Day 5: Oh, what the hell


My right side of my face has a pulse. Oh what the hell.

One thing I can't wait to leave in annie acne's past life : the pain that comes with a breakout.

Swelling, tenderness. When the pimple hurts you know it will be days until it's healed.
Days, possible additional little breakouts near the source breakout, if you're lucky that will include whiteheads that are too unsightly to cover with foundation.

So your choice becomes:

a. pop it therefore leaving that spot raw and red- and punching your one way ticket to scarring- or so my derm tells me

b. ignore it, and let that big 'ole whitehead shine on through your makeup.

Both lovely options.

The Accutane IS starting to kick in. I can tell because my lips are chapping, and before the peeling sets in, they're sort of swollen.

Accutane and I are in our honeymoon phase.

The mild lip swelling is a side effect I don't mind . Nobody ever complained about Angie's gorgeous pout.
Of course Angie doesn't have an acne face. I (for now) do.
Come to think of it.. there are a few differences between us.
Not the least of which I'm not supporting a small international soccer team.
