I saw my dermatologist yesterday and he seems to think I am doing very well and 80% clear. BUT I think I look awful and have so many spots! My skin is so dry it feels like a brick wall and I have these spots everywhere. I dont understand I was doing so well then I break it. I suppose 80% were spots that were under the skin that I could see from the start of treatment that have erupted but some of them have just come out of the blue.

My skin honestly wasnt that bad to begin with apart from the spots near my cheek. Now I have them on my forehead, temples and some on chin. Ohhh I am so depressed!

I was so emotional yesterday, had a few arguements at home and just cried..looked in the mirror and just cried again! I mean I thought it was going good then I had this break out.

He said from the start I will need 4 months and yesterday was 2 months so he said another 2 months then maybe another month to ensure it def doesn’t come back.

I mean I can’t really quit cos then I will never know and I will still have spots and taking three tablets a day isn’t much of a bother. I am on my max dose. So upset.

Farn, It’s early days yet, you’re only half way through. Don’t let it get to you too much otherwise you won’t want to finish the course. All the spots coming out is just part of the treatment. It brings all the oils out. Those spots you’ve got were just waiting to come out at some point anyway. They just all seem to appear at once don’t they? I’m on week 17ish and I’m still getting spots, but not as bad as before the treatment. It’s worth it because I know after I finish I’ll be spot free for a long time, if not forever. Keep your chin up. Most of us have a dip in the middle where it doesn’t seem to be working. Best of luck. xx

Thank you hun. I know I need to be positive, a few weeks ago I was doing well then it just turned ugly :(
I hope it passes because I am feeling very self-consious at the moment. I just want to go on holiday and hide! Thanks for the support x x

You know what? At around 2 months I felt very much the same way. And like you I was advised to do an extra couple of months. But thats not a bad thing! Trust me, it might all look bad right now but just hold onto this: on roaccutane a LOT can change in a month. So 2 months? Maybe 3? All the time getting better and better? You can do it! Stay strong x

Hey Farn, sounds like you’re having the same kind of rough time I had last week. I was so miserable with the way my face had been for the past two weeks that I didn’t even feel like writing about it, and I was being all anti-social even with my family and friends.
But guess what? It’s only been two days since I wrote that miserable post, and already my face has cleared up quite a bit! I can’t believe that just last week it was so horrible because this week its LOADS better. So just take some deep breaths and keep your head up, it’ll get better ^_^

Thanks Guys! I have the spots that look like little lumps..I prefer the one’s with a head atleast you know they will come out fairly quickly..these lumps take forever to go :(

But it’s true next week could be a better week..and as long as it comes out I suppose it’s a good thing.

Appreciate the comments - they do make me feel better and it’s nice to know there are other people in the same situation. x x
