Started a 5 month cycle of accutane three weeks ago. Thought some of you might wonder how things are going. First week my lips got a little chapped but acne stayed the same. second week I needed some major lip therapy (chap stick) and noticed the acne getting worse. I was drying out but I started to get boils in certain areas on my back and shoulders. Im now at the end of my third week and finally noticed that everything is drying up, even the boils that started forming from second week. lips are still chapped and every crevis on my face is chaffing. I'm sure small amounts of lotion will help. Almost all of the acne on my back is starting to fade away. Havent noticed any other side effects yet besides major dry skin and lip chapping. Will keep updating on a weekly basis.
