Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
Vaseline has a lot of ingredients? Isn't it just petrolatum? Or do you mean Vaseline, the brand moisturizer? I think you should anyway keep your skin moisturized with oils/glycerin, putting it many times a day. These will hardly irritate, you should try. In fact, keeping eczema skin moisturized wou...

Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
The itching is getting closer to unbearable, the longer the day progresses, but I'm not touching it. Not giving in to the urge. P.S. Facial acne update pics are coming sooner or later. As I said it's getting better day by day. Accutane is really helping my skin; my back and chest skin are now supers...

Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
Wow.... I know, right? Still looking for that one person that doesn't turn his or her eyes right to my neck when I'm starting a conversation. Next time you use BP use 2.5%, acne.org claims that studies showed that it is as effective as 10% and less irritating. And also use it as spot treatment, and...

Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
Does it ever stop? My facial skin's getting better by the day, but the problems on my face have been replaced by lesions in my neck. Eczema. To be exact: contact dermatitis.. Have a look: http://i39.tinypic.com/iqe88w.png It started after I smeared 10% benzoyl peroxide on my neck 2 weeks ago. Please...

Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
...might have to do with the fact that acne that was in the developmental stage before even taking isotretinoin. These 'developing lesions' all need to 'come out' sometime, which happens over the course of the 2-10 months isotretinoin therapy. Yes, and the more pronounced the effects of the treatme...

Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
This morning, I for the first time deliberately had a cup of oatmeal and some cooked salmon (both 100 g). I've taken reference pictures yesterday and will see how my skin reacts. I doubt that you will notice any difference, because even if you really have acne, you are on Accutane now. That's true....

Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
Update: I'm still taking Accutane, 13.3 mg a day to be exact. My skin is still recovering from the sun allergy/eczema thing, as there's still some redness and dry skin on the affected areas. My acne is a lot better. My forehead is as good as clear, and I have 1 active, significant pimple. Most of wh...

Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
Btw, how is the eczema? The eczema-like stuff on my face is totally gone. It got better day by day, shedding a ton of skin cells (the flaky look, you know). Now, there's still some flakiness and redness, but I am guessing that will disappear in the next couple of days. I can smile again without hur...

Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
I don't use any topical creams. Isotretinoin is taken orally.

Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
It's gotten better. I've had a good night's sleep racking in 10+ hours. The pain is less, a little facial movement has been tolerated and the fungus-like growth on the red patches has gone down considerably.
I hope it will continue this way.

Re: Photo Log - post Accutane -> on Accutane
First of all, thanks Mario, for such an elaborative reply. Don't you have urgencies, like in a hospital or a health center? That's because you have put way too much coconut oil. You shouldn't put any at all now. However, you can put a sufficient amount of glycerine or vaseline, for these are simpler...

Re: Photo Log on the Sample Diet
Yeah, that's some sort of eczema/rash. Could have bacterial or fungal infection also. Don't worry, nothing that serious. I've been through worse. I've had half of the back of my feet on it, in a way deeper wound, like a crater. And right on the burn scar that covers half of the back of my feet. Yet...

Re: Photo Log on the Sample Diet
Thanks I did that last night and went to bed. I fell asleep after an hour or so. So glad I did. Now, in the morning, the pain is less, but I'm trying not to make facial expression. I've noticed the patches/white stuff is also on places where I didnt smear coconut oil/moisturizer, so it can indeed be...

Re: Photo Log on the Sample Diet

I have been in the sun a LOT the last 2 days that might also have something to do with it since im on acutane again and im more sensitive due to my diet to changes liuke that thanks again not gona be a...
