Hi my name is matthew i was just wondering
i have been on accutane for 5 months and
then came off of it and my spots we all go
until now as i am getting a few around my
neck area i dont really want to go on
accutane again as if you just have to keep
getting treatment after treatment there is
no point really. i am now cleaning my self
with soap in the morning and night and a
moisturiser at night to make sure my skin
dont get too dry. would any1 be able to
tell me if that will keep the spots away
thanks.

accutane so for now im just gonna keep
using the soap which will clear my skin or
dirt and that and use a moisturiser at
night to stop dryness thanks for the

In addition to cleansing your skin it also
helps to eat a clean diet (cut back on
sugar and fat) and drink lots of water.
Some experts will say diet has nothing to
do with acne, but most acne sufferers will
say that it plays at least a small part in
your skin condition.
Good luck!

I used accutane for 7 months and have been
off for 2.5 years and it WORKED GREAT. My
acne was pretty bad and accutane cleared
90% of it and now only get a couple zits
(always in pairs, never single- can't
figure that out) every 1-2 months. I'm
using a prescription cream currently the
doctor gave once I was done accutane.
Accutane was expensive but well worth
every penny. I used almost every over the
counter acne medication, except proavtive
and found nothing really worked well for
me.

I can definately advise proactive as well.
One of my housemates uses it and he laughs
because he says he always sounds like an
infomercial when he talks about it. He
really loves it though, and he's got great
skin because of it. He, like me, was also
on a ton of medication as a kid to try and
get rid of acne. Both of us have used
basically everything on the market, except
accutane... One time I was on an
antibiotic for acne and I couldn't drink
milk or eat cheese for 6 months. Another
pill worked but made me really nauseous.
I'm 22, and I almost went on accuataine
once when I was 20. As I am female and
sexually active, I had to get on birth
control first. Luckily for me, the fear of
accutaine mixed with a better hygiene
regiment and the birth control pills
cleared up my acne, so I never needed
accutaine. My housemate just never had
enough money, lol.
