Hey everyone,
I’ve only just started doing this diary but have been on my second course of Roac for 5 weeks now. I had my 1st course 3 years ago which cleared me up beautifully - I remained on the dianette when I stopped roac (for contraception not skin), and have had clear skin ever since………well, until I came off the dianette that is! 5 months after coming off the pill and my skin was falling into that tell tale pattern we all know. I knew the signs all to well and got straight into see derm who has put me back on roac…joy.
My skin looks dreadful! I seem to be getting worse every single day - I am desperately trying to tell myself that it will improve again, jut like it did last time but my faith is dwindeling. I am just so humiliated at work - all my colleauges who are use to seeing me with lovely flawless skin must be thinking……what has happened to her?! I have been asked 4 times if I’m pregnant!!! I literally am getting 2-3 new spots every day with the old ones staying firmly where they are!
I am very lucky though and do have a lovely supportive husband who is trying to help but bless him just doesn’t have a clue how I feel - I think that unless you have bad skin you can never truly empathise with just how bad it makes you feel. I’ve got so many weddings, christenings etc coming up and just cant face it looking like this - I just want to hibernate for the next 4 months!!
Please tell me, at what point did people start to see a noticeable change - I just cant remember and need some hope……..
This website has been a saviour- thank u so much to everyone who posts and makes me feel tht I’m not alone……….a real lifeline!

I also think people at work must be thinking what has happened to her!
