JENN'S ACCUTANE JOURNAL

WEEK 4

Saturday Oct. 13 thru Friday Oct. 19, 2001

Okay this week has basically been about the same as last week. Most of my blackheads have virtually disappeared and I have about 3 pimples right now. It's exciting to be so clear and know it's only going to get better. Now all I have to worry about is taking care of the scarring which include tons of red spots (which I must add are disappearing nicely now that they can heal without new pimples forming on top of them all the time) and some pitted type scars, not icepick, but really small indentions almost - you can't see them with make-up on but I want my skin to be perfect when I'm done with this treatment! I figure I can fix those with that Gotu Kula stuff or a skin peel...but I still have a few months to worry about that.
Right now I just have to worry about taking my pills twice a day, since lately I've forgotten a few doses or taken them more then 12 hours apart...hopefully that doesn't matter too much.

My skin regime is still the same, although I have started to use more moisturizer (even in my ears!) because I'm all dried out which is actually kind of cool since I don't have to wash my hair everyday. :) Still haven't experienced any other side-effects other then the dryness although when I lie down at night my back hurts for a few seconds - but it's not like a real pain it's more just like sore feeling but like I said it only happens when I lie down and only lasts a couple of seconds. Other then that I'm really good and excited - one month down 3 and 1/2 to go!!
