Lips are hell, but I have Blistex med and that is making them better :)

Hi everyone!
I have just been prescribed roaccutane for the second time and have a few questions.
The first time I took it, I took it alongside Yasmin, and the treatment lasted for 4 months (October 2008 – Feb 2009). My skin was amazing until about May 2009, when it slowly started to get worse. This was [...]
Having found your site and read some of the members diaries, I thought that maybe my story may help or encorage them.
I had been suffering with Acne since the age of 13. My doctor first proscribed minocycline, which was completely ineffective. After about 3 months of this I was then proscribed oxytetracycline, which did make [...]

Bruise/get cut alot more easily (I’ve cut my nails right down).

Back aches – for frequent and longer.
Headaches – sharp pains in my head – [...]
It’s been a few weeks since I wrote but generally nothing’s changed and – it’s going well :)

However, I’m also feeling the side effects more. I get a tad [...]
Hi All
It’s only been 9 weeks but already there are so many new people on this site!
Here’s some good news. Since stopping 9 weeks ago I have remained spot free. Okay, so I’ve had a few tiny, tiny red pimples but they are so small and they disappear in a few days. I have no [...]
This time round the side effects have kicked in! My skin has gone dry all over my face (but I’m still getting spots – less though), which means yes, make up looks awful. My hairs dry and I have a really flaky scalp, and its quite itchy too. My lips are drier by the day – [...]
