Day 2

Posted by tamerlane, 08 August 2012 · 101 views

Hi Jay - thanks for the comment!  I'd heard of the eye dryness side effect - just didn't think it would take effect so soon!   Though it's calmed down already since yesterday.

Day 2: woke up with 2 new active spots in my 'danger zone' = the sides of my nose and chin- as these are the most fertile breeding grounds for spots to grow roots.  I meant to say that I'm also on Dianette - a birth control specifically designed to help with skin issues - which I've been on for the last 10 months or so and has majorly helped my skin.  Spots that I do get now don't get very big and don't last as long - HOWEVER - this morning's additions are unlike the ones I've been used to lately.  Redder, bigger and meaner.  This spells trouble...

Aside from random spikes of eye tightness/dryness, my skin is still very oily (of course, only Day 2!) and a bit more broken out than usual (though this is most likely because of getting very little sleep last night).  I'll be posting no makeup pictures hopefully by tomorrow.

Treatment:
Roaccutane: 20 mg over 6 months
Isotrexin at night
Cetaphil gentle cleanser
Aveeno moisturizer

Skin:
4 active spots (3 from yesterday went down)
skin very oily
1 cyst near my eye
lots of red/brown scarring




do you have a new moisturizer to use when your skin decides to dry out hardcore? D: one of my friends actually had a tub of vaseline next to her bed as her facial moisturizer when she was on accutane @___@;;

good luck with your medication, I'm so excited for you XD! I'm sure you'll see results in no time :>
Hi CeruleanCity (great name btw) - yes - I'm going to see how Jojoba oil works out for me. I tried it years ago, but it didn't work so well cos my skin at the time was already *super* oily. Should be good on the accutane, here's hoping. And thanks for the words of encouragement!
