As for results for the week, things are going better with the breakout. My dermatologist said that it's not uncommon for people to breakout throughout the duration of the treatment, so I'm not too worried. It's not the breakouts so much as the red marks they leave behind. My face is virtually clear of ance, but I have tons of red marks from four years of damage. But, those should go away with time.
My regimine has pretty much stayed the same. I am still taking 80 mg of Accutane a day. I wash with Cetaphil at night and in the morning, and it really does seem to help keep my face from the infamous flakes! And, I still use the Avon Day and Night Creams, which I highly recommend. I found out that they are both non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic. Now, if you're like me, you have no idea what those mean, but basically it doesn't clog pores or cause acne, so it is ok to put on the face. That's a great thing, because the Day Cream is SPF 15.
As for the side effects, nothing has really changed. I don't have dry skin on my arms anymore, thanks to the Avon creams. And, I actually didn't get a bloody nose this week which is a definite plus! Other than that, I have nothing new to report on that issue.
I guess that's all for this weeks edition. I realize that it is pretty short, but I really didn't have too much going on this week. Be sure to check back next week for more on Week 9! Until then, take care of yourselves and your faces!
