They’re in order: when I first started, 1.5 months later (when it was at its worst), and the last two is after 3 months.
My acne appeared after I went through an extremely stressful period in my life. I started Accutane after about a month of dealing with acne.
I’m a skin picker, so I used to pick at it every day. I was really scared it would leave hyperpigmentation or ice-pick scars, but thankfully it didn’t leave any scars at all. Now my skin is so smooth and poreless that I’ve stopped this habit because there’s simply nothing to pick at. I hope my experience can reassure other skin pickers who struggle to hold back.
Side effects I’ve noticed so far: swollen/dry lips, sore and dry eyes, frequent nose bleeds, stomach aches and joint pain.
Down side : can't do sports (my doctor recommended not to since my achilles tendon was hurting badly)
Upside : clean hair all the time, clear skin, never ending confidence, and I can go on.
