Accutane Makes my Rosacea Redness Worse. What Can I Do? I've been battling Acne for some time, and I'm seeing great results from Accutane. However, it makes my Rosacea redness significantly worse. I understand I won't be able to get any laser help for some time, but is there any hope for me? My nose is bright red all the time!

A: Redness worse during Accutane treatment

Over-the-counter CereVe products may be helpful including CereVe PM which contains niacinamide and CereVe AM which has sunscreen. Most dermatologists will also have medical-grade products in their office that can be very helpful for your redness and irritation.

Accutane a Second Time? I've been there before with Accutane. It's been 2 years and I'm getting the return of the cystic acne again. I hate this outcome. Is a second course of Accutane advisable?

A: Multiple courses of Accutane are occasionally necessary

Occasionally repeat courses of Accutane (isotretinoin) are necessary for acne. Consider trying other acne therapies again before starting a second course. If you do decide on a second course, be sure to start on maintenance therapy immediately after to try to decrease chances of significant acne occurring again.
