So I just made my account and I have no idea if I'm doing this right?? I made this because I am about to start acutane and have very specific questions to ask you folks.
I have always had mild to moderate (but persistent!) acne on my face, however pretty severe acne on my back and chest. I have mentally prepared myself to handle an IB on my face, but I'm wondering... With this IB will the acne I get be similar to the kind I normally have? Just with more of it??? Cause I can handle the blackheads and small pimples I have but the thought of waking up to giant bubbles on my face that I'm my used to freaks me out.
Also, I already have anxiety issues, with the chemical effects if accutane heighten those?
I'm so terrified to start acutane, but the thought of getting to wear a backless dress for my senior prom and not worry about bacney makes me squeal with delight. All answers will be appreciated. Thank you!
The answer to your question is YMMV (your mileage may vary). Some people get a nasty IB while others get more of what they are used to while a lucky few don't really experience one. Take it one day at a time. Regarding anxiety, acne can increase anxiety, thinking about the what ifs can increase anxiety, accutane can increase anxiety. Take counter measures like yoga, exercise, journaling, etc. Don't hold it in and don't place expectations on your treatment - just let it be.
well maybe not what u want to hear but i can tell you MY experience
I had mild consistant acne
About a mnth into tane the right side of my face exploded....
It was pretty nasty and worse than anything i ever had before
the rest of my face though was completely clear
for me when in tane my skin seems to react a section at a time
after right side heeled...forehead got bad etc etc
BUT not EVERYONE gets an IB
