Week Twenty One
Day One Hundred and Forty One – Monday 22nd July 2013
Aaarggggh, another spot has popped up near to last week’s spot.
“Dear Acne,
I thought it was about time I wrote you another letter. Now listen up, this one spot per week is tiresome and not really worth the effort on your part. So, let’s call it a day and you should now surrender to my powers of eliminating you.
Yours gloating
Roaccutane”
Day One Hundred and Forty Two – Tuesday 23rd July 2013
Everything is settling down nicely and I seem to be going through a phase of gentle side effects. All my scrapes and grazes are less. I experienced a new dryness side effect today; both my elbows were so dry that if rubbed it looked like it was snowing where the dry crumbs came off in mass.
Day One Hundred and Forty Three – Wednesday 24th July 2013
My face is looking good today, the redness is a lot less and my skin is feeling normal. So, apart from my two spots on my jawline I am feeling good. I used a very little amount of foundation make up this evening to go out. To my surprise I found myself hardly putting any on at all and thinking I didn’t need any cover up at all. This is good news and means I will only use it in the future as an enhancement for days/evenings out. It also tells me that I am used to my new skin and any marks I do have left on my face are ok to me because it’s not spots!
There hasn’t been much change at the end of week twenty one. Friday was my new day one for spot free days and I am still eager to reach one whole month with no new spots. The scab on my ear around my earring is still there. I have a small amount of dryness in my ears and nose but nothing at all like it has been. The facial redness still comes and goes to varying degrees. Yesterday, I had a very distinct red mark at the end of my nose, looked a bit silly, but was gone by this morning. My lips are still dry as they have been since day one and they do feel worse if I forget the Vaseline.
