Currently
Hi everyone! I just thought I would post another update of what my skin is looking like currently. I'm breaking out a little currently because (it's my girl time) but other than that looking back on my pictures I don't think I can even fathom how my skin could be like that! I'm so thankful I did Accutane. Even though it was only for a month! If you're considering it I would recommend it 100%. Also, I'm dealing with a little bit of scarring(which looking at how bad my skin was...I see where it came from.) if anyone has any advice on what helped their scars go away please comment!
Update...
I stopped updating because I lost my health insurance and had to stop accutane...but I just wanted to let everyone know how my skin is now. After only one month of Accutane my skin looks SO MUCH BETTER. I have maybe gotten one small bump but no more cysts or anything. I'll post a picture (that embarrasses me) of what my skin looked like then and then one now. Like I said this was only with a month. I have a tiny bit of left over raised areas and also some scarring...but people try to blame the scarring on accutane and that's not true. The scarring came from large cysts and acne...which is the reason I went on accutane in the first place.
19 days in and Dry lips...are a real thing.
My lips have been getting dry since starting Accutane but the other day I woke up and it was on a whole new level. The whole border of my mouth is very hard and flakey. It's very unsightly and I feel like I'm applying Chapstick constantly. My lips and the area around my mouth also burns a lot. The bumps around my chin and mouth area almost look like scabs and are drying up as well. My boyfriend says my cysts seem to be getting smaller but I can't really tell a difference. Other than that I feel fine. No more headaches or muscle aches. I get my first blood work done next week and see my derm so I will update then.
