yup accutane works, with slight side effects, such as dryness, cant be long under the sun, etc.

google on it for more info.

Hi.may I know how long to start working with accutane ? Malaysia only carry 10mg or 20 mg only ?

treatment can be seen within days, but not without the adverse reactions. dosage depends on your dermatologist.

Yep, works for me too.

Side effects like dry facial skin & lips - I can live with. Acne is a for me.

I think for me the effects can be seen within a month. My dose is currently being tapered down slowly (after 6 months). No new acne forming. Just trying to get rid of the scars for now.

May I know which brand you taken for accutane ?

To avoid this start meditation as it helps to keep away from stress. And visit beauty parlor every weekend so can get clean and clear skin.

I'm using Roaccutane by Roche. See attached image.


Attached thumbnail(s)

a fren took accutane..okay, her face cleared off..no acne, jus the scars left. but now she suffers backaches...
spine has issue.. shes only 32.

the cause of this is not certain, whether is due to accutane..but the prevailent side effects is ulsers in stomach. i can confirm as my cousin has this too...gastric probelms etc

read below

accutane

so be careful laa.

Yea.. But in Malaysia's dermatologists only give out low dose from 10 mg to 20 mg to minimize the side effects ..

don't pop pills la; try homemade soap to balance the pH

have you try to consult with skin specialist for advice? last time i have terrible acne issues, i tried many skin care product and done many facial but dont help. in the end i went to skin clinic and they cure my issues. never deal with any pills, at first they give intro me a kind of skin care that special for acne. after around 2-3 months my acne reduce and very seldom breakout now. then i start deal with the scars and pigmentation issues. same also using clinic intro product and now everything looks fine. both product they intro only can brought from skin clinic with doctor consult.
i think maybe you should give a try. dont so fast into those pills yet as no one know how far the side effect can be.

Hey .. May I know which clinic you went ? Skin specialist just give out skin care product ?

i go the skin clinic in pj SS2 name Clique.
the skin care product have to buy one. for the acne control is around 300++ per set, can use for around 5months.
the one i using now for remove scars and pigmentation is more expensive.
where is ur location?

i want to give simple advice...

try to avoid oral medicine unless really needed..

for acne.. go to farmasy and buy TEA TREE SOAP
I used to go to clinic or doctor its all useless... wasted so much

tea tree is natural fungus and bacteria killer (the tea tree oil is like disinfecter)... it works.. just wash your face daily when u wake up and before you sleep...and try to change ur pillow once per month/2months... all the best to you bro

Facial is not working for me ._. Looking for long term remmsion of acne ..

I finally decided to start Isotretinoin treatment for my acne problem which came all of a sudden in April this year and I'm 28 years old!

Wasted a bomb on facial products, facial, antibiotics etc.. and I guess I should just go for the final medication once and for all (as my derm said this is the only chance to make the acne 'putus akar')

I am prescribed with the generic form Nimegen 20mg. for first 20 days I am to take 20mg (1 pill) after another day. then 20mg once a day subsequently. I'm just on my 2nd pill today, so far so good, the dryness has not occur...

I have been on roaccutine since I was 22 and I would say tht effect is superb ....than after 1 year doctor put me on low dosage and eventually try to cut off from it ....but when I stop ...the huge pimples poop back ....so now I am28 years old but still eating the medication ..dosage around 10mg every 2 months .

Hopefully can stop soon ..

I had pimples problem before but not that bad as your. Is like non stop pimples gone and come again. T~T

After i saw a product really popular in facebook called "Lamor2" have a lot people had see result within 7-14 days. A box have 15 sachets cost RM 180, so why not have try. I was surprise is really work. Today is the 12th day i having this products, now my face no more pimples already only left all the pimples scar. But the pimples scar is reduce day by day and my skin is more brighter too. For my experience the pimples scar will take around few month only disappear.

Maybe you can have a try for this product.

just started 3rd month of my accutane, acne cleared completely, left scars and whiteheads, i just needa get to the salon to pop out the white heads and my face will be good enough, accutane even cleared my backne

but the side effect for accutane i think pretty much u can find from the internet, nothing serious for me, only dry lips, and eyes sensitive to strong light source, these will go away as u finish the course
