It's been just over 2 weeks since I finished my second course of Roaccutane and in general my scalp and skin condition has been stable. There hasn't been any violent flare-ups of folliculitis on my scalp nor has there been an increase in greasiness of my scalp or facial skin.
I did however notice what felt like a spot of folliculitis developing on the top of my scalp as I was washing my hair yesterday as the area was a little sensitive.
The dermatitis on the back of my hands seem to have almost gone with a few rough scales here and there but they're hardly noticeable. This is probably because the warm weather has come about and I've started to use cooler water to wash my hands and to shower.
I also noticed I don't have to put the extra layer of moisturiser on my face each night in order for my skin to not feel and look dry anymore. I do however still need to apply lip balm after meals as my lips do still get quite dry.
My nosebleeds have also ceased over the past week and a half which is fantastic, but I am still being very gentle with my nose, in that I'm not blowing it and trying my best not to sneeze where I can which is a challenge what with the perfect hayfever conditions recently.
What's been particularly interesting though is that I don't feel depressed anymore. I don't feel like normal daily activities or work are a challenge that required a lot of emotional and physical energy to get done like I did towards the end of my Roaccutane course. Could it really have been the Roaccutane causing my depressed feelings?
