So it's been a week since I completed the course of Erythromycin which I was taking to clear up the acne and folliculitis that flared-up on my face and all over my scalp. I am pleased to say that my skin hasn't broken out into acne and folliculitis, although I am starting to get some itchy areas here and there on my scalp. Normally where an area gets itchy, it is a precursor to a spot of folliculitis appearing, although it hasn't happened (fingers crossed!). The only thing is I've noticed just one very tiny spot appear on the top of my scalp, but it seems under control.
On a more general level, I feel that the level of greasiness of my scalp and forehead have very marginally increased, although that could be because of the warm weather. My lips and facial skin particular around the mouth can still get dry, so I am continuing to apply moisturiser and lip balm to soften the areas twice a day.
I am due next weekend for a fasting blood test to see how my body is coping with the Roaccutane. Following that will be a follow-up with my skin specialist to see whether an increase in dosage of Roaccutane to twice daily is a possibility.
Until next time, I hope the daily dose of Roaccutane continues to do its job by keeping the scalp acne and folliculitis away!
