My Accutane Journal
Week Seven: March 16th-22nd, 2003
Hey hey!  Sorry so late, but I've been sooooo busy with school.  This text has been sitting around on my computer forever, just never took the time to put it up. 

Well, this week has been another hell-filled week.  A few spots that were JUST about healed (after weeks of scabbiness) have decided to start being under the skin things again.  How ridiculous is this?  It's like, last time, all of whatever was under there didn't come out, so now it has to resurface...grrr.  My face is still peeling off in chunks, and believe me, I moisturize.  I'm using glaxal base cream for the tough spots (nose, chin, and forehead)  and the lotion for the rest of the face and body.  It really blows.  I have these great rashes on my arms that are itchy and hideous.  I don't know what to do really...I mean, how much moisturiser can you possibly put on?  I used some aloe vera straight from the plant on my nose tonight, so hopefully it will start healing up.  It is VERY cracked, and peeling, not to mention red as hell. Worse than a sunburn now.  I think this extra dryness is coming from stopping the vitamin E for a week because I left it at home.  Ugh, remind me to never do that again.  I finished my second whole tube of Labello lip stuff this week...it's funny...before Accutane, I never ever finished an entire chapstick or anything before I lost it or it rotted, but now I've finished two.  My lips are getting better...although I doubt they'll ever be the same again.  Thankfully, I have a doc appointment on Monday, so maybe he'll have some help to offer...though he is a moron...oh well, that's it for now...
Lots of love,
~Katie
