Hey Sammy, so my son is 12 (hes 5foot 6) and looks about 15, he was hit bad by puberty at 10 and since 11 hes has cystic acne, thats getting worse and worse, hes trying to get out of school cos he hates going out looking like that and it kills me to send him like that, so the docs started him on acutane yesterday only 20mgs but i think thats cos hes so young, they want to see him again in 5 weeks, prob for the blood 2 be done again . do u think 12 is too young for this drug, he took 1st one 2day
Hy 1 month later my skin is starting tho get oily is dis normal? i am on 20 Mg .Tho get my skin dry again i have tho go tho 40 Mg ??? reply pls sorry for my bad english
hi samismurf :) your videos are so encouraging and helpful! thank-you so much for making them. i am also on accutane, in my 2nd week. my sister and i watch your videos..they are so funny :D btw, where are you from?
I am also on accutane, in my 2 week now. Your videos are so encouraging and helpful, thank-you so much. My little sister and I have been watching them, and we are usually laughing a lot :D So good luck with your accutane, btw where are you from?
Hi Sami, I just found your videos online the other day, and I'm really inspired by them. I am starting accutane in about a month and I'm so nervous that I will not react well to the medication. I have also been isolating myself from the world and I can't wait for that to be over. I stopped eating dairy over a year ago and it helped my skin tremendously! I used to break out terribly from it....I really hope it works!! Keep it up, and good luck!
omg i get what you mean when you say i feel like a monster gosh hate that feeling! im going to see my derm in a week to talk about accutane :) but hum jaimerais savoir combien de temps entre le jour ou tu decide (avec ton dermatologue) que tu veux prendre l'accutane et le jour ou tu prend ta premiere pillule ?.. jpx plus attendre mon acne me rend folle lol.. en passant jador tes videos :P
took probably 1 week, but you are a girl, so you"ll have to take the pill not to get pregnant, but I'd say, like in a month, you ould probably get it ;)!
I appreciate your videos, you are entertaining and very informative. I suffer from cystic acne and I will be starting my first Accutane treatment next month. I feel the same way you described in this video about isolation and wanting to start a new acne free life. Thanks for the encouragement, your skin looks great from what I can see in your recent videos.
dude...i'm on 60 mgs now too..start of the 2nd month...My skin looks jus about the same.. Umm i got a question: I have lil holes and i kno their scars, but in the scars their a lil red..My question is will the redness go away...I kno the scars wont..jus askin thanx (anyone)
Please please please try the raw diet!! lol you are so good looking undernieth. Acne (along with a very long list of other health problems) is (in adult cases) the side effect of processed and cooked foods. Returning to the earth to meet your nutritional needs will heal your body and skin. Try introducing 4 tbsp of hemp seeds (and ditch to meds) to get rid of that dryness! you'll see results in days. A week at the most. promise! what do you have to lose? meds aren't permanent.
Hey, thanx for the info! I have tried eating healthy as much as possible and it never changed anything. Sometimes it's in ppl's body and you can't help it. How can you explain that some ppl are eating Mcdonalds and crap every day and they've got flawless skin... Anyway, everybody is different. I'm glad it works for you. Have an awesome day!
hi!Hey jai regardé tes vidéos pis je te souhaite que sa marche.C'est rares lesvidéos du monde de Québec qui prennede l'accutane(je suis de Lévis,j'ai visité un paquet de sites etregardés un tas de vidéos pour mesproblèmes d'acnée,mais aucun produit a lair de marcher. Moi aussi je vais pt en prendre en mars,je vais voir un dermatologue pis sa mestress un peu parceque je sais qu'il y a pas mal d'effets secondaires a l'accutane.Mais bon je suis prêt à en prendre.
Anywayz I also wanted 2 say that u remind me of my Serbian friend so much...u both have the same look n good humor 2 ;) Good Luck! I hope 2 c u being much happier about ur skin in a month or two...
I just wanted 2 say good luck on ur accutane experience...I'm sure that it will make ur acne much better or hopefully gone!!! U should not feel like a "monster" as u said, go out n enjoy life with or without acne, life is short so even though I kno how u feel like u just don't want 2 b around other ppl and u feel like everybody's lookin at ur face....consider the fact that some ppl have much worse "diseases" in the world...n take comfort in it..
I completely agree!!! I preech this to EVERYONE...be THANKFUL we only have acne, it can be fixed, life's too short to let skin bring you down so much cause you never know when your time is up. Sounds deep for acne but ever since my mom was diagnosed with cancer, it's been really hard for me to let my skin control my life because I know it'll get better someday and I'm lucky to only have to deal with pimples..we have our health =]
hi samismurf! i just wanted to say thank you for posting your accutane experience, i'm actually starting accutane in a couple of weeks and i'm pretty scared/nervous/excited but i know how you feel people have been telling me that i will grow out of my acne and that i just have to wait since i was 11 and i'm turning 20 soon!! but anyways goodluck with accutane
well I guess if it can help people. it's useful then to do it. I'm still breaking out and I'm on my 5week, I'm so tired of it! I'm not giving up but it is so hard but so hard! Anyway, have a good day, and good luck!
