Acnecel - starting accutane this summer

[anon65]

I've suffered w/acne for the past ~4-5 years. It isn't cystic, but covers enough of my shoulders, neck, and face to be daily suicide fuel. I've tried benzoyl peroxide, differin gel, salicylic acid, etc etc and nothing gets rid of it completely. Is it due to stress? Diet? Genetics? I honestly couldn't care less atp and would risk dying from a treatment than having acne for 5, 10, infinity more years.

If a dermatologist won't prescribe it, I will just figure out how to order it online.

Any actual tips for a person who already has a daily routine? (morning - wash face, moisturize, night - shower, wash face, moisturize, apply differin)

This is my only hopium left for ascending from KHV.

Hoping it will work for me too. Do you still have a face routine or just do nothing?

It worked for me, you might become depressed like i had though. That is a potential side effect

I am already either depressed from wageslaving, college, or being KHV. Any improvements to my face are worth the risk of more depression from the Accutane.

Accutane worked but it all came back a year or 2 after for me. My back got cysts on it again too. Blackheads all came back too and my chest and neck both have small pimples again.

I Use a moisturizer daily and sacilycic acid creme for my chest and face

I will probably keep moisturizing afterward to make sure I don't dry out from showers.

Brutal. If it comes back it might mean I need to take it forever unless I want to stay acnecel. I've heard of people taking low doses long term.

Its terrible for you taking it long term is not an option

then it might be over

It might work better for you who knows. I think only like 30% of people get a small amount of acne back. I think getting cystic acne back might be a few % at most.

And its still not even close for me as it was. I think going to the gym lots (sweat) and consuming diary a lot + bad sleep cycle (inconsistent sleep leads to lots of peaking and low hormone) all influence it for me a lot rn.

I've never had cystic acne/large acne lumps, mainly just large amounts of blackheads, small whiteheads, and inflammation/redness covering my face back and chest. I have hope

Blackheads will come back almost guaranteed the others will probably stay away especially if its not severe

Nothing really
