Hi I'm Kylie. Ive been dealing with mild to moderate acne for about 3 years now. At first it never really bothered me but then it got worse and worse (to me) and to the point where it was all I ever thought about. Nothing had ever made me feel so self-conscious before. It was honestly the worst. I tried almost everything to make it go away and it seemed nothing worked. My dermatologist recommened Accutane, which I had never even heard of before so I just agreed right away. Afterwards, I went home and did my research. Man was I scared to start. I got perscribed accutane yesterday and today was my very first day taking it. I decided I was going to keep a log on here for myself and anyone else who might be interested in my awesome life. Soo, for today.. so far all ive noticed was my face is already dry. It seems itchy but I think that might just be me thinking about it too much, haha. Anyways, I'll keep ya updated!

Day 6 of my Accutane treatment:

 

Umm well not much has changed. I have got a few more spots here and there and my face and lips are usually pretty dry when I first wake up. BTW I didnt mention this before but im taking 40mg once daily.
