- I Tried Accutane 🙅🏾 Issa No For Me Dawg | Adult Acne Update #2
I'm back with a LONG overdue acne update. I started taking Accutane (isotretinoin) 2 months ago. The brand I've been taking is called Myorisan. Due to some serious side effects and after consulting with my dermatologist, I decided to stop taking the medication. The next step is to work with my dermatologist to find alternative options to cure my acne.
The side effects I experienced include:
‣ Upset Stomach
‣ Cramps
‣ Headaches
‣ Lower Back Pain
‣ Muscle Joint Pain
‣ Blurry Vision
‣ Dry and Sensitive Eyes
Again, this video is merely to share my acne journey, not to encourage or discourage anyone from taking accutate or any other acne medications.

So sorry for your experience. I really hope you find some relief soon. Thanks for your transparency, you are freeing so many people. Stay encouraged there is something out there for you
Thank you for sharing this light . Am one months on Accutane and I plan on stopping because my skin has gotten really dark although I wear sunscreen every day . Am having those crazy back and joint pains that make me feel like am 100 years old and am developing crashes on my skin so crew it with the perfect skin, am 37 with 2 children and I have come to a conclusion that my children most come first and not my face . God bless you
No more medication, that is a good choice. I wish you the best in your journey.
I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you. I had INTENSE adult acne. It got so bad my face started to look lopsided. Accutane worked wonders for me. My skin is 100000% better
Yea, me too I have cystic acne which is sooo horrible and at times painful b/c I'm a picker. Accutane was the best thing I have ever taken my first round lasted for about 7 years breakout free and del cleanse helped clear up my hyper pigmentation (i miss that stuff), they have stopped making it but i used that after my treatment and any monthly pop ups that looked like a threat del cleanse dried them right up. I did end up going for a second round of accutane and it's going on 5 years now of the good life (no excessive breakouts). The major side effect for me was horribleeeeee lip dryness, but aquaphor helped with that.

I’m going through hormonal acne too. BUT there is this place called the Skin Pharm. Located in Nashville TN and Atlanta GA. But they do phone consultations and send you the prescription/products!!!!! It’s working beautifully ❤️ hope you find your way!
Thank you soooo much!!! I love your honesty ! Thank you! You are beautiful inside out!
Accutane is no joke. I'm glad you decided to listen to your body and stop the accutane. It can be a miracle for many but for others, it just doesn't agree with the body. I've done 3 full courses and i'm still dealing with significant acne.
This is video was so good!! I just don’t think it’s worth to go through bizarre side effects for society clear skin
I clicked and broke my finger😂😂❤️I'm here girl
Bahahaha! You’re a real one 😩🙌🏾💕
The “I’ve never had someone punch me before” took me out lmao
Wild that she told you to stay on it. Good for you for doing what was best for your body. I have hormonal acne. I use spiro and BC along with lush. My skin is clear. I use hydroquinon for the dark spots. They are gone. Try that. I know these things have worked for other POC too.
Any side effects on spironolactone?
Side effects?
I use effaclar duo plus and the effaclar purifying foaming gel , it's kept my skin clear for years
People don’t like black soap but I think it’s because people aren’t using it properly. A spin brush & soap treatment 2-3x/week is best. Cetaphil gel in between. Also, I moisturize with pure Vit E capsules during the cold season, and Clinique undereye moisture cream in the summer. It is very drying but you have to apply it correctly. You should give it another try.
