren’t working so my derm upped the dosage to 25mg for the next month with a review at the end of it and a possible further increase. [...]
Well I’m back, and just started week 10 today. I also had a derm appointment this morning. So far he has kept me on 20mg which did make me wander, I mean although my skin has cleared up it still is far from great. I kept asking him how long I’d be on the tabs [...]
Hi all. I think I am at the end of week 9 (the site change on here has meant that I stayed away from the site for a while and now I have lost track of my diaries)…Anyway, things are not looking too good. My skin is still as full of spots as ever and [...]
Well, yesterday was midway for me (2 months in). My dermatologist has told me I only need to be on the tablets for 4 months, but I’m not too convinced. My skin is still spotty…I can’t see a huge difference to be honest.
Back when antibiotics used to work for my acne, I recall they took [...]
Hi all, well I can’t say I’ve noticed much difference in the last 2 weeks or so. My boils seem to have calmed down, but now I think they have left scars. I really really tried to leave my skin alone but when you have a huge whitehead boil visiting you in the middle of [...]
