hi all,
okay so i had my derm appointment yesterday evening, and he said i am making good progress WOOP WOOP!! i had 3 spots that came up 2 days ago but they are subsiding now they feel quite big too. I had an interview yesterday and it was nice not having to worry about my skin or them thinking that i have bad skin etc.
I stayed up my mum this pass two days and because im blonde i forgot to take my tablets with me, i really have to stop being lax a daisy and at least try to have a brain. Anyway my derm gave me 10 week prescription, i have about anither 2 weeks left from my first one so 3 more months left for me.god that sounds such a long time ![]()
my derm said that the longer you stay on Roac the better the results will be but god do i want it to be over and done with already! he also said that you shouldnt really put anything atall on the skin - no mouisturizers, cleansers because the roacc will do its job alot better without the skin having to content with that. He said its like driving a car with the handbreak on, you can do it but in not the best. he also said that if i do have very dry skin (which i dont at the moment)that its better to reduce the dose if needs be rather than mouisturize. i was kinda suprised at that because a) i have spent a small fortune on skin stuff and B) i thought that moisturising goes with out saying on roacc! but i will try it his way as he is the expert and i will only be using sunblock and drinking lots of water. He also said that i should see a greater improvement in the last half of my course so fingers crossed.
Had some sad news on Monday - my auntie had unexpectedly died over the weekend, that’s really upsetting but keeping myself occupied keeps my mind from wondering.
So, side effects this week: feel quite tired, no dryness as yet, my lips are looking crumpled and they peel as soom as i look at them. I went to the gym the other day and my joints seemed to be okay i think i was a bit more achy than usual but that could be in my head. eyes are still a bit red. trying hard to eat healthily.
Skin; looks fine although i do have a few spots the rest of it looks really clear.
Hope everyone is doing okay,
PS - question for the girls - Im having my hair coloured tomorrow, has everyone been okay with going to the hair dressers?
