Sobz, noticed a few new acne sprouting out on my cheek and close to the lips area. Generally they are smaller than the ones I used to have but still……………. :’(
However, on a positive note it seems like Roaccutane may have some effects on blackheads as well, not sure if any of you has experienced this? My blackheads are usually concentrated on the nose area but recently I notice that I don’t have that many new ones appearing. Maybe I should go for a facial to get rid of all of them and see if Roaccutane really does subside blackheads ;p
Very soon it’ll be 2 weeks since I’ve started on Roaccutane, and hopefully as per one of the previous comments has stated, my face will start clearing up soon *prays hard*
Getting on Roaccutane is a big decision to make.
I’m sure it will fix your skin, even if the ride gets a bit bumpy before you get there. Its a long road but worth it.
I’m not familiar with the restrictions Roaccutane sets on other treatments you can have during, but I’d suggest looking into microdermabrasion to bring on positive results a little bit faster… But you should definitely consult a cosmetic doctor or a dermatologist if it suits your case first.
Good luck and hang in there. Anything related to skin takes time so don’t bee too impatient with waiting for results. Realistically it will take 7-8 weeks to notice real improvement, but once you get there it will all be worth it.
