Day 4 of Accutane- The beginning of symptoms

Hi everyone!  So today is Day 4 of my isotretinoin treatment and the symptoms are slowly beginning to show.  My face and lips felt like I had a mild sun burn or like I was wind chapped but it was tolerable.  I also noticed my emotions seemed to be heightened, not necessarily in a bad way.  I found myself brought to tears if there was something sad on tv.  That is not abnormal for me but it did seem to be more intense that usual. 

The skin on my body hasn't begun to dry out but my forehead and the skin around my nose is getting slightly flaky and my cheeks were a little red.  Also, my scalp is beginning to get itchy!  That sucks but all-in-all it has been tolerable so far, though I am expecting things to get worse soon.  No new breakouts to speak of but I do have quite a few small black heads on my nose.  Those may have been there before and I just didn't notice.....

No body aches to speak of but I've been working out harder than normal so my muscles already hurt
