@acne-youre-going-down
My back, chest, right side, left side, front (kind of distorted but you can see my skin anyways, also I have a spot treatment on one spot), normal pic. No makeup. 1 year post accutane. Look about 15 posts or so down my blog for before pictures.
More photos over a year post accutane
I am a year and three months post. I only have make up powder on my forehead and around my eyes in the bottom two pictures and no face make up other than that.
I am using benzoyl peroxide , sometimes salicylic acid, cetaphil gentle cleanser, and cerave moisturizer. Iām not sure if I need to be using anything like bp, but it makes me feel better. I use it once a day on my face, chest, and back, and sometimes I skip it. I do not wear make up other than on my powder on my tzone and around my eyes because it helps if I get a little oily and it helps dark circles.
I went to the derm this past week and she said this is the best skin you can possibly have (knock on wood) . I have had some small breakouts prior to the last week, but I donāt know if it was my skin just doing something, hormones doing something weird, or mold exposure. I have been exposed to toxic mold that I am allergic to for a few months now and it is weird that my skin got better as soon as I got rid of that. Iām not sure really. I also know that some of the ones on my cheek were leftover from accutane as what appeared to be marks, but they were stuff that accutane actually didnāt get, so they came out a few months after I stopped and it was fine. No marks.
I used to take baths all the time over two years ago before my skin went crazy and I stopped because I felt awful about my body. Recently I was able to take a few baths and not feel bad at all about my chest or anything. So that is huge progress with how I feel about myself. Also remember I have actual diagnosed severe ocd pretaining to my body so obviously I look very closely at my skin and even when I have had breakouts my skin has still been at least 98 percent clearer than before accutane. I hope my skin can continue to improve and stay well.
I hope everyone who has had accutane or is on accutane, or just has skin issues has the least side effects and the best progress. ^^
The burn mark on my face went away. But also I have heard good things about coconut oil helping scars and acne marks drastically. Two people I know have drastic before and after differences with using it on knee surgery scars and stretch marks. But I also have heard that it isnt good to use all over where you might break out because it could make your acne worse so be careful with that.
8 months post accutane. I had a small break out that has been the same pimples for like one to two months. Nothing would clear them up. Finally oxy saylicylic acid pads 2% and benzoyl peroxide worked I think. And most of them are gone and better. I had about 20 on my jaw area. some on each side. but they were tiny. I was dehydrated for a month so maybe that caused it. I also took accutane for a couple days. 40 mg a day. to try to clear them up before I tried to sa pads and bp together. And it caused a small IB on my chest that went away after I stopped. I used benzoyl peroxide on small pimples hon my chest mostly. Sometimes my back or face other than the last month or two where I had the same pimples. The accutane did what I thought. It made me flush and burn on my face so badly i know i cant take it again so hopefully I never need to. I burned my face with a flat iron two days ago. The mark has faded but is still there on my upper back part of my jaw. ugh. I hope it goes away.
girl your skin looks beautiful! i'm just about to go onto Roaccutane in a couple of weeks (just waiting till i finish my dissertation), and i'm so full of anticipation! I've had terrible acne on my chin and forehead for 5+ years now (i'm just about to turn 21) and i'm so over it and having to try so many different treatments and having no luck. Your results are giving me hope! :)
sorry tumblr did not tell me I had a message and I donāt know when this was sent :/ thank you so much š Iām so glad my results help you. Accutane can be hard for some people, but the results are a million times worth it. I hope you are doing well ^
what do you think about birth control pills on accutane?
sorry tumblr did not notify me of this message ugh so I donāt know if you will see it. Iām so sorry. I think they have good reason for them, but I didnāt take mine. Birth control usually makes me sick. I was supposed to be, but I didnāt. My derm actually thought it was such a hassle as well, but they had to make sure I was being prescribed birth control. I really think that you should be careful though because pregnancy on accutane is bad.
Reblog In 5 seconds for good luck
āthis worked last night lets go for round two
6 months post
so I think my flushing has calmed down, but I donāt wanna jinx it. I seem to flush when I get nervous and when I dry my hair, so I use a fan and try to point the dryer away. Itās been hot, and that somewhat seems to trigger it sometimes maybe. But Iām really not sure. It seems to be less pink and red lately, so maybe it could be going away finally. Iām hoping anyways, but yea. I have a couple bumps on my back. They arenāt really noticable. And I get some pimplws on my neck and face soemtimes, but usually only a couple at a time (hopefully this is its worst) and my chest gets a few tiny pimples sometimes. keep in mind on week days I get like 4 hours of sleep so yea. I seem to be having some milia issues on my face. like if anyone has any advice on milia please tell me.
