heyyy...i'm a 17 year old girl, i've had spots since i was about 12...but within the past 2 years it's gotten worse and worse...for the past 3 years i've been on anti biotics...the pill, been precripted so many creams and lotions but all didnt work..or would work for a month then stop. The thing that gets to me the most is all my friends have beautiful clear skin or get the odd one now and again and MOAN about it infront of me!....I have to take makeup with me everywhere to cover up..i'd love to just be able to walk out of the house make up free, also im going on holiday this yr with friends so i'll be concsious all the time...my friends say my skins not too bad but i know they're just tryin to make me feel better!..My doctor referred me to a dermotologist who has given me 3 weeks to decide if i want to try roaccutane, at 1st a was fustrasted as i jst wanted it..bnut having searched the internet i realise how serious the side effects can be, im scared that my mood will change..im a very happy outgoing person i dont want to change..im scared to have such dry skin & nose bleeds, dry eyes, hair loss, mood swings, sad thoughts etc etc...and i sit and think all this i could go through because of acne/spots!?!?!? its not fair!! acne stops u feeling confident and being yourself!!....i think roaccutane is worth a try but im terrified of its effects!
Has anyone got any advice for me?? i would appricate it sooo much!
