Hey yeah curlies!
I am back as I've promised to blog about an update with the current medication that my dermatologist has given me. I have finished taking doxycycline for the whole 7 days.
Down below are the photos of my face after doxycycline:
GRAPHIC WARNING: KIND OF GROSS..SORRY!
As for the results, I've seen a significant change with my skin. Hooray to that! The swollen cystic acne around my cheeks and down my neck flattened out in just 2 days of taking doxycycline. My breakout literally have calmed down altogether. I felt no pain and itchiness at all which I've been complaining about before going for a check up. I could already go out without a need for a mask and just wear some face powder on to cover the intense scars if need be. Somehow, I was so happy with this result! And it went on until the seventh day.
Now that I'm off doxycycline, I have noticed two cystic pimples on my neck and right below my left jawline appeared. It's painful to touch but since I still keep using the differin gel and the cleocin-T as my topical treatments, they calmed down and flattened out after 2 days which is today. This I believe must be the 'initial purge' as they say after being off the oral antibiotic. However, I am feeling positive that my skin is slowly healing for good. I just need to continue incorporating these two other topical solutions into my skin care routine. I am afraid that my skin will start breaking out again if I stopped using them. Drastic change with my skin is such a joy to see after battling with adult acne for almost a year now. Be updating you guys soon after quite a bit of time to see how my skin is healing. Praying so!
