I am currently on accutane! My first month update :D

It has been exactly 30 days of 20mg Isotretinoin (accutane). I will be taking it for atleast 5 more months, so 6 months in total. So my skin still needs a lot of improving to do.

My skin progression

The last row of pics shows how my skin is at the moment.
Improvements:
-Much less raised, puss filled whiteheads
-Less redness and purple looking skin
-Less oily skin
-Less itchy
-Less painful as there are less of inflamed cystic spots

 Improvements still needed in: 
-few cystic spots on jaw line area
-few random, large spots
-black heads! They do come out easily but leave large pores...arrrrrgh

Side effects I have experienced so far:
-very dry and flaky lips
-still can get itchy at times
-when wearing makeup my skin around my mouth can get flaky, taking my makeup off -_-
-dry eyes especially when I'm wearing contact lens

I have not YET experienced the severely dry skin thank goodness as I orginally have very oily skin and I am very good with my moisturiser routine as well. But I think I will experience it after today because I am gonna start taking 2 capsules per day from tomorrow (as my doc has told me to).

BUT lets be positive! Although I still look like a red bearded person, its OK as long as I am still me and I know how lucky I am to be me. I am healthy and happy. If you have acne like me and thinking about taking accutane, I say why not give it a go!~ I know there are a few side effects that look off putting but if you follow the rules and believe that you are responsible enough to take this medication (no severe depression history, not going to fall pregnant, read all the precautions properly and understood them) then I think it will be worth it. If you're not sure, then follow my updates and you can use me as a guinea pig to see if I get good results! >_<

If you have questions let me knw!
