Week 14

So i have 2 more weeks left of my treatment. I am so looking forward to finishing it now. My face got really red and blotchy again on wednesday. This is me will full make up on! When i left the house in the morning my face was fine but at lunch time i noticed my face felt really hot and when i went to the loo i saw my face was really red.
My make up must of worn off because it looks like i dont have any on!


My skin has been so dry the past couple of weeks. Not so much on my face but my legs and arms. I have wee patches of ezema all over my legs and a few on my arms. The patches are not very big maybe 1cm but there are quite a lot of them. These are yhe biggest patches. I have been putting diprobase on regulary in hope they clear up! 

I was a little careless and managed to get sun burnt! When i am out in the garden at nursery i usually make sure the kids and i have cream on. I forgot to put some on in the morning as it was such a busy day! I will try and stay inside as much as posible for the next few days so my skin can heel. And make sure i put plenty of cream on.

End of Month 3 of Roaccutane


So I have reached the end of month number 3 of my Roaccutane treatment. I am feeling pretty good about it and looking forward to finishing my final month. I have been extremely lucky when it comes to side effects all I have had is dry skin and tiredness. My lips are still really dry and are peeling. I got told to try Fleitol  lip balm and wow it is so good. I really wish I had discovered it at the beginning of my treatment. I will be using it in the winter when my lips can get really dry.
In the middle of month 3 both sides of my face became really red and small red spots appeared, it was really painful even putting moisturiser on. I am really not sure what caused it. I had been out in the sun a couple of days before and I had just started wearing Simple-Kind to skin + protecting moisturiser SPF 30. I stopped using the cream which is a pity as it's twice the SPF of my normal moisturiser and since its now coming into summer I need that extra protection. Once the spots had cleared up my skin was really dry, so I put my No.7 hydrating mask on 3 or 4 nights in a row.

Rash on left cheek.
Right cheek
This was my face a few days after the spots appeared.
My lips have been peeling quite a bit and are quite red at the side.
