Just another WordPress weblog

Hello,

So it’s day fourteen of my Accutane journey.  Sorry I haven’t been able to update for a little over a week.  I’ve been swamped with exams and was out vacationing over halloween weekend.  My acne has progressively become worse–not too extreme however.  The MOST annoying side effect I have experienced is the itchy skin.  My facial skin will itch terribly for the majority of the day.  I’ve started to use the Cetaphil Moisturing Cream more often and this seems to slightly help.  Over this past weekend I was out in the sun all day everyday.  I constantly applied sunscreen and it worked–I came out with a nice tan–no burn.  For the last few days my back has been aching.  I am not sure if this is due to the Accutane or that I have a bad back. In addition to the bad back part my vacation was to a music festival where we camped out causing me to sleep uncomfortably for three days.   My lips are terribly chapped as you can see in the pictures below.  Please ask me any of the questions you may have!
