Accutane Day 1: The Beginning

Alright, so today marks my first day of Accutane, and of course I feel as if I should give you some background info. I've been breaking out ever since I was 12 really and of course my skin has had its ups and downs throughout the years, but no matter what I tried, it never went away! Every OTC product, higher end stuff (Proactive, Murad, Clinique), and even 2 prescription medicines. And now my dermatologist and I are at the end of our ropes and decided it was time for the biggie. Accutane. Now I've been offered Accutane 2 years ago whenever one of my breakouts lead to a staph infection, but I denied the offer because I was scared of all those horrific stories that everyone heard. But I guess I've decided to grow a pair and try this stuff. Down below you'll see pictures of my left and right side of my face where my acne is at it's worse. Even with the unforgiving flash, most of the smaller blemishes like the whiteheads and blackheads don't show up in the picture. And you know, I had to add a selfie to this collection, just for good measure. ;) so I guess that's it for now, I'll try to blog this whenever I notice a change in my face or in my body in general, but until then, see you guys later.
