How it started. How it is going .
The day i went to the dermatologist and i was prescribed oratane . Remember with oratane , everything gets worse before it gets better . All of this rash developed into acne as I proceeded with the treatment.
My doctor recommended i pair my treatment with a chemical peel each month , however i wasnt happy with the results so after the first month I decided i’m not doing it anymore.
As weeks and months went by , the acne became dry , peeled off and i had less breakouts .
Patience , patience , patience !
The difference is visible innit 🥺
This was about 4 months into my treatment.
My confidence was making a come back chiiile 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Month 6 . The final month 🎉
I had alot of hyperpigmentation, was abit lighter than my normal complexion , dry skin obviously , but i was excited to finish my treatment more than anything really . It was a tough 6 months of taking in alot of pills daily . 😔
My acne did a number on my self esteem this year . It was a never ending cycle of waking up with more breakouts , a bleeding face and pain on pain . Acne is so damaging i will not even wish it on my worst enemy.
My skin is not yet perfect , i have a few cysts on the right cheek that i need to get rid of , my hyperpigmentation has gotten much better since my last pill but one thing about oratane , even after the treatment you will see improvements . 🌸
Be kind to people struggling with acne . My family and friends have been there through and through and wow man , I’m so so grateful i went through all of this during lockdown because i doubt i would have made it if life was ‘ normal ‘ 🥺
Because i had severe acne , my dermatologist gave me the dose of 70mg , each month .
Depending on your acne you dose may be slightly lower than mine .
Dermatologist: dr Newaj , kempton park . ❤️

While i was on treatment i used the dove bar soap to wash my face , sunscreen to moisturize and in the night time i used the culticura ointment .
