ATTN: Accutane users

[tvd220]

Ok im in my 12th week of accutane, but only my 8th week @80mgs ED.
Had an intial breakout of my face at the second week, and has been clear ever since with reduced oil.
Im very happy with results on face.

For the last week, Im having a nast breakout on my back and chest. I have like 7 painfull cysts on my chest that are like pea size.

Is it possible that this could be an intial break out, and it just hit my back and chest much later then my face??

Should I be worried, or is this normal? It has never been this bad!!

Note: durring week 6th week, doctor made mistake, and i had no accutane for 10 days.

Last cycle ended in late Jan

yah that sounds wrong man, i'd be pissed and concerned too.

I'm getting accutane soon, and shit better work better than that.

Wow january!? Are you certain that its from the juice alone? Maybe since you missed that week its a relapse ( not sure if thats the word).. if thats the case you'd think it would happen once you stopped it again. My real good friend got some cysts on his head while on cycle.. his hair fell out there and he had to get them removed. He was really prone to acne when he was on, once he had them removed he hit the tanning bed and it cleared him up, have you given some UV light any thought?

[tvd220]

yea the acne was juice induced, but never this bad. Im feeling that accutane hit my face first, and now its working its way to my back and chest.... I hope.

Anybody else have any personal experience to help me out?

Its painful!! And sooooooooo hard to work out.

[tvd220]

yea i tanned today, but that was the first time

[tvd220]

yea i tanned today, but that was the first time

DAMN, i thought tanning, was a big no no on accutane
but than its not like "no" actually stopped anyone on this board from doing what they really want to do me included LOL

When On Accutane Your Acne Will Get Worse Before Getting Better, Those 2 Weeks You Missed Probably Made It Worse But It Should Get Better. Maybe You Should Get Doctor To Give You A Blood Test To See Why The Acutane Is Doing That 12 Weeks In. Dont Take Gear While On Accutane Cause You Will Be Defeating The Purpose Of The Drug.

Dildo!

mmm 12 weeks in still breakouts may occur. im up to week 8 at 100mg ed and still breaking out a bit . but not like weeks 1 and 2 . im on gear too but it may be slowing the accutane down but **** it more muscle.

[tvd220]

does steroids defeat accutane progress??

[tvd220]

yea i dont know, i just want this shit to go away, it has never been this bad on my chest and i a have been off cycle for almost 4 months!!

[Testostack]

[arnold_of_malta]
