In Reply to: Acne scarring,self esteem and Roaccutane!!....Does it make us unattractive to girls? posted by Darren on July 23, 2002 at 14:37:53:
Hi,
Like you, I suffer from acne and am on a course of Roaccutane. Being a girl I'm lucky that I can wear make up (Oil-free of course!) to cover whatever blemishes I may have. Mmy acne is really clearing up. The only problem is that I have suffered from painful side affects. My face is really dry and sore. Its particularly hard becuase I was a model, and I'm always under pressure from my management to increase my dosage so that I work again. But it just hurts so much! On what I call "flaky days" I just want to stay at home and not see anyone.
So i understand what you are feeling. But you just got to think as I do- its acne! So what!?! In Ethiopia- people are starving to death- at least I can do something about my condition- and it WILL go!!!!!!!
Best wishes,
Leila x
