I just started to have severe acne last year december during the holidays ... it was really bad until i lasted to february and went to the derm so i took antibiotics for a month and it made all my acne worst............ so the derm decided to give me accutance 10mg a day ? i think its quite little compared to others who gets over 30 or 40 mg ? im 59kg . So now its around mine 4-5 month and it feels like it just got worst .... when i just started accutance it has initial breakout and now i got more scar ... i got even cysts that i did not have before ....... and it appears 3-4 near each other and u know how cystic acne is ... super obvious and big ... I really dun know what i can do to help my acne now . Its definitely getting better but .... its slow and one part is getting better but red marks and scars? .... looking at the mirror makes me wanna go emotional sad LOl although no depression thoughts . Dang i really miss my last year face when i was clear ... i had girls confessing ..... and now hahahhahaha i can dream on LOL im 16 years old anyway i never got into a relationship once so sad and of course i rejected them yeah somehow i feel abit regretful well ..... I really hope the derm can do something to help me ? im visiting him next saturday , and i hope accutance would really start working better next month or something ?? Getting cortisone shot only helped some of the cystic acne but .. it doesn't disappear just goes in a black acne o.o a small one though its flatten it has still something if i have no idea ...
One of the worst is ... everyone calling u handsome last time and now LOL has nth to say to you and say why is yr face like that u look soooo much better last time ... adults obviously ..... god oblivious to our feelings although i do know they have good intentions but still.... cant they imagine that happening to them . Well my friends do not mind and im still having a great day in school just that walking around is really hard... Staying at home is the best choice , im a really cheerful person but still ... welllll acne is really making me crazzy . I hope people can share how accutance help them at which part of the month ? or can do things to help it get better ? Or maybe suggest something ? idk if i would want to ask the derm to increase it to 20 mg . Theres always up and downs in life uh ? not always perfect well , WE should just enjoy life .. the only time i feel sad about my acne is when someone talks about it....
Hey RandomCen. I can relate 100%.
I constantly hit rock bottom and don't want to do anything but sleep away to pass time.
I used to be a pretty social person but now, not so much. I just want you to know that you're not alone with this
ANYWAY. All I can say about acne is that its causes are obvious. But the way we can control those causes are different.
Diet is one of the big factors. Cut back on diary products and sugar. Acne will become less painful and less big and less red(from personal experience)
Accutane is also really different for each person. Some people get cleared within weeks, some get initial breakouts/some don't, some don't see much results.