I guess you can, I don't smoke so it's not an issue for me but if you really wanna know, ask your doctor! Anyway, smoking is in itself a disease and I'm already sick with acne, I don't need another disease. Anyway, that's only my opinion, I'm not saying you to stop or whatever, it's not my job or responsability. Peace man
Ya I am on my 9th month and all I have to say to people is suck it up I have been on this shit for the second time now and I dont believe it is as bad as some people make it out to be
My acne is 3 times worse than yours, it covers all of my face, no clear spot. Ya so Im on it for 2 weeks now and have really dry skin everywhere. I havent seen any progress on it yet. But hopefully we can have better life after we finish this! Please keep up the good work!
yeah, we are starting our adult life and should not have to deal with this problem, we have enough like that, anyway, good luck with your treatment, have a super dupper day!
hey samismurf lol...im almost done with my second month and i gotta be honest dude... my skin is like 3x worser than yours, and honestly by like the 4th week my skin started to dry bad and 2 weeks after my skin got so so so so much better. i swear its almost clear seriously!!! lol..and i drink milk eat eggs and eat basicly anything i want.. and i still dont break out lol so yeah dont be scaerd to eat anything you want =] good look, and trust me when your done with your 2nd month your gonna like
thanx dude for reassuring me, I guess everybody is different it's a case by case, but I'm sure when it's gonna kick in, it's gonna work. I try putting every chances on my side cause I've seen in the past what I eat had an influence on my skin. anyway, we'll see, have a good day, and good luck with your treatment!
trust me, my breakout lasted until the END of the SECOND month... then the third month i started getting better slowly... then it started getting VAST improvement at like 3rd week of third month and on... stick with it bro
props dude, ive been on it for 3 weeks or so, getting my blood taken next month, hopefully ill get on 60mg just like you, im currently at 40mg. keep making these videos, it helps alot to know someoneelse is going through this same journey.
thanx alot, yeah it's great to be able to relate to somebody but pratically nobody is making videos. I know it's hard cause we all got our prides but leave that behind! we already suffer enough! anyway good luck with your treament, it will work! don't give up
Thanks Samismurf, a lot of what you said hit home with me. I wasn't too sure how other people felt about having bad skin. I'm 20 and and I feel I shouldn't havebad skin at my age too. I have a doctors appoinment in a few weeks and I'll hopefully prescribed to accutane. I hope your skin improves and keep on making videos, you're helping a lot of people out.
thanx alot, I'm glad I connect with some people with my ideas! Can't wait to be finally free from my body! I feel I'm prisoner of my skin and she decides wheter or not I have the right to have social activities, etc,etc you know. I'm excited to start my adult life once for all!
Je vie a québec la ville , pis ouais merci lol moi aussi je l'espère bien pcq j'était vraiment rendu a un point ou j'avais de la haine envers l'acne LOL mais la j'te dirais que c'est comme un cercle vicieux mais dans le bon sens le fait que j'en aille presque plus fait que je suis moins porté a y pensé et a stressé a propos de ca et ca l'aide énormement , Bonne chance toi aussi en passant ( mais t'en aura pas besoin lol j'suis sure ca va marcher )
ouep je confirme, c'est un cercle vicieux, plus ten a plus tu stress plus ca sort! grrr, tk je crois aussi que ca va marcher. J'me croise les doigts. J'ai hate de reprendre confiance en moi!
Yea well, the reason why you don't see it as much as everybody is because you look at yourself everyday , it's like looking at the hours on a clock lol but I'm pretty sure you are aware of that =D
yeah I'm aware of that, but I got the feeling it's still getting worse and all you know. Anyway, I'm trying to put all chances on my side so I drink alot of water, exercice, try to eat well, sleep alot, try toavoid stress! Anything that could help healing faster!
Et en passant , empêche toi pas trop de manger des cochonneries lol parce que moi jme suis bourré la face une coupe de fois pis ca change vraiment rien pendant que t'es sur accutane
bonne chance ,month 3 here ,et je suis finalement en train de remarquer une grosse difference ,jai vraiment mais vraiment moins de nouveau boutons ,jte dirais 90% et + amélioration mais sans te décourager ca l'a pris au moin jusqu'a milieu 2eme mois pour voir une grosse difference ,mais tout cas décourage toi surtout pas ,ca va venir! bonne chance.
Nice! People around me always tell me its getting better but I don't see it. Thanks for the spotlight at the end ;) maybe people will stop telling us we're complaining too much. I can't believe its already been a month for you =] Congrats
