Day 21

Forehead is slightly better but its still the same. One side of my forehead still has angry red acne/pimples. My cheeks however, are getting worse and worse. I can feel acne/pimples surfacing, it is sore.

My lips aren't that dry as I thought it would be. However, my face feels 'tight'. Not dry. Maybe cos I'm only on 20mg.

Day 19

Yup. Same breakouts as Day-18 but even worse? How can it be..... I remember when I mentioned on Day-17 that I had slight breakouts on my lower jaw and lower cheek area? Well, both sides (left and right of my face) have become angry big acne/pimples. This morning, one of them on my jaw didn't have a white head and when I came home, it had a white head. How embarrassing, talking to people who stares at your acne/pimples/whiteheads/whatnots. Sigh.

Day 18

The worst 'initial breakout' ever. I believe it's going to get even more worse. Big sighs. My family members told me to stop wearing makeup because it won't cover up my acne/pimples on my face. People will still see my flaws but I just can't help it but to wear makeup because I have no choice. It somewhat makes me feel better when I cover it up, even if it does look cakey on my face.

I wish I had perfect skin that didn't need to be covered up by makeup. I wish I can just go out of my house without having to worry what people will think about my skin.

Tired of wearing makeup to cover my face. I can't wait till this 'initial breakout' is over but I don't see it coming soon because when I wash my face, I feel all these bumps coming to surface on my cheeks (which I hardly get acne/pimples) and that is what I felt for my lower jaw and now I'm experiencing big angry acne/pimples on my lower jaw. Argh. Acne/pimples. :(

I wish I can just stay at home and never go out but I have uni. Also, I feel so disgusted at myself when I see the mirror and I feel 'sorry' for the guy who I like and the guy who likes me because of the way I look. Argh.

Back to studying.

P.S - Having a splitting headache now, not sure if its related to Oratane or not.

Day 15

More breakouts...................breakouts from yesterday, became bigger. I couldn't stand it cos it hurts. I popped a few..................

My lips are DRY now. I just cracked my lips and it bled. I just hope my skin will clear soon but it seems impossible, because I feel like my whole face is pimply. You know, washing your face, its sore and really bumpy. That's when you know, your going to have a pimple. Well, that's what my whole face feels like.

I had an acquaintance from uni asked me, 'what happened to your forehead?'. I'm not hurt, neither am I offended. I just wish people who are curious should just keep it to themselves. It was hard explaining that I was in a medication called 'Oratane'.

Aside from that, my face is getting WORSE when I didn't think it would get any worse, it DID.
