paris: Bumpy

March 11, 2010, 5:43 pm

I have a lot of bumps underneath my skin, on my cheeks. Has anybody else got this and do you know if it means there will be a HUGE break out? I'm a bit concerned. Or if this will just reduce throughout the coarse? Thanks, Paris x

March 10, 2010, 10:21 pm

I've been taking my pills pretty reguarly. It's difficult to avoid the sun, I don't really know how serious the warning is but it should be ok. My skin is getting a bit dry, definitely need to invest in a good moisturiser. However, the most annoying thing is LIPS. Oh. My.

laur4n: Day 29

March 8, 2010, 11:38 pm

I went to see the dermatologist today and she refused to put my dose up because I told her I'd felt a bit weepy and down. I'm a bit disappointed about this because I really, really wanted to shorten the course. She also explained that the reason I feel like