I'm SO glad I found someone who experienced pretty much the same thing as me. I'm 22 and I've had acne for 10 years. I've done countless things in those 10 years to fight the acne but obviously none of it worked. So I just got on accutane and I'm on my 10th day, but I skipped yesterday and today's dosage because I started experiencing unbelievable body aches/soreness, overall body weakness and some nausea, headaches and dizziness. I basically just felt all around sick like I was coming down with the flu. I'm on 60mg a day (30mg at breakfast and dinner). The body aches started in my chest and abdomen, and like you said, it felt like I was punched. The soreness and weakness were so severe that I could barely move. I couldn't believe how hard the drug was hitting me because I felt completely fine for 8 days. It's still really bad as I'm typing this comment but not as severe as yesterday. So I'm going to talk to my dermatologist today and I imagine I'm going to be put on a lower dosage like you did. Probably from 60 to 30mg since the 30mg pills are what I still have, so now just once a day instead of twice a day. But if it's anything like your experience, it probably won't work and I'll be down to 10mg. I mean if I was able to handle a whopping 60mg for 8 days then 10mg should literally be no problem but I guess I won't know until that happens. So I'll keep yall updated right here if yall are curious to know what happens. I imagine it could be helpful for those who are going through the same thing.
PS 4:00 those are collarbones lol
How'd it go? Im having really bad back pain right now on 40 mg a day
@@ujoining254 I totally forgot to update. It’s a mess so I’ll be back with a long comment explaining everything that happened. Long story short though, I didn’t get aches the 2nd time on accutane but I got strange head and eye symptoms so it doesn’t seem like it’s for me.
HUGE insane update for anyone that cares. It’s a mess so get ready.
So my dermatologist did put me on 30mg a day like I predicted. Everything went great for 3 weeks. No soreness or muscle aches whatsoever, just the typical nose bleeds, dry chapped lips and dry skin, which is normal. My skin got fairly clear in just 3 weeks. So they moved me back up to 60mg because they insisted that I needed to catch up in order to finish before 8 months (because you can’t be on accutane longer than 8 months). But after 5 days of 60mg I started experiencing something completely different from the aches. I was having extreme head pressure with lightheadedness and haziness/brain fog. Not necessarily headaches, it was a very odd feeling. And it was accompanied with a little bit of vision loss and hard focusing which was scary. Every day I felt like I was going to pass out. And strangely drinking water and being hydrated made the head pressure worse? Have no idea why. I stopped the drug immediately and saw the derm. They said it’s most likely not the drug and something else that’s causing it, however there’s an extremely rare instance where accutane causes brain swelling. They couldn’t determine if the accutane was causing it or maybe my screen time on phones, computers and TVs was causing it. It’s hard for me to imagine that screens were causing it as I’ve never had that problem before. But it’s also hard for me to imagine that I’m one of the extremely rare cases that has brain swelling on accutane. My derm thinks this too because they’ve never had a problem with anyone else. I was apparently their only patient that has ever had problems on accutane. (Not so sure about my derm anymore because I asked them about getting tattoos after accutane and they said I could get tattoos on accutane? Which is known to not be good and scar your skin because your skin is dry. But anyways…) Well my head and eye vision symptoms stopped a month after I stopped the accutane. That was after I lowered my screen time too so it’s still hard to determine. They said they will let me try accutane one more time just to confirm if the accutane caused this. This would be the 3rd time. I told them maybe sometime in the future but I’ve been through so much with this drug already that I needed a break LOL. Plus they want me to see an eye doctor beforehand to see if my eyes were in bad shape and causing the symptoms (which I doubt), and I’m just financially not in the right spot for all of this. It’s just all a mess so I currently give up. But I might try it a 3rd time eventually. It’s been 3 months since I’ve been off of it and my skin is back to the way it was and I’m just struggling with it like I usually do. But I am learning more about my skin. Since I entered my 20s, my acne has only started acting up during the summer and winter, and my skin is completely clear during the spring and fall. So maybe I am growing out of it finally since it’s less frequent and only comes out during extreme conditions. Even though I’m tired of waiting for my skin to “grow up”, I think I still just have to wait a few more years for it to happen. Accutane probably isn’t necessary for me after all.
