I saved all the chap sticks I went through on it. It was amazing. I forgot how many but it was around 30 or so, maybe more. I am now addicted to chap stick. I have to use it all year round. The skin on my hands cracked really badly. I had problems with dry skin on my hands for a few years after taking it. If my hands got wet I would have to load up on lotion. I always had to carry like a pocket size lotion bottle in my pocket. I still get dry skin on my face. Most lotions did not do anything. Now they are okay, but it was a bitch. I just didn't want to be around anyone. I tried to sleep as much as I can. I counted down the days when I was gonna get off it. It was tough being in hs on it. People asking what's with the chap stick, your fingers all cracked. I mean they used to get bad and they would bleed. I had to put band aids on it. I would never think of being on accutane and roids together. The sides sucked but it was worth it. Stuff definitely works wonders. I had friends that took it that had acne problems more on the face and it made the acne on their face much worse. The acne on my back, shoulders and chest got a little bit worse at first, but nothing crazy. I hope this helps.
