i did not finished using roaccutane. i took the medicine for only 4 months and because i haven't seen any improvement on my face, i decided to stop using it... my question is, can i use other acne medicine on my face immediately after taking unfinished roaccutane course? thank you..
Accutane is the strongest medicine we have for acne. However, if your acne is hormonal or there is another underlying reason for it, you may not get the results you want using Accutane.
Accutane is a retinoid. There are cream formulations of various retinoids, with Retin-A being the most famous. There are other ones that are even stronger, such as Tazorac. That can be an option for you, if your acne is not cystic.
Once acne is deep and or cystic, oral medicines such as antibiotics or aldactone can be used to control your acne.
Please get a consultation from a dermatologist. You really need a comprehensive approach if your 4 months of treatment did not yield any results.
I've noticed a lot of sites like this being spammed out on Twitter. Is there any safe way to order Accutane online? Are these pills even real Accutane? If someone is safely prescribed Accutane by their doc, should they order these pills to save money?
I would NOT recommend buying Accutane online. This is a controlled medication in the US and you should be monitored while you are on it. Dr. Behnam.
I've been on Accutane for about 3 months. Unfortunately, I got badly sunburned last week while playing golf. To make matters worse, I went running this morning in pants. Now my legs have many small blisters or little air pockets! What should I do? Have I caused permanent damage?
Caution should be exercised while on Accutane. Accutane works on the pilosebaceous unit and decreases the body's ability to epithelialize a wound during treatment. Avoid deep sunburns and trauma while on accutane.
