im starting my third month of accutane under the supervision of my derm and im finally starting to see the light.
i broke out like crazy on my shoulders and chest for the first time in my life after my last cycle. i didnt even have acne as a kid so i when i started getting it i thought it would kind of just go away using all the usual advice on here and other boards i.e. tanning, washes, vitamin b, retin, etc and nothing worked.
this was right around the time that AG guys came out with their tane so i bought some. while waiting for it to come i really started researching it and figured being that i have insurance i would go that route instead of the AG guys route.
as soon as i went to the derm and took my shirt off he told me he knew i was on the juice. i didnt give a fuck cause at that time my acne was actually painful and there were only a few positions i could sleep in to get a good night sleep.
pretty much all the acne/cysts are gone but there are marks where all the acne used to be, almost like reddish marks that are flush with my skin. im not too sure if those are supposed to go away over time or if those will turn into scars? anyone know? i got another appt with the derm on tuesday so im gonna ask him.
as far as sides and all that bullshit, i had the cracked lips and dry skin but now it isnt so bad. never once felt depressed, crazy or that i wanted to kill myself. id also say that the tane has killed my appetite somewhat and i have lost some weight.
