My Accutane Journey As An Athlete - Week 14,15,16

Posted by Augustus46, 07 April 2012 · 129 views

Description -
Hey guys! So since nothing major happened I combined the past three weeks. Today I just took my 5th blood test, it's suppose to be my last month. However, I plan on asking my derm to give me 6 months to be on the safer side. Furthermore, since it might be my last blood test I decided not to look away during the blood drawing. Let me tell you, it was pretty nasty even though I am not scared of blood. When I  was told to open my fist my blood literally squirted two inches inside the tube (the lady just laughed at my expression). In addition, this week I forget to eat one pill, my second time (shame on me)! So recently I found a very rare picture of me when I had terrible acne. Therefore, when this is all done I will be happily posting a before and after photo!

Side Effects -
- PEELING LIPS! (I barely keep this in check by exfoliating with a wet towel)
- Drier eyes for some reason (But I can wear glasses since my face is currently not oily)
- FRAGIL skin! I went to the beach the other day and I got so many scrapes. In fact, I tripped and was holding a plastic shovel that pushed into my skin. With Accutane the shovel took out many layers of skin, even the life guard said it was deep.
- red rashes with small bumps, I am guessing it's eczema. I can control this with lotion so no worries

Advice -
- Buy a good moisturizer, no matter how expensive it is since I have used my moisturizers for about one year now (I have one for morning and one for night)

Skin This Week -
Pretty good! except I am guessing a white head just inside my nose




Oh and I reached day 100! I just felt like it was special haha
