Dd has always had bad skin. She’s tried a few things over the years which have worked for short periods then it went back to normal.
She's tried the pill a couple of times but always comes off it saying it made her feel “not herself” and didn’t completely work, albeit she never tries for very long.
Shes been under dermatology but they were useless and didn’t offer roaccutaine but just discharged her.
She is now 19 and not taking anything and is completely covered in spots.
She says she’s not bothered but she is and it affects her confidence and social interactions. I’m sure it will affect her job prospects too.
It looks red and inflamed, and she covers it with cheap makeup which just looks worse. She’s very sporty so obviously it gets flared up from that too, and it would be easier not to have to trowel on makeup.
What can I do? I have asked if she wants to try a different pill, or ask to be seen again in dermatology, but she can’t be bothered. I can’t arrange it for her.
im at a loss to know what to do, but I do know there must be something to try? She’s worried about taking meds because they reel off the side effects and it puts her off as she wants to be healthy. She has no idea what a massive affect it is having on her and gets annoyed if I mention it a lot so I have to bite my tongue a lot.
