Accutane – Week 3: Small Flesh Colored Bumps and Insanity

Feb 10

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

My chronicles of Accutane. Today is Day 22, the end of week 3. Side effects: dry skin, slightly chapped lips. I am continuing on with the probiotics (GNC Ultra Probiotic Complex 50) and a fiber supplement (Natural Brand Super Fiber). In addition, I am still eating healthier, cutting back calories and am starting Insanity by Beachbody! If you have any questions, leave me a comment!

The small skin coloured bumps could also be a skin condition known as Keratosis Pilaris, it is caused by excessive dryness of the skin and lack of keratin, (accutane increases keratin but excessively dries out your skin) I know a lot of people who have gone on accutane and now have Keratosis Pilaris, LOL. You get rid of one skin condition and end up with another, it’s a never ending battle .

im close to the end of my second month and i work out everyday and i didnt get back soreness until the begining of my second month for like one week then it went away. i was hoping it did because some docs take you off of it if you say that your back is aching
