Week 2

So I've been on Roaccutane for two weeks now. I think 'the initial breakout' is starting to happen as pimples are breaking out more frequently, mostly on my forehead. Some of them are large, red and sore :-(

My face and scalp is now feeling very itchy and irritated. It seems to be more irritated in the afternoon and evenings. I've been trying my best not to touch my face but it's proving difficult! My lips are continuing to dry out, but not majorly so.

The other thing I've noticed is that I often feel dehydrated, so I'm drinking plenty of water. At the very least 2 litres per day.

Mentally, I'm feeling quite insecure, but I know that it has to get worse before it gets better, so I'm keeping myself busy and am trying not to think about it too much.

Until next week...
