Vitamin A

Good evening all!

Hope you were able to enjoy what was a beautiful day! Perfectly pleasant weather!

So after getting the OK from my doctor, I ordered some vitamin A and took my first pill about 3 hrs ago. Vitamin A is the primary ingredient in the drug Accutane, which is prescribed for people with extreme acne. Hidradenitis Suppurativa has also been called acne inversa. A very extreme form of acne. The similar attributes being clogged pores and the forming of pimples in the case of typical acne, but boils and cyst with HS.

With that being said, the vitamin A works as a drying agent in the body. The goal in my case is for it to help dry up the pus in my body as well as the production of it(Suppurativa means pus producing). This would decrease the inflammation and secretions.

As with any drug or supplement, caution is necessary. Too much vitamin A can cause liver toxicity or osteoporosis if taken for too long or in high doses.

I’ll be remaining in tuned to my body and taking it as prescribed. I’m definitely excited for the posibilty of improvement!

Stay tuned!
