accutane is a very serious drug, basically everyone here has said bad things about it. the before and after stages for me was absolutely amazing. I can safely say without hesitation that my back was a 10 (like your derm saying you were an 8). I had spots.. maby quarter the size of a golf ball...

Unfortunately the only way I could get into the dermatologist would be to wait for a while because it's so busy (NHS). I'm just wondering, do chemical peels 'take away' spots too? Spots that are 'new' that is, not scarring.

i had blurred vision for a while after accutane also. i remeraber playing football and 10 minutes into it, not only were my muscles tearing away, i could hardly see anything. it was just one huge blur. but those blurring problems that i had seem to have gone.

Does anyone know if the asprin mask helps against red marks from previous spots and redness? Also, what about cysts?

when i went in, the derm asked if i was getting any more 'new' spots. the simple answer was no, so she took me off accutane. also, i was so frustrated at that time, if she even asked if i wanted to go on accutane again, i would have said no anyway. like i have said before, i pretty much got...

This is just one of the side effects I had when using roaccutane. I had it on both sides of my mouth, and even when I tried to talk, it would just tear open and bleed. I tried a few of lipbams/moisturisers, but they didn't help at all, from cheap stuff, to more expensive stuff. How long have...

Thanks a lot. Looks like I need to find aloe vera gel then :) Have you tried using lemonjuice?

I'm back now, good holiday :) Just to say, i got quite a bad sunburn on my back. I did have spots there, even after roaccutane - only a few though, and a few marks. I'm back now, no pain - sunburn is gone, and it's christmas all over again, my back is peeling quite bad, my skin is literally...

Hi, Just wondering if anybody could 'enlighten' me as to what a facial peel actually does. The ones I see on TV are pretty drastic, but I'm not sure if the ones you can buy at chemists/online or anywhere else are quite different. Also, if you do a facial peel, is it noticeable after you have...

Thanks very much for the reply. I think I'll go to a beauty salon or something (I'm a guy, not quite sure what it's actually called) to get it done there. Still at school though, so I probably will have to wait until Christmas because I wouldn't quite feel comfortable in school with half my...

Hey, Thanks very much, I'll do that then. So there is no peeling? Basically I could do what you suggested, still go to school and my skin won't look like it's peeling? My skin is actually really smooth, there are no 'dents' like scarring, but there are red marks on my cheeks that look like...

thanks, i'll go order online now then.

33% of cases it's sorted after accutane. 33% get it back, but not as worse. 33% it doesn't work. i think.

How much is the accutane for lets say, a 4 month course? Just wondering, I'm living in the UK, so I got mines free.

I just came off roaccutane about 1 month ago. If your skin is that bad, go for it, definately. The side effects vary for some people though. I pretty much had most of the side effects listed for it. How was it? Bad. But it wasn't bad enough to stop taking the pills. I took them for around 4...

actually, can i just say that i use the bodyshop blackhead scrub every night and i use tee tree oil, all from The Bodyshop. my face last week was really bad. but as soon as i used this again (because i ran out) it's looking much better now. i would recommend it. i also have a moisturiser...

so should i look for specific products (face washes) that tackles this? or, do basically all do it?

These arent completely right, but this is what I vaguely remeraber my dermatologist saying. 60% grow out of it completely, it never comes back. 20% of cases, it comes back but not as bad. 10% of cases, it comes back the same. 10% of cases, it comes back worse. I'm not sure, these aren't...

hi, i'm about to buy cetaphil. i'm wondering, does it cause an initial breakout? and also, how effective is it? does it help scars?

I might very well try it out :) Did you get an initial breakout when you started using this?
