I just started accutane and my skin is peeling like crazy. I feel like a snake shedding its damn skin, it's insane. Is this temporary? Will I be shedding skin off my face the whole time?

you might be on too high of a dosage for your body weight

how are your lips doing?

if it doesn't stop within the first week or two you're definitely on too much - there's a target dosage amount and the speed/dosage period can be adjusted

you will be, acutane dries out ur skin to get rid of the oils n shit that's making you break out as bad as u are

so just use moisturizing lotion and shit like that on ur skin,

and use petroleum on your lips

then you should be ok

I'm in treatment too, I have 3 months taking Isotretinoin.

So I can say you that is temporary (like for a month). Care your skin, use thermal water for your face, lip cream avery 10 min. and use lubricant for eyes and nose.

Oh, take care yourself of the sun.

i can't remember too well since it was like 5 years ago, but yes, skin peeling is normal. i was the same as you.

the good news is that after the dosage you hardly get acne anymore. maybe once every couple weeks i'll get a little zit that i can easily hide with concealer.

It's normal and temporary. Just moisturize a lot, and you'll be fine.
