welll my skin looks about the same. i think i went a little overboard with the aczone this morning, because i look a little powdery. sooo awesome. i have some clogged pores around my mouth/cheeks, and of course on my forehead! it seems like week 2 was the worst of the initial breakout so far, which was not that bad, but it kind of makes me nervous that...

my derm suggested using aczone during the day to help control some oil, and i think it's workng. my clogged pores on my forehead haven't gone anywhere, and i have a couple red small bumps on the right side of my cheek. it's not so bad, but i just cannot get these clogged pores to disappear. if i don't see them moving by 12 weeks, i'm...

officially hate my derm and need another one. after waiting OVER AN HOUR to see him last night for our ten minute appointment, i told him i felt like i had a lot of clogged pores. he looked at me and said "well, most people would love to have your skin. but if you've already been on accutane, which isn't an option now, your skin won't be...

going to the derm today! my skin is about the same as yesterday. a couple of the clogged pores around my mouth appear less inflamed, but there are still a bunch of them on my chin and around my forehead, particularly on the left side of my chin. if i'm looking in the right light everything just looks so bumpy and gross. in most lights it prob looks...

today i've finished up my second month of spiro, and i'm seeing my derm tomorrow. i definitely have more clogged pores around my mouth/chin, but they seem smaller somehow...like they're come up above the surface so you can see them better, but they're smaller. i still have clogged pores on my forehead, and honestly i'm not sure if those...

this retin-a better start working quick. the weird cyst from yesterday is gone...so bizarre. i have a bunch of clogged pores around the left corner of my mouth, a couple plus an inflamed whitehead on the right corner, and a couple inflamed clogged pores above my lip. so pretty. i NEVER got clogged pores this bad on atralin, so i'm really hoping this...

today i'm feeling pretty bad about my skin. several of the clogged pores and one on my forehead have turned into pimples, and i have what maybe is a small cyst? on my chin? i haven't gotten cysts in YEARS. it doesn't hurt or anything so maybe it's just a big inflamed underground pimple. then a couple clogged pores above my lip have gotten...

update: i'm at work and looked in the mirror, and saw a big red itchy bump on my chin. i've gotten these before, and they don't come to a head ever, they're usually almost entirely gone in a day or so. so i dabbed a little bp on it (yes, i carry bp. lame.) and within 20 minutes or so the redness has gone down and it looks just like a little...

clogged pores everywhereeee. i will say that since i started spiro, i have had only a few inflamed whiteheads around my mouth, even leading up to my period. that's awesome. howeverrrrr, now my main problem is these clogged pores and the overall texture of my skin. i look in the mirror at all these crazy angles (i know, i know, i knowwww) and i see these...

2 weeks of this blog! haha the longer i post, the closer i am to seeing results...right? i'm not sure about my skin today. i was reading on someone else's blog that this website makes you overanalyze your skin like crazyyy, and it's definitely true. over the weekend i got a few more clogged pores on my forehead and around my mouth. i've...
