HailsB's Blog

I know I didn't keep an up to date blog but I decided that I should let people know how my journey went.
Before I went on accutane, I had acne on my back, not on my face. I played a lot of basketball and I started the course in my final ear of high school.
My back cleared up within 2-3months but wasn't 100% clear until the 4th month, but it was hard...

I havnt been blogging due to the fact that there are so many accutane journals on the internet.
There at a few side affects that I had read about but completely dismissed before starting the treatment.
I'd just like to start off by explaining, I'm a very healthy and active person and I have a very stable/happy lifestyle.
These are some of the side...

I'm now at the end of day two, still seeing no side affects possibly due to the fact that my doctor is starting me off on only 20mg for the first 2weeks. I've started drinking a lot more water to prepare myself and I bought some mosturises, lip balm and more cetaphil. It may sound a little weird but I'm excited for the side affects, but then...

Okay so after 6 weeks of reading up on accutane I finally saw my dermo today who agreed to put me on it. I keep telling myself five months will go by quickly and I want my skin to be clear for graduation (late October)
I don't really get acne on my face, just a pimple here and there but I get them on my back chest and shoulders which is hard especially...

Okay so I'm 17 and I've had acne for about 4 years, I barely get pimples in my face, my problem is I get pimples all over my back, chest and upper arms so I've been to the dermatologist 4 times, at yesterday's appointment he decided that it was time to start accutane treatment because nothing else has worked.
I've been reading heaps...
