Day 37

I think the pimple inside my ear got bigger because it got more painful. It hurts to put earphones in it.

Today was my first day of my internship. My acne was fairly mellow. My skin was clean and smooth.

Overall, it was a good day.

Day 38

I woke up noticing that a small pimple on my left temple area and grown twice as big since yesterday. It should decrease down in about a week.

My back still feels a bit tight from time to time. The biggest struggle these days is for me not to forget my lip ointment.

Day 41

Haven't posted in a few days because I've been very busy with school starting up again,

I still have a very inflamed pimple on my temple. My back feels tight at times.

My skin is still flaky. At school, I have to brush off the flakes from my shirt so I don't look weirder.

Day 48

My back continues to hurt. It feels stiff. Some days are better than others.

I had a major pimple on my temple for about 9 days. Today, it has shrunk down significantly. Other than that, I haven't had any new acne in many days.

I apply lip oinment about every 2 hours when I am awake. My skin is usually always flaky.

I have been busy with graduate school, work and my internship.

Day 52

My back feels better today. My skin is looking better. In about 1 week I return to the derm.

He may up my dose, so I may have a new outbreak.

I haven't done anything about getting a new insurance. I have been too busy with grad school, work and my internship.

However, due to my back pain, I have worked out less. So, I have gained about 5 pounds in the past few weeks.

It is time to start counting calories and watching those carbs again.

Day 70

Had to stop Claravis because I may need surgery for an unrelated, pre-existing condition. Otherwise, I was doing okay. I had 2 pimples in the last 3 weeks.

I may resume Claravis as early as next week.
