Dealing with incredibly painful acne while starting my 30-day waiting period is torturous
A few days ago my derm finally suggested I go on accutane for my acne. I'm 25, never had acne before last year and it ballooned into incredibly painful and deep cystic acne. its to the point that if i smile, it hurts. i didn't realize i would have to wait 30 days until starting treatment. worst part is that my derm had me stop all other treatment after the visit. my mental state has took a hit knowing i have to go 30 days without any kind of treatment, it's only been 4 days since stopping and my skin is looking even worse. its incredibly frustrating. i know that the first month(?) of accutane will probably be rough and that my mental state (diagnosed with depression years ago) will also possibly get worse, but i can't imagine it being anythign as bad as now. idk how i am supposed to handle a whole month before i can do anything... it hurts so bad and i just want it gone
