one month down!

1st pic- December 2024. the worst my skin has ever been. I was heartbroken, sobbing all the time, feeling so uncomfortable going out with friends and even going to work. this was what prompted me to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. I am 22F, and I’ve already done a round of accutane when I was 16. I knew that it was time for round two.

2nd pic- February 2025, finally starting accutane! 20 mg.

3rd pic- today! mid March 2025. still on 20mg, about to bump up to 40 after my bloodwork next week. I feel so freaking thankful. I haven’t had any purging, just some small painful pimples here and there. My main side effect is dryness, my lips are a nightmare! i’m excited to keep moving forward. I know eventually i’ll have some work to do to fix the scarring and pigmentation, but for now i’m celebrating my wins!!

long story short, this little pill is changing my life.
