17 days in — acne clearing up and my face has dandruff.

17 days and my face is clearing up great. There’s some scarring, etc.. but it should go away with time. My scalp/neck still have a ways to go, but it’s light years away from what it was even last week.

I got a haircut a couple of days ago and when it was all said and done with it was the first time in years (no joke) that I didn’t shudder when they held the mirror up behind me. Normally they just kind of wave the mirror around so I can’t really see anything.

My face is crazy dry. I wiped my nose with a dry paper towel a little while ago and the result looked like the scene in Breakfast Club where Ally Sheedy made it snow over her drawing.

I have two splits in my lip, one at the left corner, the other is front row center on the bottom.

Attractive.

But, I have new glasses!

ZOMG! New Glasses!

ZOMG! New Glasses!
Even my glasses can’t sit straight!

  1. Your skin looks great! Did you ever have any sort of initial breakout? Im on day 8 of taking 40 mg (I’m being increased to 80mg next month) and am breaking out pretty bad, but hoping it doesn’t get any worse (it probably will….)

    thanks

  2. I had no initial breakout (knocks on some wood) but I was taking about 100k UI of Vitamin A, daily, for a week and a half before going on Accutane – so I think I ramped my body up a bit instead of just shocking it with accutane. Only side effects I’ve had are dry skin/lips.
