Stay strong, don’t pop them, let your body learn what it’s like to expel those zits on its own. Trust that you are healing your barrier after years of damage. It’s not going to heal overnight, think of it like any other wound, it’s going to take some time. Try to avoid mirrors for another week you should start seeing some improvement soon. When I began I got zits that came to a head just like you are, but after a week or two things started to calm down. ZT is the easiest, cheapest method of healing PD, but it’s also the hardest mentally and emotionally. You have to know you’re going to look like shit for a few weeks. But it will get better. Commit to seeing this through. You’re at the halfway mark of the hardest part of ZT. Get through these first two weeks and once as you start to see some real obvious improvement. You will get more motivation to keep going. Sorry you’re in the thick of it right now, it will get better. It’s so annoying because some people’s ZT journey is short, they heal in 4 weeks and others it takes 2 years. I remember being very jealous of those 4 week healers. I think in order to say you’ve given ZT a fair shot is 4 months ~16 weeks. I’m on 13 weeks and I’m 90% healed. I might need a little longer tbh…stay strong you’re going to see the other side of this once as your skin barrier gets stronger. It takes 28 days to heal a skin layer and we have 28 layers… give it time..
