Accutane

[thelegacy]

Accutane is some strong crap---I remember when i was on it-it was during the time when my face got so dry that i couldnt open my mouth without my face cracking and i needed vaseline for my lips every 5 seconds. The worst part was i got thrown in jail for 24 hrs and they took my vaseline away and i was dying. My lips hurt so bad that when they gave us bologna sandwiches i used the grease from the mayonnaise to moisten my lips. But it works after about 2 months.

for lips, use medicated blistex(the blue little can type). What I did was scrub my lips with my finger in a hot shower and they would just peel and peel and then right when i got out i put blistex on, it felt soo cool and nice. Also stick the blistex in your nostrils, sounds a bit gross but it'll help you from getting nose bleeds which i got a few of. I also carried oil free face cream which helped a lot since my face was always dry. Good luck, if i start breaking out again after i come off this cycle back on accutane i go.

I've been on a little over a month now.. minimal clearing but some. dry lips, dry nose.. the usual.
ask your doc for some ointment called Dermator. My doc gave me samples, put it on your lips and up your nose, it helps with the dry skin better then blistex.

Manythanks strength, you are a gent as alway's, ok I am now on day 26, only 1 new spot today and on the whole I would say its started to work as of today/yesterday. Let me just say that my case is an extreme case, so severe that I cant describe, and this has all been made worse by the fact that I have had to come off juice to talk my doc into prescribing accutane, my body is in a seriously fucked state as I was on for 8 months solid, hardcore, I suffer now though, my immune system is weak and my recovery ability is extremely slow, I am in serious consideration about hitting in EQ at 200mg weekly to see if I can speed things up. I have scabs 2" long and 1" wide where the spots have been, I couldnt wash the are on my chest so they took me to hospital, gave me a shot of petadine and scrubbed it off yesterday, it was the worst pain of my life, the pethadine did NOT work, my head was flying but the pain was all real, however that said, I hope its all down hill now. bbigman2000...
