Accutane Day 17
I started taking Accutane on Feb.2nd for my skin, and it is just a little over 2 weeks now and my skin has definitely changed...however hasn't cleared up the way I have been expecting it to. Now yes, of course I am eager and a little impatient, but my skin has started breaking out..not in cysts, but in small tiny little bumps under the skin all over. Especially around my chin and my nose and on my forehead, an area that rarely had any breakouts whatsoever. I have read that sometimes it gets worse before it gets better, and I'm just going to assume that is what's happening in my case. The only other side effect I've been having are the extremely dry lips. This is no joke. I have never depended on medicated blistex the way I am depending on it now. I have one in my purse, my jacket, and my desk at work. The skin on my lips feels SO thin. When I don't have blistex or some kind of intense moisture lip product on my lips, they feel like they're burning and one wrong move will cause them to burst and bleed....yeah. Also, my skin is dry and itchy, so fragrance free, ultra moisturizing creams are a must. This is also needed around the ears and the nose. No mood swings or changes thus far, thank goodness. I will keep updating on any progress. Xo
