Pimple and Cyst- mid month 5

Why am I still getting stuff???!!!!

I got one pimple/blackhead thing on my temple today. One pimple on my scalp yesterday. And a small cyst is living in my cheek for the past few days.

Why is this happening on the accutane?

Was it the pizza from this weekend? Why am I so stuck on this dairy and acne relationship?

On the plus side most of my bad side effects are gone. I don't feel 100% physically, but I am feeling so much better!

Hi, I still get the occasional small pimple too. Is it the time of the months, perhaps? As long as it's not a cyst, though, it doesn't bother me!

I'm on the last week of my 5th month and am back on the full dose, because my doctor wanted me to do that. It's going fine, except that I can hardly wear my contacts anymore without getting pink eye-ish symptoms. AND my facial skin is dryer than it's ever been! Weird dry patches and stuff.

Can't wait to be done....

I was on accutane a few years ago. I would get large cysts that were painful and accutane helped to alleviate 90% of them. Even now, I'll still break out, but they are not nearly as bad. The effects of accutane can be pretty harsh. I had a few spots on my face and ears that were so dry and red, they didn't heal until after I was done. My skin was bright red and the skin around my eyes stayed white, giving me a totally sweet racoon look, hah. In the end, it was worth it, but I wouldn't do it again unless I had no other options. With that said, keep focused on how your skin will look months from now. It should be definitely be healthier. All keep in mind that stress, diet, and exercise can play just as an important role as hormones when it comes to acne. Good luck!
