About Me

So I'm starting this blog 5 weeks into the treatment (May 29th 2010). I have googled about accutane and found many different responses. Thought I'd contribute mine. Promise to keep it short and sweet.

I'm a 24 year old female, with moderate to oily skin. I mainly have acne on my face and back. I also have KP on my arms. The types of acne vary from cystic and nodule under my jaw to white heads and papules on my forehead, the right side of my chin and hairline. No history of depression. History of high cholesterol. Used to take Lipitor but discontinued three months prior to Accutane, to avoid any liver damage.

I started birth control pills with Accutane. Never took birth control before. Started with Ortho tri cyclen lo then switched to Ortho tri cyclen because I read that lo doesn't help with acne.
