It has been some time since I’ve updated this blog, and thanks for the many concerned readers who shared their Roaccutane experience with me
I went for my 1st follow up visit to the doctor some time last week, and told him that my acne are still popping out non stop. He showed me a photo which he took of my skin condition when I first went to him, and pointed out that the acne I have now are flatter and smaller than the previous ones. He also said that Roaccutane is something to be taken on a longer term, and I will have to pull through the whole course if I want to see the effects, giving up now will just put my previous efforts to waste.
Well, I must say that I felt much better after speaking to him, it’s not easy to be a doctor, sometimes you have to be a good counselors too, especially when you meet impatient patients like me ^_^”
I also mentioned to him regarding the dryness of my skin, and he prescribed a Physiogel Al Cream for me which is to act as a moisturizer. According to the label, it is an innovative, hypoallergenic, moisturizing cream formulated to nourish dry skin, and is beneficial in regenerating the skin protective barrier. Containing PEA in a physiological lipids base that can protect the skin against free radicals, it’s supposedly useful in countering the ageing process as well.
Hah, so the cream will double up as an anti-ageing cream as well? That’s killing two birds with one stone
Right now I’m still facing the acne problem, but I’m trying to take less notice of it. I also change my skin care and makeup routine to as light weight as possible, allowing the skin to have more room to breathe. We’ll see if all these efforts are worthwhile soon
