anon81 0 Share Posted February 8, 2007 so...month one was slow, but no flare. just regular breaking out and that freaky blackhead purging thing. then came week five, and my face has been breaking out worse than it has since I started. the kicker is that my skin is so dry and fragile that i can't use any topicals on the new acne. is there anything i can do other than waiting it out? this has been going on for about a week now -- i'd read about people getting flares around week 5 so it didn't totally catch me off guard, but i have to say, this is disheartening...tell me it will be over soon...
