Hey all,
Week two is nearly over. Feeling the roaccutane kicking in now side effects wise! Dry lips, dry skin, no nose bleeds as of yet, achey muscles in back. Skin has been worse this week, spots coming out everywhere - in places where i dont usually get them.. on my ear?!?! I’m a little obsessed with it at the moment, constantly checking my complexion whenever a mirror is near.. i hate the vanity that acne causes! I’m rubbing small amounts of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide into spots to make them come out faster. I’m finding my skin is so much more fragile.. if I cannot resist and pick some dry skin, it leaves a huuge red mark which does not fade.
Does anyone know if diprobase would help heal broken skin?? Or would it encourage more acne?
Nothing else to report.
I’m gonna post subjective average scores for the previous week of key roacc-related dimensions. Be good for people to get a feel of how much things change over the weeks.
Mood: 6/10
Social activity: 3/10 (suffering already!)
Skin: 2/10
How much side effects are bothering me: 7/10.
That’s all folks!
