No active spots just red angry painful lumps - still getting new ones after 2 weeks of medication...

Again, no active spots just the same as the right side. Big red painful abscesses on cheeks and chin.

It started first on my chin, spread to my cheeks within a month, now after a couple of weeks it has taken over the last area of clear skin I had! :'(

As you can see the right side of my face (left side in the picture) is swollen and heavy. Very disfugured chin/jaw line. Also on the corners of my chin have the abscesses that came months ago and are still loitering, over staying their welcome!

Progress after 4 Weeks on Tetralysal... Looking slightly better - easier to cover up!

Progress after 4 Weeks on Tetralysal...A lot of redness still and a few pick axe scars. New abscess on top left on my cheek, very painfull and sore...

Progress after 4 Weeks on Tetralysal... HUGE lump in the centre of my cheek but redness seems to be fading well. This side seems to be improving much better than anywhere else! Thumbs up!

Progress after 4 Weeks on Tetralysal... To say the least, my forehead seems to be uneffected by the meds. Abscesses coming thick and fast. Not all new ones are visible here but I can feel them forming under my skin. Much more painful than the ones on my cheeks and chin. The skin is much dryer on this area too... *sigh* Hopefully it will catch up with the rest of my face!

Progress after 4 Weeks on Tetralysal... Chin has improved LOADS! Redness has reduced so much, the lump on the right side used to be a huge abscess but this has now formed a smaller shape and seems to be hard and numb. Dermo says this will disolve completely but what an improvement. A few smaller lumps have formed closer to the jaw line but still happy with the recovery.

Just one lump left! All the other red dots are smooth and painless - possibly just part of the healing process?!

No obvious lumps left at all! Just a lot of blotchy redness like before but this being totally smooth and painless! Easily covered with make-up and noticed I don't need half as much cover up anymore!

No lumps left AT ALL!!!! Just the red blotchy patches....!!

Lumps have completely dissolved from my chin! (Ignore my coldsore!) Just the red blotchy areas....! Can confidently say I'm on the road to recovery!
