hey all,
so a bit of a rant and hoping for some advice too,
to cut a long story short i developed cystic acne after having the coil fitted. had it removed 6 weeks later and now i am on yasmin pill, helpping a little..........
i was refered to my dermatoligist as my gp said it was the only thing that would help. ive been on roaccutane for 4 months now and my dose is now 40mg/20mg twice a day!!!!!
so ive just come back from my follow up today and saw a new dermatolagist and he said that after this month they are takin me off it!!! erm i dont think so, my skin is still quite bad and still developing cysts on my face...... they wont up my dose because of my weight which im fine with but the uk guidlines say 6 months, ive been on it 4 months and when i go back it will be 5!!!!
im going on holiday in august and dont want to go with bad skin, im a beauty therapist which doesnt look good having bad skin to clients who dont understand that its hormones.
im so worried and fustrated with my skin its really getting me down
have any of you been in my situation before and offer ant advice?
