Hey guys, thought i’d give you all an update!
Last week was awful, the weekend before last on sunday I got loads of little lumps near my lip going down to my chin, you could only feel it so i wasnt too worried so i ignored it, but it was itchy.
Throughout the night watching tv the lower half of my face got more and more itchy, all over my jawline i got little itchy bumps, by the end of the night the whole lower part of my face was itchy, and bumpy and red.
In the morning when I woke up, I hoped it was gone but when I looked in the mirror i had red spots completely covering my face like I had the most servere acne, which i didnt even have before accutane. Obviously I was devastated.
Luckily! I went to the doctors and it wasn’t my acne back at all, but an allergic reaction to something, just on my face.I got some cream and tablets and now its all gone, but for a minute there I was distraught! The reason I got the reaction was because I used a different face wash, so just to warn you, accutane doesnt take well to changing products!
Minus that, my skins clear!

Hope you’re all doing well!

Hey.
I think I was pretty clear by my third month! Ive been on it so llong now my memory isn’t so good! The only tips I have is to apply lip balm (i use vasaline) constantly, and moisturiser whenever possible.
Also, not to pick your spots if you get one, it truly makes it so much worse because the accutane will make it so dry and it will be hard to cover up.
Im not off it yet, I still have a box of tablets left and the dermotologist said i might as well finish the box - so i will!
It gets so much better dont worry - stick with it!
