Posted in Roaccutane Diaries

Im 21 and have recently emigrated to Australia, over the past 5 Years i have tried most things and although a combination of antibiotics and Zineryt solution reduced the redness of them for 6 months they eventually returned.

Ive started my course of 20mg Roaccutane today and have some questions i didn’t ask my specialist so thought i would ask you guys

1) Whats the best way to deal with nose bleeds?
2) Can i use anything on my face, the specialist said not too use any acne treatment products, but whats the best way to clean my face in the morning.. just water?
3) Im worried about the sun, as they would only prescribe roaccutane in the winter here but im still wearing shorts and t-shirts and would like to know how people have got on in the heat.

I also had my first blood test earlier in the week… so im glad thats over as i hate needles

I have taken a picture of my face and will do so every week.. although i wont post them (yet)
And i will be posting weekly updates

Thanks Dan

Heya Dan,
I started around a month back and had the same questions you do at the moment. By the way I hate needles too!
1- I dont think there is a best way to deal with them just keep a kleenex with you at all times in case of an emergency!
2-I just use a sensitive cleanser wipe!
3- I heard that a bit of sunlight is actually good for the healing process with acne..But layer on the factor 30 anyway ^_^
Hope this helpss! Good luck

thanks for you help i went out today to buy a product called cetaphil which the pharmacist highly recommended (Plus it was cheap), plus a small bag of tissues. I thought the same thing in terms of the sun when i moved over here, and at first it did seem to make them not as angry but over the last 2 months there now worse than ever… well hopefully that will change

thanks again for you help :)
