So I went away for a short break to Windsor with my boyfriend and his parents, and had a lovely time :) however, over the weekend I had a couple of things that were bothering me symptom-wise.
Firstly, on Friday night, I went out with my closest friends, and found myself feeling really low at the beginning of the evening - I had that feeling in my chest that you get when something has gone wrong? Well nothing was wrong, so I knew it was Roaccutane...
Anyway I told my friends about it (I was with my best who was the one who recommended it to me) and they were really understanding and wonderful :) then they managed to turn it around and I had a fantastic evening and felt great by the end of it!
I also had the same thing in Windsor - I didn't feel down the whole time because of my wonderful boyfriend making me laugh the whole time :) I'm a very lucky lady.
It's surprising that I was so high-spirited when you have hands like mine at the moment... the photo below will help you understand this...! The dryness has got pretty bad, but the sensitivity is what was the worst - I applied my Clinique hand cream, and Elizabeth Arden 8-hour hand cream (on different occasions) and both of them left my hands extremely inflamed, it almost started to look like a rash!
This isn't even it at its worst, and it's been burning all weekend. Now that I'm home and I have all of my products to choose from, I've slapped on some Sudocrem and it seems to be feeling okay - feels quite thick and sticky, but anyone who has used Sudocrem before will know that that's normal!
It seems to be calming the redness and burning, but not helping the dryness...I'll have to keep searching for the perfect hand cream!! I've also noticed rashes up my arms as well, which I assume is also related to Roaccutane, and not just random rashes!
Anyway :) better unpack!
