Hey guys

 

so this is the end of week nine. several things have happened this week.

1st - ive had two nose bleeds, one that woke me up in the early hours of the morning and another which lasted for the good part of an hour ! Rave on :D . :(

2nd- itchy scalp!! argh! driving me crazy, people think i have nits.

3rd - really dry skin at the sides of my mouth.

on the spot front….it just gets worse from week to week. I’m really thinking thats it not gonna work for me . :(

 

anyways, hopefully week 10 will bring better results, we can only see :)

 

hope everyone is holding up :)

I don’t think you uploaded the photo’s haha =]

and also i’m the same with the nosebleeds, i’m in week 6 now and i’ve had about 8 so far… two of which were this morning, one woke me up about 7am :( .. and then i was woken up again not much later with another! oddly enough i’ve only had them when i’ve been in bed.. lol, which i’m sure my bedding isn’t happy about as my pillow now has blood on it.. again!.

I’m sure you’ll see a change soon, apparently you see improvements after week 10 :)

I don’t think you can yourself!
I did that the other week and ‘Will’ told me to upload them again in a separate post and then he put them into my original post and deleted the other lol.

Hey Peter, I feel for you spots wise I am coming up to week 8 and they just keep appearing and I cant hide them with my high anymore! Havent had any nosebleed *touch wood* but have had the worst lips EVER whole top layer came off sooo sore too. I too am feeling weary but I keep reminding myself I’m only half way through so as much as it makes me sad I’ve got to get to the end and evaluate then. I just wish it was sooner!

Hi, I just wanted to recommend some products as I have had exactly the same problems as you. Dandruff use TGel shampoo by neutrogena, smells bit antiseptic but my head has not itched since i started using it. It weas driving me crazy before, so itchy and avalanches of dandruff!

Cuts at the side of the mouth, ask your Derm to prescribe Hydrocortisone 1% cream, its a steroid cream so ONLY apply to the cuts not to any spots as it wil stimulate the spots apparently. It takes about a week of application, but finally my cuts have healed, hurt so much even to brush my teeth!

Nose bleeds, put vaseline up your nose particularly at night, as the skin dries out as we breathe through our nose at night time, and also during the day, but really important at night.

And drink plenty of water to rehydrate the body, I had a big night out last week and drunk lots of beers, my face paid for it since, really,really dry, thought my lips were like sandpaper and skin flakes galore.

Anyway good luck with the treatment!

Hi Peter,
Saw my dermatologist today and she said I can expect my skin to get worse from about week 8 - 10 because it will be ‘purging’ itself, as you are about there now this is probably happening, but should soon start to get better. I have sympathy as I’m dreading it getting worse again, but will persevere if it means having clear skin a few months down the line. P.S. T/Gel is fantastic for itchy scalps, cleared mine within a few days and it was insanely itchy!!