@@Skiduejrjkfflc Wow as a hypochondriac that always looks up symptoms and disorders, I never read about pseudotumor cerebri and now I'm almost positive that's what it was because it all checks out. Since I've entered my 20s I've had a history of serious physical symptom anxiety (severe chest pains thinking I'm going to have a heart attack, lightheadeness, numbness in arms and legs etc) so my dermatologist was more set on believing it was my anxiety than the accutane causing the head pressure/slight vision loss. And since physical symptom anxiety is so unpredictable and still so hard for me to understand, I absolutely believed it could've been the case. Not saying you have physical symptom anxiety like me but it’s possible so I’m just throwing it out there. Laxatives absolutely mess with your system big time so that may be contributing. Based on what you’re telling me though, it sounds more likely that accutane is giving you pseudotumor cerebri, because it sounds a lot like what I went through. No my dermatologist didn't show genuine concern and I felt like I was being gaslighted as well. It was frustrating. I’m not a doctor so I'm probably not "right" for questioning my derm’s knowledge, but I do question it as she has said very questionable things and seemed to be totally ignorant to bad cases of accutane. When I first told her about the head pressure on my 2nd attempt at accutane, she said straight up "accutane doesn't possibly cause that and has never caused that so it’s something else“ even though there are literally plenty of documented cases where it does... and then when I saw her the next time she changed her tune and said something like "so actually it is possible but very rare" meaning she had to do more research on it which is concerning considering she prescribed accutane to many patients before this not knowing the potential severe life-altering side effects. And again I was floored about what she said concerning tattoos on accutane. She's not my dermatologist anymore though and I switched derms 4 months ago. I should've switched a long time ago as she was never attentive and she was in and out of the room in 2 minutes record speed. It was mainly an office for seniors with skin cancers, not many young acne patients, and they were always overbooked, rushing patients in and out, so she never could actually listen to me properly. It took me awhile to realize that this wasn't normal office behavior. So to update since my last comment, I decided I wasn’t going to do accutane a 3rd time and I didn’t bother seeing an eye doctor like my previous derm told me to since my vision was restored and the head pressure left after stopping accutane. I told my new derm about my accutane experience and they recommended a skincare routine along with one month of seysara (a new form of acne medication that interestingly blocks excess testosterone in the face, by the way yes I’m a guy). I was like “here we go again it’s not going to work but lets try”. 4 months later and my skin hasn’t been this clear in years! My skin actually cleared up in a week and a half which is record time. It’s an insane transformation that I’ve had. 10 years of this nonsense and trying out multiple products so it’s a miracle. I’m mad at myself for not finding this derm sooner. Basically my advice is: please see a new dermatologist! The one you have sounds a lot like my previous one. Make sure to also check reviews online. Let me know where you’re at now I’m curious. Hope my response helped and hope you’re doing well.
@@Skiduejrjkfflc PS if it matters this is my current face skincare routine (assuming face acne is your issue) which has changed my life:
Morning:
-glycolic and salicylic acid combo face wash
-winlevi cream (prescription)
-glycolic acid pads (twice a week)
-benzoyl peroxide gel (prescription)
-elta md niacinimide sunscreen
-neutrogena hydro boost water gel moisturizer
Night:
-same face wash
-same cream
-arazlo tazarotene lotion (prescription)
-same moisturizer
(Obvious) Tips:
-Don’t pick or squeeze acne ever even if it’s a blackhead that looks like it wants to come out. I struggled so much with this.
-Don’t touch face period which again is extremely hard at first but I never realized how sensitive my face was to touch and spreading of bacteria.
-Don’t consume too much sugar. I cut out soda and all sugary drinks. I only drink water now which leads into the next tip.
-Drink lots of water, get good consistent sleep, reduce stress, all the obvious stuff.
