I wanted to give you all an update on my experience with Accutane. I am now finished with the 5 month treatment. I have been done with the medication for about 1.5 months.
All of the dry skin/lip/eye issues have completely gone away. I have been using facial moisturizers for normal to dry skin and they have been working wonderfully. I did get a lot of nose bleeds during my use of this medication (at least once daily). This has gone away as well.
I still have not used any kind of acne prone facial cleansers/lotions/treatments. Amazingly I now have clear amazing skin.
I have not experienced any breakouts anywhere on my body. I used to get them on my back/chest/neck/face. I have not had a pimple in months (not even hormonal breakouts yet.)
I do not notice any oiliness like I used to get in the T-zone area of my face.
I was and still am very sensitive to the sun. I use 50+SPF and still get sunburned when out in the sun for 30 minutes at a time. I have to reapply frequently. I am hoping and have been reassured by my doctor that this will subside.
So far I am so happy with the results. It was a tedious process. It was costly and time consuming but it was well worth it all. I could not be happier with the results. I am never self conscious about my acne issues anymore because I don't have any! If you were thinking of trying this and have the means to do so I highly recommend it!!!!!!!
