3 Months In!
So my face has been clear despite my inability to keep up with my medication every day. I got weird patches on my arms and legs during this past month but they've cleared up. I get tiny pimples every now and then but that would be a result of me not taking my medications when I'm supposed to. My doctor said my face looks so good I may be able to end the treatment early so that's definitely great news! I do have make up on in these photos but all you can see is a little scarring.
1 month Update
So I started Zenatane (Accutane) a little over a month ago and I'm very happy with my results so far. Sometimes I forget to take my pill at night though and the next day I'll have a pimple but it goes away within two days. My only concern is after my six month treatment that my face will just go back to the way it was. I've had three friends (all guys) that said they didn't have this problem so I'm hoping I get as lucky as they are.
11 days after starting Accutane
So I started my treatment on the 4th of August and it is now the 15th. I must say my skin has already began to heal tremendously! The only side effects I've had are dry and itchy skin & my lips have been peeling as well as my scalp. It's kind of gross that I have "dandruff" because the medication is drying out everything but I'm gonna try to use Head & Shoulders and see if it makes any difference. I only have a couple little bumps on my skin, the rest is all deep underneath so I'm just hoping it doesn't get worse before it gets better (which is usually the case). I've been drinking on the medication too, which I've been advised not to by my doctor and a couple friends that used to be on the medication. I only have 2-4 drinks on the weekend and that's it. I've read reviews that say even that little of alcohol can cause a terrible hangover but so far so good for me!
