Prepare for a detailed, honest account of my Accutane experience. This isn’t a generic overview; expect specific details about dosage, side effects, and skincare routines – everything you need to make informed decisions.
I started with 20mg daily, gradually increasing to 40mg. Dry lips became a constant companion, necessitating frequent application of Aquaphor. My skin felt incredibly tight, so I prioritized gentle, hydrating cleansers and moisturizers. Expect photos documenting my progress – warts and all!
Regular blood tests are crucial. I’ll share my results and highlight the importance of consistent monitoring. Remember, open communication with your dermatologist is key. Don’t hesitate to voice your concerns – no question is too small.
This diary offers a realistic perspective, not a fairytale. I’ll discuss the challenges – the dryness, the occasional mood swings – but also the eventual rewards of clear skin. You’ll find practical advice on managing side effects and maintaining long-term results.
