Hey Guys,

 

So basically, I've had acne since I was 14 (I'm 21 now); when I was 17 I was prescribed roaccutane 20mg a day, and it cleared my skin pretty nicely in a few months. I stayed clear for a few years with the odd breakout here and there. When I turned 20, I went on birth control Yasmin, and it my skin went crazy, breaking out mostly on my forehead though. I stayed on it for 6 months, but then was recommended Dianette to serve its contraceptive purpose as well as clear up my skin. I stayed on that for 6 more months, but my skin broke out even more. My forehead has this strange bumpy texture that I've never had before. Most of the spots are still localised to my forehead, but these bumps are driving me crazy, as they look horrendous in daylight; they're like tiny uninflamed bumps beneath the skin and I have no idea how to get rid of them. I'm now back on accutane 2x20mg a day, and I've been on it for 2 weeks. Honestly, my skin is just getting worse and the bumps more pronounced. I have no idea what else to do.

 

Any ideas? Anyone going through a similar situation? Here are some pictures to give you a brief a idea.

ps. they look a lot worse in real life!

this happens quite a bit in the beginning, you'll be clear in no time
