Im 25yr 200lbs, got on it June5th, starting with 20mg ED before sleep. Experienced extremely chapped lips 1st week or so. Then improved to dry lips, put on chap stick throughout the day to handle it. Havent seen any improvement in my skin. SO starting last week 25July, I bumped up to 40mg & havent noticed any increased side effects...
Is it normal not to see any improvement in skin for VERY severe acne until a few months or so?
I got bad acne on my back, chest, lower abs(use benzoyl peroxide 2.5% religiously on my face to make sure it is almost perfectly clear) . Just last week started to breakout with large cysts/boils under my armpits( this happens 1 or 2x a year, usually from a food like peanut butter or pork, this time pork, buy pork cuz its super cheap, but wont do it anymore) The cyst was so bad/huge on one side, I couldnt move my arm in certain motions without experiencing extreme stinging sensation, finally drained the pus out of it 2 days ago.
Should I have kept my original dosage at 20mg for a longer period or bump it to 40mg or bump it more til I see where I start to see increased side effects and bring it down little from that spot?
Any input/advice is greatly appreciated!
