I have a jar on hand that I use on my 3 year old's dry skin patches. I'm just 4 days into using Accutane and have some pretty significant dry skin / peeling happening around my nose, around my mouth and on my chin. I did use it last night after I showered and it really helped. Other lotions I have just don't cut it. If you suggest not using the Aquaphor, I'll purchase the Cetaphil, Elta or Elevase moisturizers. Thanks!
I am in my third month of accutane, my skin and lips are starting to get really dry. My skin is flaking and lips are peeling. My dermatologist has said I cannot use any oils on my face just an aloe Vera gel or oil free moisturiser as oils cause oil like cysts. But when I have researched it nowhere else says anything about using aloe Vera gel as a moisturiser or that oils are extremely bad. I was just wondering which skincare products are recommended and which should be avoided completely.
I am about to start Accutane as approved by my dermatologist. I have already started the ball rolling and I am waiting the month to start for a second negative pregnancy test. I ran out of face wash so I picked up a new one to hold me over. After three days of use, my skin started burning and peeling especially around the mouth and cheeks. Now (fourth day) it is completely red and scaly and hurts to touch. If I am having this reaction to Salicylic acid, is it still safe for me to try Accutane?
I am on accutane (2mo) and last night I popped a whitehead and my skin around the area peeled and I believe its infected now. Its red with two white bumps and the area is like wet? I dont know what to do please help
I'm a 15 yr old female and I'm currently taking accutane 20mg per day. This is my second week and I am having dry lips, but that's expected. What I've also been noticing is that my face constantly sheds skin, or peeling skin. Also I have been using a pretty drying face wash so that probably causes the peeling/flaking skin. Just to be sure, I stopped using the face wash and started using a PH balanced wash for my face. Does Accutane makes your skin peel alone? Thanks.
I'm 23 years old, I have been using Accutane for the pass 3 months and I still have 2 more months to go. In the last few weeks my face constantly feels dry and starts to peeling as soon as I apply my moisturizer and sunscreen. Last week, I started to peel on my eyelids, the products that I that I use are highly recommended by my doctor. I want to know if I am just over sensitive and the excessive peeling n dryness is normal? compared to the average person on Accutane?
Im on my second month of Acctane 60mg and the 2nd week in to the dosage I noticed dryness around/inside my vaginal area. I thought it might have been a reaction to my tampon, but I now have rough, peeling, cracked skin on the lips and its constantly burning, peeling and sometimes bleeding. I went to my gyno and she said to just put aquaphor on it and hope for the best. Its so uncomfortable/painful to the point its hard to wear panties or pants and I resort to wearing maxi dresses.
