Hello everyone

Well it’s day 15 and I think that the effects of the Roaccutane have really kicked in.  I have had a serious breakout, worse than I have ever seen my face look before… have very dry lips and nose and my scalp is really dry.  I have also had a few bad headaches and am finding it hard to sleep. However, despite all the moaning, and hideous breakout, I am feeling reassured that at least things are happening, and each day is a step closer to lovely clear skin. Can’t wait for the breakout phase to be over…any ideas on how long it lasts?

Had a great weekend…spent most of it in London. Me and my on/off boyfriend were having an ‘on’ phase and spent lots of time shopping, eating and going to bars.  Had a few drinks and felt absolutely fine…my derm said that alcohol is OK as long as it is not too often and in moderation.

 It’s great to catch up with everyone’s progress…keep going guys!

P.S Try Vaseline with Aloe Vera…it’s great for soothing for the lips (and up the nose!) and smells really nice too.

Hey Mandy,

All I’ve got to say is CONGRATULATIONS! The waiting is over and finally you are GOING THROUGH one of the most NB phases. Funny I’ve convinced my on-off-on-again boyfriend (also happens to hv ance) to go Roacc wit me, and we started together but now he’s had his dreaded breakout n Im still waiting. The waiting is killer. U’re hopefully over the worst. I must say that altho he looks terrible, and u probably do too (lol) I envy u both!

I’m on day 8 n Im hope this is the week for the big, bad, breakout…the lips feel dry, but look OK thanx 2 carmex. I hope the stay this way forever. Im trying to ignore the dry nose, don’t want to fuss over it mayb it’ll leave me alone ha ha.

Good luck Mandy n keep up the spirit. U inspired me wit ur ‘this shall pass’ attitude. Hang in there :-)
