It’s been seven days now since I started my new acne medication, and I thought I’d write a little status update. So far things seem to be going okay. I’m noticing that my skin is much drier than usual (which is good, because that’s what the meds are supposed to do), especially around my lips, though my forehead is also dry. I’m also kind of itchy, but that could be attributed to some mosquito bites
In order to combat the dryness, I’ve been using ample amounts of lip balm, as well as a moisturizer for my forehead. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep this under control so the medication can do it’s thing without making me too uncomfortable.