I've never had any serious acne issues but recently developed fibroids. I had change my diet to a vegan electric/alkaline diet and what a difference! Not just for my menstrual but my skin. Diet makes a huge difference.
i experienced the exact same this , Totally relatable
I’ve never tried it but changed what I was eating and had less breakouts ( no meat, no dairy). But now I’m considering Accutane bc I still get hormonal breakouts that leave dark spots. First derm appointment this Friday 🙏🏾 #ijustwantclearskin
Good luck! If you try Accutane I hope it works out! So many people I know have tried it and it’s had amazing and lasting results.
did u suffer with hairloss during accutane treatment?
Heyy Naakie, hope you are well :) Your skin will get better but sorry that Accutane did not work, crossing fingers for the next best thing :) ! I have tried ACNEtane in 2017 because I was sick of having pimple and it worked, my skin has been clear since.
Hey girl, saw your name and you seem South African. I’m considering Accutane and am still a student without medical insurance, could you give me an estimate of how much it costs?
did u suffer with hairloss during accutane treatment?
Superrrr interesting, thanks so much or sharing! I finished accutane two years ago and it was a real success for me, I actually. made videos about it too. However, a few years on and I think I'm having gut health issues as a result. Everyone is different and I still have no regrets in taking it, it was one of the best things I did for my skin, but it's so important to do research! Loved your honesty with this! xx
did u suffer with hairloss during accutane treatment?
Your collarbone muscles? 👌🏾 I got you 😉 sis
Hey love, so sorry that accutane lowkey played you lol but it gets better! I had severe acne from 9th grade up until 2 years ago and accutane was recommended to me over and over again; but I decided it was too intense for me. Instead, I stopped listening to doctors and youtubers and tried to listen to what my skin wanted. I stopped using black soap which was drying my face out (which made me think it was drying out my pimples smh flawed logic) and switched to the soap and glory vitamin c wash. It is amazing, it smells amazing, it gets my face soooo clean without drying me out, which has drastically reduced how oily my skin gets throughout the day, ergo how clogged my pores get and how much I break out. I threw away all of my harsh exfoliants and exfoliating brushes because 1) they harbor bacteria that can enter your skin and cause more breakouts and 2) they cause more problems than they solve because they cut up your face, which also gives bacteria a portal into your skin. I had 3 goals: to clear my acne, reduce the texture on my face, and get rid of my horrid hyperpigmentation. I started steaming my face twice a week to open my pores, extracting my own pimples/pores with a comedone extractor (do at your own risk because it can cause damage if done incorrectly-it takes a little while to get used to but it is literally my holy grail acne treatment), I add tea tree oil to a MOISTURIZING toner, apply glycolic/lactic acid for the hyperpigmentation and the derma e tea tree and vitamin e cream as a moisturizer. For my texture, I purchased a microdermabrasion tool (the PMD: I think I got it on sale for $75) for at home use, used the coarsest setting (again, not recommended but a girl can only have so much patience)... and girl when I say miracles happened!!! My face is so much less prone to break outs and with the help of glycolic and lactic acid, my scars are almost gone. My skin very very rarely breaks out anymore. AND SHE IS SSOOOOFFFTTTTTT! I hope this is helpful to you
I think I saw you on another video where you had completed the 6 months treatment and super happy with the results?
Notification Squad!!!💃🏾❤🙋🏾♀️🤗
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yassss❤️💯
I took 20 mg accutane for only 13 days and I got severe joint pains, lower back pain, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, really low blood pressure. It's unfortunate it didn't work for me.
Hiii - are we allowed ti recommend something ?
I have a very sensitive skin ..so the docs recommended soap free stuff for my face and it helped .
Wow! Sorry it didn't work out for you 😭 An oral antibiotic (doxycycline) and topical (retin-a) are the only things that have cleared my acne. However, I felt it was not sensible to be on oral antibiotics long-term, so now I'm on a topical antibiotic (dapsone) and retin-a. Unfortunately, they don't work well and I breakout out on the regular. I'll be starting accutane in two weeks. Hoping the side-effects aren't too crazy, because I would love to be done with acne 😌
did u suffer with hairloss during accutane treatment?
