hey geeks,
so maybe some of you will find this mad that i am posting pictures of myself with NO makeup what so ever, but i have battled cystic acne for almost a year and wanted to share my experience for anyone looking into roaccutane........
i am 23 and always suffered with stops but after having the coil (hormone) fitted i developed cystic acne, severe the docs called it......
so i went to the dermatologist who put me on 20mg, then 30mg now 40mg, on Saturday i will be finishing just over 5 months of treatment and im so happy with the results, still a bit to go but im going on hol in august and it was the best thing for me and my skin to come off it.
for anyone looking into this treatment and is worried about side effects the only side effects I got were 1. dry lips 2. dry skin(mostly down my arms which i suffered with before), 3. dry, swore nose.
im not saying it was an easy ride though, i am sick to the back teeth of taking tablets, applying thick layers of nivea all over me and not being able to drink (which i have a little ) but i can say that it was worth every min of it.....
so look at my pics of before, during and after and let me know about your experiences or veiws,
thanx for reading.
p.s(the long red scar on the jaw line is from having a birth mark removed when i was two, not an acne scar
