Day 4 - My Accutane treatment for Acne
March 31st, 2008
Well, my face is still looking very clear, though I am mid cycle. I also think that the Yasmin (contraceptive pill) is helping too. I don’t seem to have much dryness and my lips seem ok too, but that is probably as I haven’t been without lip balm since I started.
I am still waiting for my Dermalogica to arrive so I have been using Simple foaming face wash and Nivea calming day cream, both of which I had already.
Two things to note. Firstly I have had a pain/ache on my right hand kind of under my ribs since yesterday, I have been paranoid that my liver is packing up so I bought some Milk Thistle, the seeds of this plant contain an antioxidant called silymarin which is supposed to help protect the liver, it’s worth a try!
Secondly, I went to my first exercise class since taking the first dose. I normally go a bit red when I work up a sweat, but, my face was like a beetroot and quite hot really quickly…At least I looked like I’d worked hard!
I am taking my 40mg Accutane dose with my evening meal tonight as I’m having a steak, it’s good to take it with protein.
