Absorica Updates

So I haven't updated as frequently and I'm sorry :( But I'm not sure if anyone reads this either

But here's the last 3 photo sets I've taken.


 Day 58: Minor breakouts and some major red spots. I was hoping these were spots but nope hyper pigmentation or scarring. Derm said there's no way to know yet.
Day 68: Clear day! I still have the red spots but no face acne! Still getting minor breakouts on my back. Derm says it could just be because it's freaking hot and it doesn't look like the acne I had before. She said I could spot treat my back with Benzoyl Peroxide. 

Day 84: Still clear and my scarring or red spots are less noticeable, I had 2 small spots come up right before my period and that was it. Right now my face still looks like this.


My side effects have kicked in now. While my face is still not super dry, my arms are. I'm on a corticosteroid for the eczema patches now and it's making it feel much better. Also I can get really bad tailbone pain now that can make my lower back, hips and thighs hurt very much. The old solution is to lower my dosage but I only have 2 months left at 60 mg and I can tough it out. It's not too terrible and massages help. Oh! and ingrown toenails are a thing on accutane, go figure. One seems better now and the other just hurts randomly. gross. Looking forward to this side effect going away most of all.  I'm VERY happy with the way things are going though.
