I didn’t want to take any pictures of myself today let alone post this because of the massive ZIT on my forehead and I know we all have been there at one point or another and the only reason I kinda care is because I used to have the worst acne in the world and I went through a lot of shit to get rid of it. . I was on 22 different acne medications from creams to pills and everything in between. My doctor finally decided to put me on accutane and the reason that doctors make this a last resort is because it’s usually used to treat some types on cancers and it’s very hard on the body especially your liver and kidneys. . I needed blood tests and urine tests once a month and had to go through all of this for 6 months. I could wax my eyebrows because all of my skin would come off of my face. I was so dry my lips were constantly cracked and bleeding and it was a really hard 6 months but it was so worth it. After taking that medication my acne was cured and I no longer looked like someone has constantly beaten me up. . So thankful for my dermatologist and thankful that I only have one ZIT pop up every once in a while. . . . #acnesurvivor #acnescars #acnetreatment #toques #survivors #skincaretips (at Halifax, Nova Scotia)
