I've officially punched out on week 2 of Claravis- the generic to Accutane.
And it's picture day!
Today I went for a run, and for the first time in weeks didn't feel stinging, burning, raw skin as I started to sweat.
It used to just burn. Today it was completely calm.
I do have a few stops around my lower jaw- near my mouth on each side of my face.
A couple of white heads have popped up.
Before I was on accutane that would cause a chain reaction of redness, swelling, and volatile skin.
Now it's as simple as a whitehead. It's here, and soon it'll be gone without leaving a catastrophic skin eruption in it's path.
Using Neutrogena foaming cleanser, ground up sulfur spot treatment, and what's left of my tube of Duac topical.
Note to self: Ask for a new prescription.
Whether this is a good day, a good week, or the start of me never having to worry about constant acne face ever again, it feels good for once to be able to look in the mirror.
And it feels good to think that people that I see out aren't focusing in on my bad skin.
And it feels good to not have to obsessively worry during a breakout that I'm screwed for at least another week until it cools off.
Picture this: I'm thinking for once about how great my skin will look in six months, not how troubled I feel about it looking bad for the last 4 years.
