i suffer from acne, dermatits and folliculitis and i have used benzoyl peroxide as well as doxycycline and clindamycin to treat it but nothing has helped that much should i go for accutane ? i have also been using minoxidil on my face to grow a beard which eventually made my acne worse Thanks
I suffer with mild acne and I have been on Accutane for 3 months now. I'm on 40mg a day, 5ft3 tall and weigh around 63 kilos. My eczema has returned after not having it for 15 years, my dermatitis is 10 times worse which I suffer quite bad with anyway, I have red patchy scaly legs and my mood swings and emotions are horrendous! My acne has basically cleared up and I feel alot more confident in my skin, do I really need to carry on taking them if my skin is now the way I want it too be?
Just finished my 7 month treatment of Accutane (2 month x20 mg - 4.5 month x40 mg -2 wks x20 mg). My acne completely disapeared since month 3 till the day I stopped Accutane. Though as my dosage decreased, little red dot appeared around my mouth but now that I totally stopped taking Accutane the rash spread and is now intense. It looks bad and itch a lot. My questions: can the stopped of Accutane caused this? Does it usually go away on it's own? How long does it usually last? Feeling hopeless!
Ive been on Accutane for 3 month & I thought I was seeing clogged pore so I used my exfoliator brush, 3 days later woke up to tons on my face so I putted salicylic acid. After some research it most look like contact-allergic dermatitis. Before this I did saw those red patches on my face with those tiny clogged pore (mini blister) but thought it was part of Accutane treatment & lasted 3 days but now its all over my face and neck. Should I be worry, stop the treatment or do some kind of treatment?
One Derm says i have acne and another says i have perioral dermatitis. My acne is all over mostly around mouth and chin. I've been prescribed accutane, does that help with perioral dermatitis (i've read it does) if that is what i have around my mouth/chin? I also have acne on cheeks (deep cystic stuff and enlarged pimples).
