Im so excited to be finally going on isotretinoin. You can read about my previos history with acn© on my other post, but basically im tired and nothing else has worked so far.
ill be taking a dose of 40 , im 172 CM and 56 Kg
Day 3: no side effects Yet . I feel really sad looking at this pictures because i have so many pits and red marks. I feel like even after accutane ill look terrible. Jeez im such a downer. Still im very Happy im taking the pill and i am excited for it to kick un (even if ir further breakout) as you can see theres an ex Whitehead expelling liquid on muy right Cheek. Im sºper prone to whiteheads, this one was really big and it popped/got all the gubk out when i showered. After my shower i noticed the head of the sebum core and extacted it (so that the Whitehead wont form again) Is this the right thing to do? Because i dos notice that after doing that the oore remaines enlarged (as i can see im full of that on the rest of my cheeks) but if i dont dos ir the whiteheads fills. Up agains
Day 4:
In this pic you can clearly see how bad my scarring Is. My pores are enlarged , its all just looks so bad
I has a really bad headache today. Still no dry Face/lips. My Face feels softer but that could ve my new moisturizer, which i really like (Eucerin smoothing crean 5% urea). I woke up with very dry eyes.
All the very best. Keep postive.
We are all here in the journey with You, keep strong!
Day 7: Yesterday was the first Time i started to feel my lips a bit dry. I slept with a log of vaseline and woke up to very soft lips. Yet as the day progresses my lips start to feel tight. Im sure theyll get dryer but right nos its not too bad at all.
my skin still feels oily but i noticed today i woke yo and looked slightly less like a disco ball. This might be wishfull thinking.
Btw sorry if my posts are badly written, i originally speak spanish so my keyboard corrects things weirdly.
Also, my left side Is clearly the BAD side lol. My right side Is full of scars and backheads and small whiteheads but none of those actually hurt unlike what goes on on muy left side
Edit: btw, how nice and supportive Is the "acn© community" im glad im sharing my expierience with people who understand otherwise i think i would go mad
Day 9: officially on week two! My dermatologist say its probable ill have my IB on day 12 so ...its aproaching
meanwhile i seem to be starting to breakout on muy right side aswell. My skin Is still oily my lips are ok, nothing lipbalm cant Solve. So far so good with the side effects.
I have a maybe wird question, but does anyone know if makeup can get contaminated with acne? I have a cushion BB cream (those korea style makeup were you dip a puff in a "cushion" thats soaked un BB cream) that i really like and used to use while my acne was very infected. Yesterday i used ir and today i woke up with many small whiteheads. I know for a fact the BB cream Is not comedogenic. I dont know if this reaction Is from roaccutane or ir the cushion Is full of acne bacteria. Im tempted to throw ir away but ir was so expensive *sigh
It is possible, esp for bb cushions because you're dipping your brush into the cushion and applying to your face repeatedly. It is also possible that you're still experiencing the accutane initial breakout. I'd say give the makeup a break for a bit don't throw it away yet. Wait till your skin improves and retest the cushion later. Good luck!
