Accutane Journey (Week 4)

On 2 Aug (Day 22), it was the start of week 4th. There seemed to have some improvements. Bumps were less prominent, no new acne formed. Both lips and skin was drier but well moisturized with lip balm and moisturizer. I made sure i drink a glass of water when i wakes up and right before i sleep.

On 7 Aug (Day 27), it is almost end of 1 month. Let me show you a snapshot of the days.... apologies of the bad photography.

Roaccutane (Week 1-4) Right Cheek

Roaccutane (Week 1-4) Left Cheek

You must be wondering how I can even go out with this. I used concealer to cover but of cos the bumps cannot be covered easily. Although day 27 looks red, the bumps were smaller can easily concealed. As of today, besides some minor backaches, I do not have much other symptoms of side effects.

1 week - whiteheads surface within 2-3 days, 5x size of pimple bumps, lips dry; Side Effects: lips dry
2 weeks - whiteheads start to burst, some new pimples along the sides of the chin; Side Effects: lips dry, some minor backache

3-4 weeks - pimples and pores shrunk in size, pimple bumps reduced from 26-28 to 5-6, redness remains; Side Effects: lips dry, some minor backache
