Week 7 &8

Sigh~ Sorry....been really busy again x_x

Just went to the dermatologist for my 2nd month on accutane check-up.... these appointments have really inconvenient times. Just happens to fall before midterm week and finals week....oh well gotta do what I have to!

Side effects:

• Super super dry nose! Inside and outside!
• The blackheads came back and are drying up yet again!
• Drier body skin than normal!
• Scalp is dry yet again

I think accutane comes in cycles for me.... near my period I start getting a break out or get super dry inflamed skin. However, other than that I am doing fine and am on track of finishing my dose in two more months! Hoorah~ Hope all goes well and wish you all the luck with your skin too <3 Maybe after my accutane I will post my skin care regime :)!

Week 5,6

Sorry for the late update! Busy with school work....

Side Effects:

• Nauseous? After every meal I feel kind of queasy. sigh.
• Still quite red in the face
• Less dry, my hair is even getting oily after 2 days of no washing
• Some blackheads came back and I am having a little break out :c

Sigh, not a good week for my skin but hopefully it will get better by the third month! That is normally when a lot of people really see results :)! 

Week 4

Week 4 Guys! Done with my first month of accutane :)

So far clearing up. Last week I got a break out though :T Probably due to my period...but accutane is supposed to also work on hormonal acne.... >< *crosses fingers*

Side effects:

• Still constant dry lips, just constantly put on a lip balm
• Less dry skin than the first month
• Still red faced
• Sensitive eyes?
• Dry throat and nose (not too bad though, just drink water) 

So far so good. Hopefully my journey will continue smoothly! >< Only thing that is really really bothersome is getting the actual medication. I just transferred my accutane to a different pharmacy and there was a minor problem. The result was just a lengthy wait at the pharmacy, around 2 hours. 

Oh! My skincare routine is really helping the dryness of my skin! As a matter of fact, my face rarely feels dry anymore! If anyone wants to know my routine please comment or something <3 

Thats all for this week! See you again soon :)

Week 3

Third week of accutane!
Side effects:

• Dry skin
• Bloody noses
• Dry cuticles
• Shedding hair
• Redness in face

Well, it is my third week of accutane and so far so good! Besides the thinning hair, my other side effects are bearable. I have not had severe bloody noses and my lips are dry but they have not cracked and bled, unlike most people on accutane. It seems that I am lucky so far *knocks on wood* and hopefully my blood test will also show good results!

Oh! My blackheads are also almost completely gone! Still peeling though!

That is all for this week~ and hope everyone is having good progress with their skin problems too <3

Week 2

Week 2 of Accutane

Side Effects:

• SO MANY blackheads!
• >_< Almost all the pores on my nose feels like a blackhead.
• Drier scalp
• I am flaking and think my hair feels thinner ._.
• Slightly dry inner nose

Sigh, the blackheads and thinning hair is kinda scaring me. However, I hear people say the blackheads start falling out by the 4th week or so. Praying the thinning hair is also temporary! 

That's all for this week~
