A mixed bag this week!
During first half the week, my skin was calming down a bit, not great but no major breakouts. On Wednesday, however, I doubled my dosage from 30 to 60mg. Since then I’ve had a bad breakout on my face and a few more spots have popped up on my back too. I’ve also had a couple of headaches, but I’m not sure if they’re related to tiredness (I had quite a sleep-deprived weekend) or the drug.
Hope week 6 sees some improvement!

Hi Zoe
M also on week 5 and my face is very dry but I’m scared the acne will return once I finish treatment. I’m still on 40mg and my nails are looking really bad, peeling off the sides and my fingers look like big sausages.
All the best guys…

Yes Zoe, all the acne is gone only spots remaining and deep scarring. I’m quite big so I think the fat in my body helps absorption.
