Well…my skin is not very good at the moment - it’s probably the worst it’s been since I’ve been on the Roacc. Having read other people’s diaries I think most people tend to have a relapse of sorts between weeks 6-12 and then clear skin in the final weeks of treatment and I guess that’s what is happening! Don’t get me wrong, my skin has been consistantly spotty throughout the past 2 months but the spots are now getting larger and more frequent.
My back has been practically clear the past 3 months, ever since I came back from America (spent a month there travelling) and the sun seemed to really do the job in zapping the spots away. However, in the past say..10 days I suddenly have really big under the skin spots there that are very painful when I’m trying to sleep!!! I’m upset too because the sun seemed to get rid of any previous scars I had on my back and now they’re all just going to come back…
Face isn’t much worse than it was a few weeks ago but it deffo isn’t getting any better. Best thing I can say is you can’t even see any of my pores on my face (they used to be quite big) and I don’t have any blackheads anymore, altho they went after about 3 weeks on the treatment.
Another thing to mention is my nose is really really sore inside and has been for about the past 3 weeks! Very painful! Lips are also peeling now but no cracks thank God.
I really can’t believe I am almost halfway through my treatment…it’s gone by so fast!!! I don’t even mind if the derm tells me I have to stay on the roac for longer than I have to if it doesn’t clear up in time because I’m so used to the side effects that they don’t even bother me any more…I’ve also been drinking like normal and I don’t seem to have had any problemos.
Other good news is I’m out of the sling but I might need to have surgery on my shoulder in the future! Ahhh! :s
