Gross updates

I've been getting hemorrhoids the past two weeks >.< like super painful too. I hate it. I'm posting this so other people will know about it and to know that it can be a side effect. Because Accutane dries everything up, it can sometimes dry out your rectum as well, causing pain. Hemorrhoids can be inside or outside the rectum and are little inflamed polyps that bleed. So if you are on Accutane and it hurts to poop and you have a small amount of blood, definitely tell your dermatologist, but don't be too worried. The warning of the box means if you have blood mixed with stool. How to remedy this is to drink electrolyte water. Your body needs the extra hydration, regular water is ok, but Pedialyte is the best. Seriously, it has saved me from peeling skin, headaches and other side effects causing by dehydration while on Accutane. I just need to make sure to drink it everyday ^^;; Get the plain kind and mix it with juice since it is a little salty by itself.
