Well, have just completed my 4th week on Roaccutane and apart from my skin really drying up, I haven’t noticed a huge difference. Still getting quite a few spots, particularly on my forehead and around my mouth, which is a bit disappointing, especially as they are really big ones, but they do seem to be clearing up a bit quicker.
Have been using Vaseline on my lips since the day I started, but the corners of my mouth have split and are really sore-not much to improve the pulling stakes! Can anyone recommend a good lip balm?
My scalp was extremely itchy for about a week, but luckily using T/Gel shampoo has sorted that out. It is very expensive though and it stinks, so I’m hoping I won’t have to use it every time I wash my hair now - will let you know.
Was really worried about my moods being affected and warned my close friends and family to watch out for that, but everyone says they’ve noticed no difference and neither have I, so I’m hoping that’s a good sign for the rest of my treatment.
Did anyone else have to wait a while before the spots really started disappearing? Maybe I’m just being impatient but after having had them for so long I just want them to go!
