Hi everyone! Sorry I missed yesterday's post, I was busy. Symptoms over the last two days have become worse. Yesterday I was working outside in the yard and got incredibly dry, burning eyes. It was so bad at one point that I wanted to pull my eye balls out! I have also developed dandruff and an itchy scalp which sucks. I also had the sunburned feeling again all day.
Today I woke up to drier skin. It has started peeling around my nose, on my forehead and near my temples. Ugh! It looks terrible even with tinted moisturizer. Oh well. It will be worth it in the end. My lips are drier than normal but not peeling yet. I have switched from Carmex (it made my lips feel waxy) to Aquaphor. I learned that the camphor and menthol in medicated lip balm make you lips feel good for a short while but actually dry your lips out more in the long run.
Today at the drug store I bought some dandruff shampoo (Head and Shoulders Itchy Scalp Relief), eye drops, waterproof mascara (because I'll be putting eye drops in so much), and the Aquaphor.
I've been applying sunscreen on my face daily so that I don't burn. It's been overcast but it can still burn you.
I have been getting mild headaches every day but I forgot to buy Advil or Tylenol today. I will suffer through for now. I also was extremely tired again last night and had vivid dreams again. Not sure if this is from the Isotretinoin or not.
I'll update again soon!