Any update?
@@treanbean2010 Yes! I did low dose accutane for a 8 months. Best decision ever! Side effects were mild: dry skin, dry mouth, thirst... My skin is still clear to this day ✨
@@athenaabarnes that’s great news. I start next month. You women of color are giving me hope on this road to clear skin.
@@athenaabarnes what dosage did you take and was it the same the whole 8 months? 😊
Was on accutane for one month at 10 mg every other day and did fine. When I bumped up to 10 mg every day I started to have the worst headaches ever and had stroke like symptoms essentially for about 3 days. Went to the ER and everything was fine, so I got off the accutane and I still have some symptoms but it’s getting better. Sucks cuz it can work wonders (and I need it to lol) but it just didn’t react properly with my body
Similar experience with me, I've been fighting with Acne the past 8-10 years. I tried the antibiotics, worked then acne came back. All creams imaginationable (no luck). Then finally went on Accutane 30mg. Suicidal thoughts was my first side affect. Couldn't believe this shit.. next side affect , body aches. My last side effect which made me stop it was severe stomach pain to the point I couldn't walk or move at all. Just fucking nightmare drug
After 6 months of Spironolactone my skin is the clearest its been since I was a kid. If your acne is a result of overactive oil glands then I’m sure it will work wonders.
Any side effects?! Recommendations? I think I'm going to start next month
Bella Noire No, not a single side effect except my eyelashes have grown significantly. I use Spironolactone in addition to a tretinoin cream a couple times a week and it keeps everything at bay. Good luck!
Does a gyno prescribe this ?
I use spironolactone for hormonal acne, only used it a few weeks and so far I haven’t had new breakouts. It’s a diuretic so you could possibly pee more, and it shouldn’t be taken with alcohol or other substances. Acne sucks but as long as we never judge appearances, we will won’t be the ugly ones.
@@user-mb9jx5tx9y no it was prescribed to me by my dermatologist!
I shuld use Vitamin C serum for u face . It helps to lighten dark spots. That has helped my acne spots
I tried it and it broke me out severally.
How long did it take for your dry eyes and light sensitivity to get better??????
Girl I highly recommend Korean and Japanese skin care products.
They really changed my skin and they are way more gentle in my opinion.
Hii! Is there any that you recommend?
Accutane is nothing to play with I took it and I found out how damaging it can be and it's like a nightmare
Been on Accutane for a little over a month now and my anxiety is through the roof and getting panic attacks. I’ve been diagnosed w anxiety disorder since I was 19 I’m 38 now. Soooo I just threw the entire box out.. please pay attention to how this drug affects your mental health esp if you’re diagnosed with a mental health disorder!
Something that helped me with getting rid of my acne was cutting red meat. Pork and beef. I eat chicken twice a month. But o ce I cut out the hormones. My body healed it self
In my 3rd month and my skin is 85 percentage clear. accutane cleared my back,chest n face acne.started 20 mg 1st n 2nd month then now on 40 mg..
Planning on 60 mg for the rest of the course
I am on day 13 of taking accutane praying it works. Have had acne for over 20 years
How is it going?
How is it?

30 mg seems like a lot for some one so small...
Hi did you deal with hair loss
Hey! I started accutane on the 17th and I’m experiencing really bad light sensitivity to the point where I can’t drive bc I can’t see where I’m going. I can’t believe that my body isn’t taking it. Seriously it was my last hope of finally getting rid of acne. I was wondering what your derm said for alternatives and what you are on now for acne.
Did it go away? Any long term side effects like stomach issues?
