update

hi babies! from my previous post, just wanted to share the improvement of my skin since the allergic reaction and starting prednisone. i am on day 5 of prednisone 40 mg, then ill take 30mg 7 days, then 20mg 7 days and blah blah. my skin has looked the best it’s ever looked i feel like, i can actually see MY SKIN NOW. my old beautiful skin that was hidden for months. i am still getting a little nauseous from the prednisone but taking medication to help with that. prednisone has been a life savor. i also saw a lot of you confused why i am only taking 10mg accutane when i took 20 at first. i am going on a cruise the end of march and dont have enough supply to last me til april 1, and they dont want to risk my window being missed. so i am doing 10 mg until 13 days before my appt (april 1) and then upping it back to 20mg. then getting a higher dose when i go to my appt. the cerave healing ointment has also been my holy grail. also switched to cetaphil gentle cleanser based off what you guys have said. i also want to make it clear that i do not have “cystic acne” it is severe inflammatory and scarring rosacea. PYODERMA FACIALE. it is super rare but very much like cystic acne. also want to mention that the prednisone in the past didn’t work because i was on too low of a dose for the type of skin “disease”/disorder i have. love you all and will keep you updated as time goes on!!
