hi everyone, i haven't been around for awhile, but i need to be....i have been picking pretty bad lately, and the worse it gets, it gets even more because i hide in my house which only makes it way more easy to continue the damage since i have nothing else to do or think about. i finally started accutane last week. and a very low dose, i have no side effects, but no improvment either i know i better be patient its only been a week. i had some success taking most of the mirrors out of my house, i still have one, but most of my picking it because i can FEEL the blemish there- as in it's painful and i feel the need to get the stuff out to relieve the pain- which it does, and it also heals faster then. my face has gotten so bad that i no longer need to sit and study my face to find something to pick at. there are plenty of ready-to-pop blemishes. they just keep coming. one of the worst things that happens is when i try to wait it out, and i do a couple days, but then the bump it still prominantly there so i finally try to get the crap out by squeezing the heck outta it, and its too late, then i jut make a huge booboo where the healing, almost not red at all bump was. has this happened to anyone else- like if you wait too long to pop it, it just becomes a hard bump yuo cannot pop?? i know its gross, this cycle never ends, its probably the worst summer ever, haven't been able to go swimming cuz God forbid someone see me without makeup. heck even with makeup i look rediculous. sorry bout the rant, anyway i hope everyone is doing well. i am glad to be back here for support it really does help, take care
