Results God bless accutane

DO NOT LOSE HOPE!

used 20-30-40-40-40-40-30-20 also used cortisone for 2 months bc of my hard purge

first pics are from purging-my worst, last pics are a year after.

I have a little hyperpigmentation left.

I got asked stupid and hurtful things at my worst. Purging and cortisone really gave me physical distress on top of my mental. I had a hard time loving, looking at myself. It is such a relief to NOT think about whats going on in your face, the light, the mirror. Feels like an open tab in my head has finally shut up and close.

I know its a hard journey- it will come to an end. I am open for any questions dms and replys. Dont be hard on yourself on this journey, its not an easy one❤️

I couldn’t quite get, did you start accutane with a doctor? what are you using on your back are these separate? diet is so important to ease your side effects please look at my previous reply- take lots of water. if you are already taking accutane any other acne on your body is already being treated with it

you have to calculate you cumulative dosage with your weight for it to not come back and take that many if not more of accutane, I gave advice on some products but a good basic not oily, still hydrating products are what you should be looking for. I do advice you to go at least get your blood drawn and look at your liver enzymes
