I went to the dermatologist on Monday for my monthly check up and to see how the treatment is going, AND get prescribed month 2
Each month you have to go for blood work to check your Triglecerides/ Lipids because the drug can have an effect on your cholesterol. (and if your female.. you have to go for your monthly pregnancy blood test before you get prescribed your next month's treatment)
My bloodwork came back normal with no changes.. so the 20mg of Isotrentenoin was handled well by my body.
My month 2 prescription went up to 40 MG.
so more dry lips (i just started to get used to it and it wasnt so annoying anymore) but its about to get worse,.. and the doctor said potential dry eyes and nose.
I will be starting my 1st 10-day pack @ 40MG tomorrow.
within the first month I have noticed differences in my breakouts.. definitely have been more breakouts but i am not sure if it was my "initial" breakout you can get from going on this medicine.. it wasnt as bad as i was expecting.. but i still have 4 months to go. so only time will tell..
below are my first month pictures:
