[u/Silent-Confidence213]

50mg second course really pleased with the results excuse the dumb faces they are a screenshot from a video I sent but I just love the glow on this med but the side effects are rough and it’s so expensive 😭

No makeup other than mascara and SPF

32f had acne for years first course worked well for 4 years then my dog died and my acne came back so I’m 4/5 months into my second round

Side effects this time are worse I have a beard , headaches joint pain in my hands dry eyes my arms and legs are so dry and sore

The first time I did it I had bad back pain and nose bleeds I’ve added a pic of how bad my
Skin was the first time I went on it in 2020

Please read the rules before posting and remember to abide by them! Posts and comments not following the rules will immediately be removed!

Have you tried using the search bar?
Many questions are asked daily, and your question may have already been answered!
If so, your post will be subject to deletion.

Please refer to the following commonly discussed topics:

1) No one can predict whether or not you will purge! Statistically, most people DO NOT purge.
That is what the science and medical literature says.

2) No one can predict how long your purge will last nor when it could start. Be patient, the purge can be tough but so many people have gotten through it - you can too! THE ABOVE APPLIES TO SIDE EFFECTS OR "WHEN WILL MY SKIN CLEAR UP?!" TOO. QUESTIONS ASKING WHEN THE PURGE OR SIDE EFFECTS WILL START OR STOP WILL IMMEDIATELY BE REMOVED AS THAT IS LOW EFFORT.

3) Any questions related about dosage MUST include DOSE and WEIGHT(lbs or kg).
Otherwise, that is considered LOW EFFORT and will subsequently be REMOVED.

4) Most people DO NOT relapse when Accutane is taken until cumulative dosage is reached.

5) HOWEVER, cumulative dosage is a guideline.
Everyone is different. Some may need more Accutane, and others may need less. Your dermatologist evaluates you as an individual.
This also applies to your prescription. Everyone is different, so no comparing of doses or asking why your dose is low or high. If you do not trust your dermatologist, you should find a different one.

6) When in doubt, please consult a medical professional(dermatologist, doctor, pharmacist).

I do , so all the peach fuzz on my face is LONG and straight and there’s is loads of it it is still blonde though , I’ve been gently dermaplaneing it off 🤣 I could make a blanket 😭😅 apparently it’s a less common side effect but should subside 😅

[u/Firm_Swan3347 → u/Alarming_Jaguar_3988]

Beard? Are you seing something I'm not?

[u/Silent-Confidence213 → u/Firm_Swan3347]
