    Exclamation I have a problem

    I've been on my acne med. for about a month. Due to this...not only are my lips extremly dry, but down there has gotten as DRY as a cardboard. I get excited but my natural juices don't flow like they're suppose to. This is temporary though. Thank goodness, but man it makes f*ckin' complicated.

    Has anyone ever have/had this problem?

    I was on acutane for awhile and had the same issues! It clears up your skin, but MAN does it dry you out...EVERYWHERE. Just drink a ton of water (TON!!!!) and use lots of lotion on your entire body to try and lock in moisture where you can. As for "down there," I didn't have a boyfriend at the time and so did really have that problem...but I would think that using some lubricant (KY, Astroglide, whatever) will help out temporarily until you've graduated from the super-drying stuff. It will get better!

    When I was on my course, I had to have my Avon Moisture Therapy Lip balm with me at all times. I'd buy it in 5 or 10 packs on ebay. I could use a whole tube in a couple days. At no point in the day did I ever go without a fresh layer. During meals I'd have to add more chapstick as it got wiped off. When I went to bed, I'd keep a tube under my pillow for touch ups. I was vigilant about it and thankfully never had any crusty or bleeding lips.

    As for sex, it was pretty much mandatory that my bf take a trip downtown beforehand. He's into that, I'm into that, it worked out just fine.

    And in the end it proved to be all worth it. I'm one month off my meds and my skin is still improving. It hasn't looked this good in probably 15 years.

    Same here. But now that I think about it, maybe it was bc we were foreplaying in a hot tub? I hope that was the case. Bc damn, the dryness sucked for me in the morning next day.

    I have always sworn by neosporin on my (mouth) lips to seal in moisture and help heal dry, cracked lips. As for down there, I am perma-dry due to hormonal issues and we (hubbie and I) swear by good ol' fashion KY and lots of spit. I find other OTC lubricants (Astroglide) stain my sheets.
