Poor ds2 has got his roaccutane prescription from the dermatology consultant today....along with warnings of dry skin, chapped lips, nosebleeds, dry eyes and joint pain .
He's 16 and has had horrendous acne for three or more years now, and it's making him utterly miserable - he has pushed for this for months, and the consultant himself said it was a fairly extreme case, so felt roaccutane was the best and most appropriate treatment. Sorry for sidetracking, but my mum thinks it's ridiculous that I've "put him on this awful drug" so I'm a bit defensive today!
Anyway, I've got some good moisturiser for his face, lip balm and artificial tears, and consultant says paracetamol will be fine in the event of joint pain, but while I was cleaning the shower I suddenly thought that a decent shower gel with lots of moisturiser might be a good idea too. The only one I can think of is Dove, and that's only because of all the adverts on tv, so I wondered if anyone here had any better ideas please?
I don't mind if it's a bit spendy - I just want him to feel ok.
