hi everyone im so glad i found this site i wish i had found it years ago!well im 23 now ive had acne since i was 13 ive never really had it bad on my face just the odd breakout near a period,but ive always had it really bad on my back and chest!nightmare but at least i could hide it from the rest of the world!it started to get better from 17-18 but then i got pregnant and it became really bad then so i went on minison but im allergic to it and ended up with a damaged liver and an under active thyroid.pain!so i tried another i forget the name but i was allergic to that too and they both made my acne even worse and i started getting it on my face.i tried eyrthimision(dont mind the spelling!!)i was on that for a year with retin a, it did make an improvement but it stopped working i think after a yr on it my body got used to it!so here i am on my last resort, ive been on roaccutane for 13 days now.the first few days i felt really tired and dizzy with a bit off nausea but its past now thank god hopefully it wont come back,i did notice i was depressed but i think it was down to being so tired.my lips are dry but i can live with them.my hair though is shedding more than normal which is a worry other than that nothing more at the minute.
also anyone suffering with dry skin and red scaring should use jojoba oil i cleanse and tone with simple then 20 mins before bedtime i put on the jojoba oil massage in for 2 mins. it might feel like its greasy and will give you spots it doesnt it takes ages to sink in because it goes right into the skin but stick it out ive been useing it for 2 months and the texture and scaring of my skin has improved so much,i didnt use it the other night and woke up with dry flaky skin so i went back useing it and it hasnt flaked since!
ok very long post sorry bout that!!
