I go to the doctor and get put on medicine that dries out my skin so bad that it becomes inflamed and incredibly itchy. I scratched my nose through my mask today, and got a bloody nose during my work shift. I really hope this shit goes away before my brother's wedding, or I might not have the self esteem to even show up.
Have you experimented with your diet at all? I still suffer with acne, but used to have it a lot worse, bad enough to be put on accutane which is what I'm assuming you're on. Accutane certainly helped with the acne, but I still suffered some throughout my entire time on it but through experimenting with my diet I was able to improve further and after getting off accutane I've still had quite a bit of success. I did try healthy eating for a while before even getting on accutane, but eventually learned even meat (at least some meats) seems to cause it for me (especially chicken, and even eggs are a big cause for me). Not saying to give up meat, but if you haven't already I would recommend giving up all junk foods as junk foods seem to universally worsen acne in people but gets different for everyone past that (things like whey protein can also be a big problem). Past diet I assume you also wash your face and moisturize plenty with a non-comedogenic moisturizer? And I feel you on the bloody nose, I had a few bloody noses while on accutane but mostly just consistently had dried blood up inside my nose
