The Initital breakout sucked…

Between weeks 2-4 I developed many pus filled cysts, especially on  my cheeks. Now at the beginning of week 6 they are all going down: “slowly but surely” is an idyllic, apt thrase for the improvement.

My lips are incredibly dry (no matter how much vaseline I apply) and without the use of an intense moisturizer my skin gets very dry also - but those side effects were not unexpected and are in some ways reassuring as they show it is working.

The acne on my arms, back and chest is all reseading also. I love not having to use the blue light for hours and applying Benzoyl Peroxide (such a fowl chemical) to my skin, but my acne is still improving: at the moment I love this drug.

 Side effects so far; Dry skin and lips, headaches (occasionally), nose bleeds (from time to time - must remember to apply vaseline to the inside of my nose everyday - dont want to have one of these whilst at school), very dry hair, less reistance to disease ( I’ve had a lot of colds, which I usually dont get!).
