Week four of Accutane went pretty much the same way as week three – all in all, not too much to report. However, week four called for me to visit my dermatologist once again to have my monthly Accutane check-up. Off I went to the hospital on the Monday to have my bloods taken, and back I returned on the Wednesday to have my check up, receive my blood test results and also take a mandatory pregnancy test before I could get my new monthly prescription.

My Accutane Journey | Week 4: Disappointing blood test results and skin progress | Rachael Divers
I sat with the nurse in an office and she discussed my side effects with me thus far. She asked if I’d had any nose bleeds or headaches and I filled her in on the side effects I’d had (mainly just dry lips and dry skin with several painful breakouts). The nurse discussed my blood test results with me which weren’t too favourable and decided a course of action with me which leads me to today!
Below, you can watch my round up of month 1 on Accutane, hear all about the products that have been my go-to’s and also hear all about my blood test results and what’s happening with my treatment from this point onwards.
