yasemina: week 10ish still break out.but topical cream helps abit. wouwwwwww :p
September 10th, 2009hi there,
well i am on my 10th week i guess (i stop counting) and still have lots of pimples..last week i was very worried and panicked because i started to wake up 10 pimples everyday..so i called a friend who is doing practice in dermatology department here and he suggested me to use a topical cream called isotrexin (i think it has a different name in uk-it has eritromicyn and isotretinoid in it )and thanks god my pimples stop coming out..now i controled the pimples abit but i am left with lootttsss of red marks and worst with scars that happen from these pimples while i have been using roaccutane..i am covered with holes,lumps,red marks…before i start using roaccutane i didnt have any scars so i am panicked now..
does anybody experienced having scars while using roaccutane and did they stay or go after the treatment ? my skin is like a sponge now 
and to be honest i feel that the thing start to work is not roaccutane but that topical jel..my face start to be dry a little bit but still not so bad..
about side effects nothing new..actually (touch the wood ) i dont really feel and bad side effect right now..i mean they dont effect my life..just nothing is happening..no progress at all..i mean i dont see any improvement..that cream just repaired the damage on my skin abit after that massive break out but still if i compare it with before,i have no improvement at all..and my comedones still stay like castles..so strong..even roaccutane didnt effect them..funny…
still waiting…actually i start to hope a miracle one morning i will wake up and be spot,mark,scar free well welll what a nice dream…my next derm. appiontment is soon so i am gonna ask about these scars..i am so angry with my doc actulally he didnt do anything about my breakout.if he did gave me that cream a month ago,i would be scar,mark free now..at least not look like a sponge..
anyway that is all for now..
take care

oh Yas! Im sorry you are still breaking out it must be very frustrating for you! dont worry about red marks, they will fad, and only very deep scars will be permanent so unless you have been seriously picking your skin you shouldnt have too much trouble. I can honestly say that since my spots stopped appearing the marks and scars have faded immensely. Do not worry about not seeing too much progress after 10 weeks, i saw the most improvement after 13/14 weeks, so hopefully next month will be much happier and less spotty for you (I know these things owrk differently for different people but you deserve a rest from all those pimples dammit!! Do not be angry with your doc, I dont think it is common to prescribe topical lotions at the same time as roaccutane because of the super-drying effect it tends to have on your skin.
take care

hey sparks
and she is fine now so hold on there….about your work and the mistake you done..well dont think about it..at the end we are human..we make mistakes..and that one is not a mistake that will effect your life permanently..i am sure you can handle it..just wait a little to tell to your boss and by time you will start to see it not as muck important as you thought before..and so it iwll be easier to tell to your boss too.and i think you shouldnt tell and excuses unless he asks you..
atthanks alot..it is so nice to have you still around here even after you finish your treatment..your comments are so comforting…
yep this drug is a big suprise for me..i could never imagine i would have so many pimples and still deal with them after 10 weeks..i was hoping to have a clear skin by now..well i am one of these unlucky ones i guess…i will see about the marks..i mean some days they just dissapear and after 2 days they came back again..but really thanks to that topical cream i am better now..
yep about my doc.
i am angry because he didnt examine me carefully..i mean i have lots of comedones and i didnt have any sign of dryness on my face even after 2 months and no progress plus with lots of new pimples..he didnt even look at my face or asked me questions or try to do something he just said ohh just wait..anyway i have a control soon..so this time i am gonna ask millions of questions and will force him to take control and examine my face..
yeppp this situation is really frusturating…i just wanna go away for a while and forget about this situation…anyway still waiting…
i m so happy for you really you inspire me alot..everytime i get down looking at mirror i tell to myself well think avbout sparks you have same type of acne (mine is stranger than your ahaaa
i hope everything will be ok for you..
kisesss alot

yas am on week 13, & am still having breakouts. am on a 6 months course, iv done 4 months already, but not much improvements, 2 months to go, soo fingers crossed thers a miracle round the corner. what i find weird is that, since my last relapse which took place about a month ago, & it broke out real bad, i wake up some mornings with new angry cysts, & thed be times id wake up & it looks soo calm & not as angry.. & this situation started to happen on a regular basis now, ill even wake up some mornings with the most horrible dryst skin iv eva seen, & trust me its not pleasent att all to look at, which makes me really tempted to pick, but try with all means not to.
atscars usually go away, well they shoud anyway.
as for topical creams, i was by my derm not to use it whilst on roaccutane.
