for terrible lips. My acne insecurity is now surpassed by how disgusting my lips look & I've only been on it for like half a month! I'm using aquaphor now but still, the corners of my mouth are cut open and my lips are peeling like crazy. Anyone have any suggestions?

Get off the Aquaphor ASAP. It only made my son's lips worse. Use Bag Balm instead. It really is awesome

Oh man I'm so sorry Did your friend say the pain is only temporary or what? I hope it goes away soon.

The Rx was already approved by your derm it sounds like. So all CVS needs to do is re-register you in iPledge. Give them your iPledge# again & they should be able to call it in & get you the medicine. Or the nurse may have to call CVS & give them approval again. I doubt you'll have to wait another month. This happened to me today. I dropped off the Rx for my son, and his iPledge thingy was already expired. So they had to get the number from me & re-register him. Then about 2 hrs later I was able to go back & pick up the medicine.
Hope you get it tomorrow!

It's not that red. It will pass

Day 58: frustrating. That's how I'd describe today. It seems like every time I make plans with friends my acne takes a turn for the worse. That big one on my lip is a giant red scab that keeps ripping open every time I eat and is so red. It literally looks like I have herpes. I'm developing another one on my left cheek that'll probably be in full bloom by the time I'm out and my face looks redder then usual. Acne just pisses me off. What evolutionary purposes does this bullshit serve?? I'm heading in to month 3 so I really really hope this will be the magic month that everyone says it is. I can't handle much more breaking out.

Omgosh, I feel you!! My boy just finished day 62 and he's still breaking out with quite large cysts. Face is better, and has been clearing from the top down, but man oh man his neck/shoulders/chest and back are something awful. I'm getting so tired of cleaning all the blood off of his shirts & pillowcases. Did I already ask you if you have any back or chest acne? I too am being cautiously hopeful about month 3. I have heard things really start turning around during days 60-70. Or month 3-4. But I also know it's the cumulative dosage that really matters. Ugh.
