Day 6 - My Accutane treatment for Acne
April 2nd, 2008
Well, the sunburn look is continuing, I am an even darker shade of red today. Any change of temperature is playing havoc with my face and doing my exercise class left my face like a beetroot! Today I took my dose (40mg Accutane) at lunchtime.
As for what is going on with my face, I woke up having a very itchy chin, I have 2 active spots there today and can feel something going on under the skin too, so I am expecting to look allot worse tomorrow. It is also sore around my nose so I’m thinking something is going to happen there too. This could be the start of the ‘Initial Breakout’ I have heard allot about, it is your body purging itself. I think it can last a couple of weeks, so basically it has to get worse before it gets better!
Other things to note are my lips seem fine, they are never without balm of one sort or another. The eye drops are working well. My Dermlogica order has been delayed so I wont have my face wash and barrier cream until the 9th April now and lastly I have never drunk so much fluids in my life, I am always dashing to the loo.

Hi there,
I started writing an acne diary as well although I think I have it worse than you. Just wanted to post so you know that people are reading this. Hope all goes well for you.
