Hello! I have been struggling with my skin for years now and decided early this year it was time to try accutane. The reason I didn't start sooner was all the blood work that needs to be done( I have a horrible phobia of needles) and the mental side effects. As of right now I am on a 30 mg dosage which is quite low. So, I only have some minor side effects that I mentioned in the video (I also have started to develop some retinoid induced eczema, but I'll show that in my next video.) I have always been super insecure about my skin and I'm currently trying to overcome it. Since this month is acne awareness month I have been watching a lot of people post pictures of their skin and acne journey. I have always covered my face in makeup, canceled plans, and shut people out because of how insecure I felt. Acne can be paralyzing, and I sometimes feel like it controls every aspect of my life. There are some people whose acne returns even after going on accutane. I feel like right now I need to learn to love and accept my skin as it is, so I don't live every waking moment of my life in fear that my skin will get bad again. I feel like documenting this and making it public will help me accept myself a little more and hopefully help someone who struggles with this as well.

Thank you for reading my little life rant, and feel free to leave comments about your skin journey as well. Watching other people post videos about things like this have always made me feel less alone😊
