Because I need to vent somewhere.
I'm under a dermatologist for acne. I have to try two different types of antibiotics first before he will consider giving me anything else.. fuck knows why, I've already been on three types from my GP throughout the years.
Started the antibiotics a couple of months ago, my skin was fine, a few little breakouts but nothing major. I woke up a week ago to two massive cystic spots on my chin and I'm not even due on. I now have two cystic spots on my jaw line and my neck and to top it all off I have a spot on the end of my nose. I don't know how bad that one is going to get yet but I feel self-conscious and don't want to go to work today looking like this.
The rest of my skin is like sandpaper, gone all dry and horrid so foundation isn't going on nicely like normal. I have no idea why this has happened and I've got to wait until the middle of Oct to see my derm again. I have noticed that when I get these outbreaks the skin with no spots still goes all dry and shitty, even though I haven't change my skin care routine.
How the fuck am I going to face people at work if that spot on my nose sticks out like a beacon? The chin and neck ones are bad enough.
It's unlikely I will get roaccutane anyway with my MH issues and slightly high cholesterol.
