Day 6 : November 14 bring on the breakouts

Almost done with WEEK 1 and I'm having random painful little nagging breakouts all along my jawline and chin- same as usual.

I'm REALLY starting to peel. My lips are getting even more chapped.

All to be expected according to the Accutane Alum.

I also have a random pimple surprise on my forehead which NEVER happens for me.

After years of researching my personal acne causers I know my hormones (or more appropriately, lack there of) cause me to break out just along my lower face/and jaw.

Lower jawline breakouts can be associated with too much testosterone.

Makes sense.

Up until the last couple of months (exceptionally sad months- 3 pets died of random illnesses) I haven't cried for at least 2 years.

Before that you could conclude that I'm either a total badass OR I am lacking some of the estrogen that keeps us women on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster.

There are many hormonal issues I deal with (or lack there of)- which I'm completely sure have everything to do with my adult acne.

I haven't had a period in 3 years.

TMI? probably.

Surprise! That's about the same time Annie Acne's skin went from glossy and gorg to pimply and nodular; not 'tubular!', but lumply, bumpy, and shrek-like.
