I likely suffer from a case of body dysmorphia. I can't help but stare passing (especially attractive) females down, analyzing every part of their appearance and viciously comparing myself.
After a break down about my horrendous facial skin issues, I made the decision to order a few tubes of .05% Tretoin (more commonly referred to as that Retin A stuff) from one of my trusty, um, illegalish online pharmacies. Hey, they send me a few Viagra samples with each purchase...how can I resist?
I googled the stuff for hours. I certainly do not want to make the mistake I made in 7th grade when I was prescribed this stuff and burned the hell out of my sensitive face. I am far to vain for that-although I realize I will experience some peeling, redness, extra zit buddies, and sun sensitivity. I vow to not allow my alcoholic brain let me over-do it (if some is good, more is better!!...This clearly is not the case with Retin A).
My best friend Facebook messaged me yesterday telling me her face looks like a "supreme pizza". I asked her "why are we so pretty but have skin issues?"
I have been using the stuff for a week, every other night, applying a teeny tiny amount 30 minutes after I wash my face. My face is tighter and peeling a bit around my jawline and I have a few new annoying zits, but I am also experienced hormonal rage right now due to the soon arrival of my period. I am anticipating a major atomic skin attack in a week or so, but I don't think anything can be worse than the morbid breakouts and scabs I experienced when I was getting high. Ever seen a meth addicts face on tv? My favorite friend heroin did the same thing to me. Pick, pick, pick!
