I haven’t been on here for ages…but just in case anyone was reading I would update to how things are about 4 months after finishing Roaccutane.
I was on it in total for about 5 months, and I was very scared at coming off, for the last month or two my skin had been perfect (if [...]
I’m losing track of where I am but think about week 6 or 7. Still no new spots (YEAH!) my skin on my nose and cheeks is still red (I have rosacea) but it’s much less red now and just looks like I have got a bit red in the sun.
No more horrific peeling skin [...]
I am now getting towards the end of my 4th week…..if I dry out any more i will turn into a shrivlled prune I think.
My lips are pretty sore and Carmex stings sooooooooooooo much if I leave it that bit too long to put it on.
My face is a mess, still no new spots (hurrah!) [...]
Well finished week 3 now and have had an amazing improvment this week….I still fully expect it to get worse again but enjoying having the most ‘normal’ skin I have ever had. I wish I had been brave enough to take a picture at the start of my treatment so you could see a comparision [...]

Well thats week 1 all over with and now on the second day of my 40mg dose and all is ok so far.
Skin not too bad, it always tends to go through phases of being bad and then not so bad, is looking ok at the moment, just waiting for that initial break out to [...]
My head is banging today, I’m still on my half dose of 20mg, really hoping it doesn’t get worse when I go up to 40mg next week.
Think my lips are starting to dry out the feel all tingly like when I have eaten salty crisps. Apart from the mega headache I feel good my skin [...]
My third day on Roaccutane, I woke up this morning with a terrible dry sore throat, I have no idea if this is because of the Roaccutane. Also my muscles ache so much along the bottom of my back…it has got better as the day has gone on. My skin is the same as ever, [...]
I never thought I would get here, seems like a landmark day to finally have it. I am nervous about what the next few months will bring. I think despite all of the possible side effects my biggest fear is that it won’t work, which I think just shows what a huge impact having bad [...]
