I have been on Accutane Claravis 40 Mg for nearly 2 months now since jan 4th. I have seen nothing but my skin just worsening, I get acne on parts of my face and neck that I haven't before, I get so many big whiteheads and they will stay there for weeks unless I pop them. I've experienced nose bleeds, dry lips, dry skin, and eye dryness. I'm growing highly pessimistic because there is not one slight sign of anything good. I don't know if there's something i'm doing wrong and if so what?
I'm going into month 4 of my accutane regimen, currently on 80mg a day. Not too many side effects from the drug in general other than the usual dryness. With the weather warming up I was curious about the effects of sun exposure while on Isotretinoin. My boyfriend lives in the city and we walk everywhere when its warm. I'm mexican and usually tan but have burned on occasion but I want to make sure I won't burn like crazy in the summer months.
I've been placed on 20mg isotretinoin daily for 2 weeks now. People have told me that my skin will become very dry and I'll need to moisturize it.. though I'm finding that whenever I came home or wake up in the morning and feel my face, I can still see heavy amounts of oil on it, and so moisturizing it is surely counterproductive as a result? My lips however are getting a bit dryer, but nothing major, and my acne has actually worsened over the past 15 days. Should I be worried? Is my dose too low?
I have been on accutane for 40 days now and i have been expecting to see prograss but instead my acne is still the same and i have noticed a few new zits on my chin , i have read that people start to clear up after the first month so i am a little bit worried that there is something wrong. P.S i get dry lips and dry skin and my hair also got a little bit dry ., when should i expect my face to start clearing up?
I was on roaccutane for 6 months for 50 mg a day because of acne I suffered from really bad chapping of the lips although I am only 21 and male so I probably complain about it more than I should! But I've been off the medication now for nearly 5 months Now the line on my lower lip which separates the wet part of the oral mucosa from the front facing normal skin is dry and scaly. The oral mucosa directly behind the line is sticky to touch. I don't think you would call this chapped lips.
I have permanent redness on my cheeks which started few months after my acne treatment with accutane. It's been four years, and I still have it. My cheeks looks fragile and very dry all the time, like a sunburn. What can I do?
My skin is extremely sensitive and dry after accutane course. i have taken 20 mg oratane for almost 3 months... my oil glands stopped working. i have got wrinkles on my face. for how long does this dryness last and when my oil glands start producing oil.
But derm put me on face wash for dry skin but i have oily skin. The day cream with the SPF is making me darker as well. My pimples have spread even more. But I am using Roaccutane now for 5 days. Please advise. Desperate
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!
