I am going on low dose accutane for type 1 rosacea with mild swelling. I believe I have KP or PD as well. Will accutane make these worse or help? Will it actually reduce my facial swelling? Im a little afraid to go on it but desperate for better skin and no swelling,
I had a 4 month course of accutane for chin acne about 18 months ago (40mg a day i weigh about 60kgs). Half way into my course i started getting small flesh coloured bumps on my cheeks where I did NOT have acne. Even after finishing the course I have tried to have them extracted, electrocautery and they won't budge. My current derm believes its osteoma cutis. An online user suggested it maybe Keratosis Pilaris. Can accutane cause KP? Do the bumps looks similar between KP and Osteoma cutis?
I took accutane for 6 months for minor chin acne. After a month of being off the drug I developed a red bumpy rash on my chest, thighs & legs. I had minor keratosis pilaris rubra on my face & arms since I was a child and am 28, it appears to be the same kind of small red bumps as KP but I have never had it anywhere else & have had clear soft skin. I have had the rash for 6 mths now & it appears to be getting worse. I have tried AHAs & differin 1% on my chest for almost 2 mths w no improvement.
I've been taking Accutane for the last eight months (40 mg per day) and will finish the treatment in 50 days, when I will reach a cumulative dose of 150mg/kg. The skin on my face is finally clear, but over the last weeks I have develop keratosis pilaris in my upper arms. I've never had such condition before, so I assume it is caused by the medication. My question is: could the condition improve or disappear after stopping the treatment? I'm a 39 years old male with fair skin. Thanks
I have keratosis pilaris pretty much all over my body, face included. Over the last few years I developed skin irregularities presenting themselves in little raised bumps. May not be related to KP. Havent found a doctor that knows, so I am trying my luck here. Any treatment reccomendations welcome
I am a 27 years old unmarried female with genetic acne. Have tried almost everything from smoothbeam laser to antibiotics and topical medicines. But acne keeps on coming back. Even tried adlactone A to control hormonal acne. But, no use. I also have a tendency to develop bumps, irritated acne after wax. What can be done to combat this? Will accutane help with after wax bumps once i am off the course?
