I still don't know. I now wear long-sleeves. It's not pleasant and unsightly, but bearable. Only started in 3rd month of treatment. I've almost forgotten what its like to have a bad complexion, except for the scars.
Minimal makeup is needed.
I use an SPF15 moisturizer. My self-esteem and confidence in my appearance has improved dramatically. I have read all the BB postings on Accutane. I hope I don't experience hair loss or other heretofore unexperienced side-effects upon cessation of treatment. I can't say at this time whether I would go through another treatment period.