@@trevorg2069 I stopped after 2 weeks. I still get pimples here and there but what helped me was getting rid of the peach fuzz on my face that was clogging my pores and also getting a pore cleaner

@@nishithareddy8742 No, but I have really dry eyes now. Wake up in the middle of the night and my eyelids feel like sandpaper
Man this sucks. I’ve been on the 40 milligrams for almost six weeks now and I’ve experienced irritable bowels every now and then (particularly after a glass of wine when I haven’t eaten💀 yes I did break the rules once or twice) dry lips and my skin has been purging. But otherwise it hasn’t been too bad
Yeah I was so excited to start accurate but my body had other plans 😭😭
Have u lost hair ?
did u suffer with hairloss during accutane treatment?
The back n stomach cramps are a nightmare
Have you ever tried MACA root? It was a last resort for me but my saving grace - of course I changed my diet eliminating dairy. Also also, I have been oil cleansing for 2 years; really good results with that too.
This comment may get lost in the sauce but if you see this, please try it. Nothing to lose. Good luck
I was told to try maca as well. It's supposed to boost estrogen which in turn helps acne (if its hormonal). How many milligrams did you take? Any side effects?
What’s oil cleansing
I just started accutane not even a week ago and I’m feeling really sick since I start it. The doctor started me at 40mg one pill a day and the first day I really didn’t feel anything the second day that when it started I started to feel really nauseous all the time, dizziness, and my migraines are getting really bad it does calm down when I take Tylenol but but it comes back as soon as the Tylenol wears off. So I’m thinking of calling my doctor tomorrow 😣
They should not have started you on that high dose OMG🙆🏽♀️ I started with 20mg
How are you doing now? I just started and will be taking my fourth dose today. Hope those side effects got better!
I started the 32mg like eight days ago…I started getting irritated skin along with it burning even when I used GENTLE SOAP like DOVE SOAP that they recommended and it still burned. I ask started getting blurry vision and I don’t even wear glasses and I have perfect vision too. So I got a bad feeling in my gut about it and usually when my gut tells me something I listen and end up right so I stopped taking it and will call my doctor Monday 😅☝🏾

@@nishithareddy8742 not really, the side effects for me weren’t much..the first week I had major headaches and dryness everywhere otherwise I was fine after a while.. after all, it was worth it, my skin looks so good
Omg 30mg is too much omgggggg dude I am taking 10mg and it fucks me up 😒😩
Was on Accutane twice for 6 months cos my acne came back the second time. End result was glass skin/ baby smooth skin. Side effects were mainly backache and dry lips but they were tolerable. After I finished Accutane, dermatologist put me on a topical tretinoin to prevent any zits that may arise. Accutane isn’t for everybody but it worked for me. Sorry it didn’t work out for you sis. Ask your dermatologist to put you on a topical tretinoin. It’s a dream . Please wear SPF 50 everyday❤
Hi, thanks for your input.
I'm worried about long term affects on the digestive system even after the course is over.
I'm 2 weeks in and it's messing with my lower gut and I don't want that to be permanently damaged
Have your eye sight and overall health revert back to normal?
If ur still dealing with gut pain definitely get off accutane
I’m on my first month of Accutane.. it’s my last hope. I really pray it works out for me. Cause ion got time for this Acne mess😒
Wishing you the best of luck! 🙏🏾
@@Naakie it worked. I’m acne free, thank you so much🥺
@@asiaadelane3427 did you ever feel nauseated during your course? I just took my first pill yesterday and felt a little nausea 2 hours later and when I woke up this morning . No vomiting though
@@michellediane7336 yeah I did in the beginning, it’s normal
@@asiaadelane3427 how many months did you stay on it ? I’m hoping I can continue. Will be taking 30 mg a day to start . Tonight will be my second dose 🙏
Try Grandma's Pure Lye Soap
That sound super scary! I've never used it before, but what really helped me was reducing how much dairy I consumed. I think I actually am a bit lactose intolerant. I used to be one of those people that believed that you HAD to consume dairy to be healthy. But on top of the acne it made my stomach upset and I used to think it was normal. My point is understanding what makes me breakout was major for me vs. trying to get new products. I now use black soap with some natural oils so it's not super drying, an acne serum and a regular moisturizer and toner. It also helps to use a chemical exfoliant from time to time just to clear out that build up in the skin.
