hi everyone
first course of roaccutane 40mg worked a dream, enjoyed months of lovely clear skin with just the minor side effects.
But unfortunately acne starting coming back, nothing really bad but was persistent.
At the moment I am on 60mg daily and my lips are sooo dry, joints bit stiff and im really itchy ha! Skin began [...]
Hi Everyone, I am 21 years old and have polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and acne.
I am on my second course of Roaccutane.
My first course kept me clear for 1 year and then the spots started returning a few months ago, getting worse, always a new spot appearing when the others cleared up. Went on Estelle, now [...]
A brief overview and some pics of myself a year after my roaccutane! Thanks for reading x
Hey all,
I thought I’d post as I haven’t updated in a good while.
I finished my tablets at the end of May and within 2 weeks I had a few spots under the surface and my skin was slightly oily again. I put this down to my skin readjusting and though its never been as nice [...]
Hi All. I had acne for 10 years, I’m now 22, and I took Roaccutane for 9 months about 2 years ago. For just under a year my skin was completely clear – my confidence increased, I got a boyfriend, I did well at uni…felt like a differant person.

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 [...]
WOW! I haven’t been on here in AGES!
Well, my 16 week roaccuane course finished like, 2 months ago! LOL
Seriously, the monthly hospital visits, sore bones, chapped lips and dry eyes were worth every single complaint
My skin has improved so much, I get so many compliments about it, some people actually found it hard to recognize me at [...]
I have only posted a diary once earlier on in my treatment but haven’t posted anything else until now because there honestly wasn’t much to report apart from hideous side effects lol. So, it’s now week 16. I was only supposed to do 12 weeks but have been upped to 20. Been on 50mg from [...]
Hi i have been on roaccutaune for 15 weeks! one week to go!! For the past 6-8 weeks i have had this wee white mark on my skin, just at the side of my nose. Its kinda like a white head but doesn’t seem to be going away, i don’t think it is a spot. [...]
Hello all
I haven’t posted on here for a really long time… I’ve been on roaccutane for roughly 9 months now (scary!) and 3 months ago I had my dosage upped. It was only by 5mg but even that had a huge impact on my side effects. Dry skin to the max, my lips were an [...]
