Hi all, I have just found your site and its such a relief to know all the strange things that are happening to my body are the norm on roac!
As a child I always had very greasy skin and a red nose! I was often compared to Santa’s helper!!(kids are so nice ;0) When I hit teenage I spent lots money on facials, my face stayed red, but I didn’t have many spots. Life went on and I had my 2 lovely kids THEN acne hit.
At 25/26 I didn’t expect to be getting such bad spots! After trying a least 4 different types of antibiotics (which just killed my immune system so I caught every cold and virus going!) I was referred to a derm. He explained the side effects to me and I decided at that time I couldn’t risk getting depressed again as I had suffered with it after the birth of my 2nd child.
So I carried on with the antibiotics instead. Needless to say they didn’t do a thing! So I stopped taking them and just put up the the spots which, praise God, were mainly on my back and chest, not my face :).
But at the end of last year I had a monster! It was the size of a golf ball and it had to be removed surgically and packed because it was so deep. But it did kick me into seeing the derm again and this time going through with the treatment, 60mg.
I have had dry skin but have been using cetraben emollient cream and I’ve found it really works and if you don’t pay for prescriptions you could ask your doctor to prescribe it. I’ve also had hot flushes! People keep asking if I’ve been somewhere hot on holiday!!
So here I am just starting my third week, wary but positive and so much encouraged by all of you 
Thank you
