I saw my dermatologist yesterday she she prescribed me MORE roaccutane.

What side effects do you get? I'm on roaccutane as well, but I've only been on it for two months - no difference yet

I have mixed opinions about roaccutane. It got rid of my acne for the most part and has made me a much more confident person, but even two years after I still suffer from incredibly dry skin and eczema. If I don't apply moisturiser and hydrocortisone directly after ive had a wash my skin becomes extremely dry and irritated.

I suppose you can always stop treatment now and if your acne comes back get rereferred by your GP.

Firstly, dry lips. Like crazy. Made some pretty awkward situations, even with lip balm all the time. Sore, red, flaky. Whereas I never got dry skin on my face at all! But a sore face, and a little red and hot flushes on the face, especially if I am a little embarassed like blushing but I never ever blushed before roaccutane! Senstive to light, in summer I burned easy in the garden and it causes dark circles. I have mental issues that have worsened by taking it (probably). It has cleared me just left with scarring hope it doesnt come back

I get crazy dry lips too! It's horrible, I have to apply lip balm every two minutes, it's such a pain. I rarely get dry skin but that's because I always carry moisturizer! I blush a lot already ahaha, thank god its winter! Ah yeah, they said that was one possibe effect I hope it works!

I would honestly look at nutrition, detoxing, limiting western medicine. Western Medicine does not cure the illness, it simply mask it and you may get other side effects, whcih means more drugs to mask that. By the time goes on, you will be taking more and more medication. I have a family friend who took pills to control her skin condition, and it was only when she got to her late 20s, when she was really trying to have a baby that she found out she cant. She was told she needs to spend at least 3 years detoxing and getting her body back to normal, before she can start trying.

My brother use to he hospitalised since he was a baby. He was in and out of children hospital, when he around 5, my parents took him to a chinese herbal doctor in London. Our neighbour was chinese and they took us. Within 2 years he was cured.


He had to cut away a lot of food and let his body heal from the inside. Vitanmin suppliments was given by boiling veg. We all went a lot this this diet. And even though I was in and our and hospital with my brother, I dont remeber getting ill. Having organic veggie and food and other superfoods my neighbour taught my mum to make for my brother, our immune system was kept high. Till this day both of us hardly get ill and if we do, we rececover quite quickly and dont get effected as badly as everyone else.

Also make sure that no one shares anyone without. Even your clothes needs to be washed seperately because Chinese have different classifications of eczema, and if you have one the one which the germs can infect other people that would not be good. Also you dont want anything from anyone else which might effect you.

That Chinese doctor is no longer there, apprently he went back to Hong Kong after a few years of being here. you need to find some Chinese people, or go to Chinese community and get recommendations if you want to go down this route.

This doctor info about curing yourself with food is quite good
