48 hours on oral and consistent topical ..
I wanted to take some more photos with ZERO make up, in big hopes of a breath taking aha moment while on accutane..

I took pics of the dent in my face as well from the cortisone shot, I guess it could take several months to regenerate

when did this become an acne blog...

Clearly acne isnt something you can see on me in photos and with make up..

You can see more deep acne in this photo..

Anyways Im taking a new oral for the month leading up to the switch to accutane, its one Ive never tried, and for topical benz peroxide, 5%

The cyst on my face is more than gone, there is now a deep impression on my cheek where it used to be :( Hoping this is temporary, its never happened before..

FINALLY

I finally decided to quit the bullshit and start accutane! I have suffered with severe and cystic acne since I was 8 years old, YES 8! My school pic shows this, my first zit on the middle of my nose.  That same zit that would return in my twenties as a dime sized cyst that required coritisone injections.

I have suffered for so so long! Accutane is some serious biz..I never wanted to try it because of the possible side effects, even though I know it is THE ONLY drug that will work for me..I have done EVERYTHING.. it is also, nearly 100% of the time a "cure" for acne.
I went in for a cortisone injection today, wow, this thing was massive.

Im going to start blogging this journey with photos. I start accutane one month from today, I was required to take a pregnancy test today, and will at my next visit before starting. Damn if I was a boy I could start it today!

I took some photos of my skin today, looking pretty terrible AND pics of the MASSIVE cyst on my face, right before it imploded after a shot of cortisone, the difference is incredbile.

Jan 26- no make up, post period, not treating with anything

The massive cyct before injection

after injection about two hours

acne and scarring

I wonder how many times one person can hear  'I dont have those kind of feelings for you' from someone they were dating before they feel like a heaping pile of shit.
