Hey
I was wandering what is a good make up primer to use. I have some scars and a lot of redmarks on my face. I heard primer can be good at covering up that stuff but I am not sure which one. Suggestions?

I noticed I have been losing a lot of hair and I am pretty sure its the accutane. I am so terrifed of going bald or losing anymore. I already have fine hair so it will eventually start to show. I am so paronoid about this. I started taking biotin, zinc and vitamin E but I am still shedding. Any suggestions?

I am about to enter my 4th month of accutane treatment and I am still breaking out. I started using emu oil to moisturize about 2 weeks ago and since then I think my breakouts have gotten worse. I feel like it was subduing before I went on the emu oil but then again I am not sure if the new breakouts would have erupted anyway and it's really accutane and not the emu oil. I am just nervous because I know emu oil could make you breakout so I thought it would be a good idea to try it with accutane. I am not sure if I should just discontinue the emu oil and let the accutane alone work and then worry about all the marks and scars afterwards.

I have been taking accutane for 3 months now. I am just a few days shy of entering my 4th month and I am sooooooooo disappointed with the results so far. I am seeing very little improvement and my skin is still breaking out like crazy. I know for most people who this drug worked for by this point they were seeing improvements and not breaking out as much. This makes me nervous and a part of me is so scared that this may not work for me. But I really want it to...I need it to!
This morning I woke up and counted 9 actives on my face with crap oozing on the head of them (sorry to gross you out). I broke down and cried. Lately I have been crying so much over my skin its so sad and pathetic. I am just so disappointed in accutane because I have been on it for nearly 4 months now and taken it religiously. Not to see improvements at this point is so disheartening. In fact my cousin said that my skin looked better before I was on accutane. That's because accutane makes you break out like hell sometimes so your acne gets worse and then it's magically suppose to get better. But what if it doesn't get better? This drug could basically destroy your skin and refuse to fix it. I am terrified that if this shit doesn't work within the the next couple of weeks this maybe my case. Of course with that realization came more tears. I feel so horrible and shitty about this whole accutane thing right now. Also I am concerned about the hair loss. I am taking biotin and zinc for that but still today when I showered I noticed a lot of hair in the drainage. I am a girl and I love my hair and won't be able to live without it. So to go through all this and not have good results....I can't describe the magnitude of my heartache and sheer disappointment. Month 1: 40 mg Month 2: 60 mg Month 3: 80 mg (to continue for the rest of the cycle) I weigh 130 lbs so I think the dosage is fine.

After using a series of OTC products, then getting the prescription stuff (Tazorac, Finacea, Retin A, duac, doxcycline) I still had major acne problems. My derm wants to put me on accutane but I have to wait due to the stupid ipledge crap. However, in the meantime my face is really bad and I have to wait a whole month. So to try to clear me up for that month she give me aczone and epiduo which is not helping at all. In fact after more than 3 weeks on these products I am still breaking out like crazy..not sure why. Even if it is one of those "its gets worse before it gets better" thing isn't that a little long to still be undergoing it? I read up on these topicals and most people testify to seeing results in as little as 2 weeks. Even if it does not clear my face I at least expected it to help with the breakouts and to prevent/heal not cause them. I can't do this anymore. Every morning I wake up to at least 5 new pimples/whiteheads on my face as soon as those heal its followed by more. So I decided to stop using the aczone/epiduo for now. However, I still got some time yet before I can go on accutane and i don't know what to do. I was thinking of just using some of the leftover duac from my last regiment because duac is suppose to be really good in preventing/getting rid of pimples. I am now also getting hard boils which I never had before and it's concentrated on the jawline. So I am freaking out right now. I don't know what's causing this I am not sure if even stopping the aczone/epiduo was a good decision or not and worse I am at a loss at what else to do to help control/prevent this disaster on my skin. Anyway for now i am only using the duac in the morning with sunscreen. And i went nuts and made my own facial/exfoliater mask from all the stuff I heard is good for your skin. I also exfioliate with Ginale AHA. O and I am taking omega 3, zinc and broccoli tablets. I overhauled my diet, trying to eat right, I drink so much water I have to use the bathroom every 30 mins and replaced coffee with green tea, sweets with fruits/yogurt and green smoothies.
Result: still breaking out....how long will this last..what else should I be doing I just don't know anymore |
