Day 5 on Accutane - I have my first eruptions since I started.

Today has not been a bad day.  Yesterday my skin really didn't have any problems.  This morning I woke up with a little acne blemish above my lip and on my nose.  Then through the course of the day I had one form on my right temple.

I have posted some pictures of my eruptions from today.

This side profile shows the condition of my skin after a few bad years of acne.  I have acne scars on my cheeks, large pores,  around my cheeks and nose.  It is hard to see in this picture but around the edges of my nose my skin is starting to peel and flake.  Once I am off accutane I will be looking into some some of scar fading or removal treatment.  I have a lot of scars especially around my jaw line and those divots that you can see in this photo are on both sides of my face.  

Follow the break to see the rest of the photos


You can see the little eruption on the side of my face near my temple. This one hurt.


This is the eruption on my upper lip.  My lips are glossy.  Today I am trying Lansinoh to moisturize.  It is a 100@ Lansinoh HPA Lanolin.  Works great at night but it is super shiny, so I might not use it during the day.  We will see how it goes.  Yes I know that it is marketed to breastfeeding women but this stuff feels great on my lips and does wonders at repairing chapped skin.

  2. Roaccutane is the most effective way for acne treatment. There are no other medicines that treat acne like the way Roaccutane does. Roaccutane contains the active ingredient Isotretinoin. Isotretinoin reduces the excessive production of natural oil (sebum) produced by skin.
