ive now been on my second medication for a month and im feeling discouraged. my shoulder acne is back with a vengeance, ive gotten a few new pimples including a cystic one, and the acne scarring on my cheeks is still SO prevalent, i feel like it's gotten worse but that might be just 'cause im so emotional about this stuff lol. looking at photos from before meds i cant deny that my skin has cleared up an insane amount, but like, i just wish it would be fully cured. the scarring on my cheeks is so severe, my dermatologist very bluntly was like "oh yeah thats so bad" ahsksnhd. having severe acne just sucks so hard, im so self conscious and emotional about it. cry cry cry
but as emotional and dramatic as i am about it, i have been looking at old photos from before getting treated and the improvement is so significant and it has brought a lot of joy back to my life to have clearer skin. mayhaps ill share some b4 and after photos lol, but photos of me without makeup + a filter are basically non existent
