Hey everyone…..Ive just come across this site and thought id join up to chat to people who can understand and relate to what im going through. I have been on roaccuatne for 7weeks now and i have barely seen any improvements at all. My problem areas are my cheeks, they are covered in cysts, and are very red. I find it extremley embarrasing and i panic when i have to leave the house. I was wondering if anyone is at the same stage as what i am and could let me know when they started to see improvements?x

Hi Camilla
I’m just starting week 7 & my skin is bad too. My Derm nurse said this may happen in the early days but I’m so fed up I haven’t seen any improvement. My face is so dry by the afternoon it’s peeling around the spots. The Cetaphil moisturiser is thick and does the trick to start with but without removing my makeup and reapplying moisturiser etc at work my face is a mess by the afternoon & it’s so embarrassing.
It seems that the side effects do get worse as the weeks go on as my lower back is killing me and the skin on it and my upper arms is dry and itchy.
Also my scalp and the backs of my hands got burnt in the sun at the weekend even though I’d covered myself in sun cream and clothes so it’s scary how sensitive my skin is even in mild sun.
Anyway as you are ahead of me let me know if your skins improving.
