Day 8

Nothing new except that my lips are bigger and are getting dryer by the second. My back is better than yesterday; it was pretty active this weekend. I really hope accutane works, I am tired of my back acne! I hate all the dark pigmentation spots I have from acne too. My next step after curing my acne is to find a way to bleach all those dark spots.

Day 5

Knee joints not bad
Woke up with two big pimples on my hairline. I am blaming it on the PMS though.

Day 6

My period started. I also woke up with dry skin around my mouth. I dealt with the dry skin by applying ample amounts of Aquaphor.

Day 7

My back is pretty active today. A lot of pimples on my lower back; not cysts, but they are big and red.
Also, today is the first day that my lips feel super dry;...

Day 4

I woke up this morning and both of my knees feel awfully stiff. However, I do run everyday--so I am thinking it has something to do with that rather than accutane because joint stiffness this early on in the treatment seems absurd.

No pimples though . Which is common sometimes for me for my face, but never my back!

I started taking acne on May 22nd, 2012.

Day 1

-I had the usual one or three pimple flare ups due to PMS around my chin area.
Day 2

-The pimples from the day before seemed to calm down at a really quick pace--left dark spots behind as usual.

Day 3

-Everything seems pretty calm. It is as if I am just suffering from dark pigmentation of the skin. No active acne at all, face or back.
