Hey all!!
My treatment is going pretty well. Had a few breakouts last week which was pretty irritating but they have pretty much healed up now. Also, i started getting a very painful forehead. It felt like I had burnt it (which is very possible given the weather) and when I put my moisturiser on it it reaaallly stung. The skin started to peel off uncontrollably (making it completely impossible to apply make up). I have “Eumo base concentrated rehydration cream” for very dry skin that i use on my body but have never tried on my face before as it’s very thick and stodgy, however, i decided to throw caution to the wind and cover my entire forehead in the stuff, and it worked!
I applied a layer at night and when I woke up and washed my face the peeling had dramatically reduced and it also stopped hurting. It also didn’t cause me to have any breakouts which I was worried it might do.
I had a derm appointment today, and i am being put up to 50mg, the highest dose iv ever been given (and the max I can take for my weight), so pretty chuffed about that! I kinda hope that with a higher dose i may have a better chance of staying clear for longer after my course ends.
I have to say, im getting very very fed up of the sun. Even with factor 50 on i still manage to burn. This time of year is rubbish when your a Roaccutane user lol.
