I have been off accutane/sotret/clavaris (generic brands that were substituted by the pharmacy) for about 2 weeks, my skin is healing the brown marks are slowly becoming lighter in color but noticeable just after 2 weeks my lips are back to normal my hands are not dry my skin is about 90% better but the derm says it will get better now that i am in optimal healing after stopping the medication. I could not be happier, i don’t know if i could do 6 months of pills twice a day ever again and the dreaded dry lips but it was worth it for me I could not be happier, i say 90% and not 100% because of the marks left behind by old acne and scarring but as far as cysts pimple and the like all are and yes i said all are gone!!!! yeah!!! Hippie!! Hooooraaayyy! Good luck to all of you in the beg,mid,or end! for me i would recommend with derm supervision. Good skin to all who have read and continue to read my weblog and keep the faith!!

My daughter is currently beginning her 6th month on accutane and is discouraged that although she’s seen improvement, the red marks from previous acne are still there. What can she do, if anything, to speed up their healing? Otherwise, she’s been happy with the results. What about the sun? She’s sad she can’t enjoy the s ummer at the beach.