I went to prom last weekend and I wore a strapless dress that showed my back, chest, arms, and it was see through in the stomach and back area all the way around. And it was poofy. i felt somewhat stressed, but not really. i had fun and didnāt feel bad about my skin really. I did have a moment, but it was only about 20 to 30 minutes out of a very long day so. Iām glad I got to go to prom and enjoy it.
Iāll be 6 months post accutane on the 17th of April so yea ^ I hope my skin will be good and not get bad at all ever again. I have like four pimpes right now. two on my jaw and a couple on my neck maybe, but very tiny there. I get some pimpes on my chest like ones that are the size of my pores so yea microscopic. I also get some bigger ones, but not that big and not as often. I still have facial redness flushing usually one a day at least. I dunno. I think itās getting better still. I hope so. Iām a lot better, but I juat have fears of my skin breaking out again or something else. Amd the flushing gives me anxiety a lot. But I am doing more things now in life.
So people who are post accutane, what kind of pimples do you get and where and how often? I need to know so I can tell the differnece between normal and it's coming back. Also, has anyone had pimples that literally came on and went away within two or three hours?
I went to my derm appointment and she said the flushing could be related to the accutane, but also is just happening normally ( I told her it burns and lasts for like two hours sometimes) but yea. She said it isnt anything to worry about. And then she wants me to use the tretinon I have because it will ensure my skin stays clear now after accutane, but it burns my face. She said even once a week and dilute it I dunno. Anyone have any advice on the tretinoin retin a stuff?
4 months post accutane
I am still flushing. Not constantly. I have some days where I donāt. But then the last few days I woke up with a red face or half a red face that took like an hour to go away. unless I showered and then it seemed to go after that I think. I flush when I am nervous which is a lot apparently. I never used to flush before even when I was. Like zero flusing before accutane. Iām hoping itās going to go away and never come back. And I hope I just stop having skin problems. The last few days I have gotten about 15 pimples on my chest and a lot were somewhat bigger than the tiny ones I was getting only around that time of month. I donāt know why I suddenly got them. I also have one on my cheek under the skin. It isnāt bad, but it scares me. I am using bp on them from proactive to speed stuff up. I think I have a virus though and I havenāt been sleeping that much so. I have a derm appointment tomorrow for a post check up I guess. I still donāt wear make up on my face, and itās great I donāt feel like I have to cover anything. Though when I flush I feel bad. I also have like two dilated blood vessels though that have been on my cheek for a while. I really think they were there before accutane though and neve really caused any issues. I donāt know. Iām hoping I donāt get roceasa now or anything. I had to stop accutane early from flushing so bad. Iām scared really. Hopefully all for nothing. And trust me I am very careful with my skin. I dont even expose it to the sun. I take vitamin d. So scrubbing, sunlight, soap, or whatever aren't causing it. I get really depressed when I think about it though. I try to say it's nothing. I know it takes 6 to 12 + months for side effects to stop depending on people.
I still moisturize my face, neck, chest, legs, and arms. It isn't uncomfortable so I do it.
about 13 weeks post accutane. I still have weird blotches that appear on my chest and face sometimes for no reason. Sometimes from heat or anxiety. I never had this problem before accutane at all. It started on accutane. It still seems to be getting better and better though. These are all with only eye makeup (leftover or new). No face makeup. Three of them are taken facing the window in daylight on a snowy day (lolz I dunno I just got very detailed with that) and one of them is at night while im in front of an ipad. So you get a hint of the lighting.
Three months post accutane. I don't have any face make up on. Just mascara and left over eye liner.
Oh and also the keratosis pilaris calmed down and went away on my back and arms.
Two months post accutane
On saturday i went out with my boyfriend. For the first time in months i dressed up. I didn't feel oily so i was able to wear a leather jacket. I wore lipstick. I wore eye make up. But i didn't wear face make up. And i went to the mall and i went to the Cheesecake Factory, which is kind of an expensive fancy resteraunt. And i saw myself in mirrors a few times. I remember one if the stores I went in before accutane and i had make up on and i felt bad about my skin and I felt sad. I looked in the same mirror with no makeup and i felt pretty. Even though I still have moments. I am obviously doing better. I'm looking more into the fact that i have bdd which would make me exaggerate and see things on my skin that arent there. I'm not sure. Because i know im still having some hot flushing spells. Mostly when im stressed and haven't slept. But i can watch my face change back and forth drastically. Very drastically. And other people say that what I see isn't there anymore. I'm not sure about that. I will post after pictures as soon as i feel up to it.
