    I’ve just started taking Accutane too for about a month, but I previously took Roaccutane in Taiwan for about 2 months, and I can tell you that the dryness is a common problem! I worried too, because I even got a nosebleed the other day, but it happens to 80% of the people who use it.

    Here is a little link I found to be comforting, and I hope you find it comforting as well! –

    Here is also what other people are going through –

    I hope this helps and good luck — you are on your way to awesome skin!!

    You’re not dry at all after the first month?

    That’s kind of weird. I was feeling dry for the 6 month treatment and a few months afterwards.

    Is your skin clear? If so, then you’re lucky that the side effects aren’t bothering you.