Your acne doesn’t look that bad to be put on Accutane
you can be put on accutane if u have persistent acne, it doesn't matter if its super severe or not. and even people with severely oily skin with no acne take accutane to decrease oil production
Honestly your acne doesn’t look bad you just need to find a good skin care routine I’ve heard a lot about the ordinary skincare dermatologist recommend cerave
It's more about about what we eat. So cut everything and slowly re-introduce it to your body. So dairy, gluten, meat. As you introduce those things you will see how different parts of the body react to those things. Dermatologist jobs are to push meds
Food had very little to do with acne. I even almost became vegan and ate very healthy and my acne actually got worst. Accutane was the only way out for me. It did help 100%
@@kushkidish everyone is different. I'm glad that worked for you, thanks for sharing it may help someone else.
I know lots of people who eat VERY unhealthy. Drinks alcohol, smokes... yet they have flawless skin. There's definitely something else going on inside our bodies when it comes to acne. I think its mostly genetics.
@@kushkidish as stated thank you for your OPINION but mine still stands. Your advice may be vital for some as well as mine. Stay blessed.
Did u try using african black soap for at least a month? It worked wonders for my skin
I’ve tried using African soap in the past but it severely irritates my skin 😓
I have had acne for a majority of my life as well. I have been suffering with acne since the 4th grade and I am 23 now. I’ve found a regimen that’s been working for me really well.
Facial wash
Vanicream ( sulfate, paraben and dye free)
Noxema ( wash your face with the Vanicream rinse then apply the noxema and let it sit for five to ten minutes.
Cream
My dermatologist prescribed me a cream which is a combination of adapalene (0.1) and benzoyl peroxide(2.5%) .
When using this cream use it every other night. Than after two weeks use lightly every-night.
The cream that does work is a water based cream from tarte but my budget doesn’t always permit for it. 😩😭
Hopefully this helps anyone whose reading it and suffers from severe acne.
You probably wouldn't have ended up so well if you continued. bout the blurry eyes, though. I had the same experience, but It's caused by the dryness in your eyes. It's not permanent for the vast majority of people.
I’m still dealing with blurry vision after stopping Accutane almost a month ago, and using eye drops 6-8 times daily. How long did it take for your vision to improve? I’m so nervous about this.
@@ilovebeinglit1599 update?
Hey Sis, I’m so sorry Accutane has not worked out for you fully. Fortunately, there are several alternatives available nowadays to help clear up cystic acne issues. I took Accutane 3 times in my life. The first time I tired Accutane ,it was a failure. No serious side effects - it just didn’t calm my cystic acne. We waited awhile and did another round and it worked beautifully. 15 years later I started to breakout and I didn’t hesitate to use Accutane once again. My symptoms both times were super dry lips and soreness of the heels of feet. Standing on my feet first thing in the morning was painful initially. I would have to stand and press my heels down in place until my feet could bare my body weight. Both times there was an emphasis to eat a low fat diet. I lost 5 to 8lbs during my treatments. Had I experienced your side effects, I would have stopped the treatments too. Listen to your body and do what’s best for you. Keeps us updated 😊

Sis have you tried acne.org SAVED MY LIFE!!! xo
Me too! It workssss
I literally stuck to the regimen for about 6 months straight! (and actually stuck to the instructions lol) I had tunnel vision and didn't take interest in ALL the 100000 solutions the tea tree oil, lemon, black soap the drinking 1 gallon of water (I became a piss machine lol) you name it I've tried it! Man I know oh I knowww how frustrating it is but I am telling you with a little patience it does work. At first your skin may feel a little dry but try sike yourself up and think your seeing results lol for some reason that seems to work since I wanted a 5min miracle. In conclusion patience and acne.org hope this helps and I hope it works for you! WE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER xx
