It's the eve of a trip to the Dermatologist's Office. A little progress check.
Things are happening with my skin right now. Big things. My skin hasn't produced a pimple in nearly a week, something that hasn't happened for me in nearly 1 year.
But as I'm writing this I'm knocking on wood and crossing my fingers, toes, and eyes.
I'm of the belief that if you say it out loud, it could inevitably go downhill.
This has happened to me in job searches, house purchases, and always in issues dealing with my skin.
For years I would go into the Dermatologist once every 3 months. They'd swap prescriptions/ add a dosage/ add another tube of paste.
Tell me to put on my face morning and night, or morning or night- hard to keep track.
I'd go to bed feeling like I had a plasticky, sticky thick mess on my mug.
Here's why I'm so passionate about making sure other people know their acne treatment options.
All those Dermatologists had me convinced that just one more of this, or a little bit of that would clear my skin, they'd wean me off of it, and I'd be on my merry way.
That does not work for everyone.
Years of antibiotics is actually really dangerous. I would know, I was on them for about 3 years straight.
People need to know they have options, and preferably before their face is too pock marked to be corrected.
