A majority of my day as a reading teacher is spent sitting hunched over trying to monitor what my students are doing. At least an hour of this sitting time a day is spent on a rug, moving from student to student during centers. This wasn’t really a problem for anything other than my back and my fitbit competitions… until today. It turns out my skin has become so very sensitive that the mere rubbing of my arm against my dress pants has caused rug burn!! It’s the weirdest thing!!!

Just me taking an awkward selfie while trying not to be noticed at the Y. “Pants” rug burn in full force still 😦

Of course this starts to happen as I begin my last month on Isotretinoin. My face has been completely clear for the last few months, but I have recently had bumps coming up in random places – so my dermatologist and I decided to keep me on for one more month (It will be 6 months total, which is a typical course).

I’ve been pretty lucky as far as side effects go, but these past few weeks have been getting a little crazy. It is clear that my skin and eyes are becoming much more sensitive than they once were.

Here’s to hoping this last month isn’t much worse than the ones I’ve had so far, and that this “pants burn” goes away soon!!! Let me know if you have any questions or topics you would like me to touch on before I finish this last month!
