Decision taken...

After so much thinking and after reading the very dangerous side effects of Isotetrinol ( Accutane ) I have decided not to risk my health and won't be taking this cure for my acne.

I asked the doctor for another option, I got today a  topic cream that I will apply on my affected parts every night. I read also the side effects: cracking, redness, dry skin, itching, stigning... I will have to deal with those but at least this cream's side effects are not going to destroy my liver or intestines.

Hopefully this cream will help me, Im tired of my inflamated red chin  with many white spots...arghhh...but in the end...it's just acne...there are many more accute sicknesses...and I should be thankful...yes...Linda....thankful!

However, I am not going to deny that acne attacks not only your outside but your inside...your self-esteem...your mood.. and even lead to depression...

Well...I'll write about if the cream is working or not. I am not yet willing to put a picture...it's just too embarrasing :( sorry!

Maybe there will be some "before and after" pictures...

See you later...coming up next: recipe time!

Decisions

The ones that know me, have seen that I have acne, yes, not only normal acne but rosacea acne, my brother and dad had it too so i guess it is in our genes.

Lately, my acne has started to get worse and it is non-stop specially around my chin area. Acne is a very disturbing disease, not only affects you in the physical part but also affects your self-esteem and even causes you depression.

So I needed to do something about it, for 2 years ago I got some medication, worked for a little while but after stopping the pills it came again :(

So I went to the dermatologist last week and we will start the strong medication, the name is Isotretinol or something like that....but I have mixed thoughts:

-Will It really help? ( I have PCO as well...so it could be my acne is caused by it too )
-Will it destroy my liver?

My brother took the medication for 6 months, and it helped him.

Is there any of you who have taken this medicine, did it help? Did you get some health problems after that?

I'm getting so stressed :( 

Meanwhile, I will just cover my horrible face with makeup.
