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
Of all the times I've seen photos you, I never realized there was anything wrong with your skin. I can't believe the difference the shot made! Obviously that works but it would be hard to endure a needle and a Dr's appt to deal :( I've heard mixed reviews about Acutane, but all medicines carry risk and if this prevents you from having to deal with those painful cystic zits and the scarring, then some side effects may be worth it. Good luck! I can't wait to see your results!
ReplyDeleteits very liberating to show pics, I kinda wish I had the balls to say..post them on facebook..cuz your right, behind the make up and in photos, THANK god you cant really tell i have such horrible acne. I have been researching accutane for years, Im pretty scared to do it, but its TIME. What if I make it thru fine, and get to be DONE with this shit!!! My skin is really a hot hot mess...and the shot is amazing, but its really only the last resort for when a cyst is completely out of control like this one was
