I have been struggling with texture, redness, pimples that are deep, and irritation with sensitive skin. I have been prescribed to doxycycline, sulfamethoxazole trimethopim, epiduo, and retain a. I have been prescribed to these medications over the course of 3 years now and nothing has worked. Is accutane my way to go?
Ive been on accutane which is low dose 10mg a day for mild acne and stopped right now for few days and ive appiled more topical tretinoin for redness next day my skin is very sensitive and red ,flaking im currently using hydrocortisone cream for my irritated skin my cheeks looks like rosacea very irritated plz help me i cant tolerate
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.
I over-exfoliate so much as a teen on top of having constant inflammation and acne that I did not treat properly. I now have scar-prone skin that looks dull and dehydrated no matter what I do. There is a ruddy texture around my jaw and very mild scarring everywhere. I'm really desperate for a solution but everyone recommends what I know for certain would only ruin my skin. I've tried Retinoids and it enlarged my pores and gave me severe redness for over a year. What else can I do? Accutane?
Experienced skin irritation after a 4month course of roacutane while using exfoliating face wash. Skin was very sensitive. Used nerisone fatty ointment for a week or so on and off which seems to have caused some damage to the skin around the creases of the mouth and sides of chin area. Skin here is darker than on the rest of the face and the crease on one side of the face is more prominent. I'm of Indian ethnicity with hyper pigmentation. Is there a way to heal the damage caused to skin cells?
I started Accutane about two weeks ago and my face has gone terribly dry and flaky. Now whenever I put lotion or foundation my face starts to sting really bad. Even after I use to wash my face with Cetaphil, but my face becomes super dry and a small touch on my cheeks it would begin to sting. I'm wondering what moisturizer would be best for sensitive skin?
I've been using Accutane for 5 months now. My skin cleared but due to dark pigmentation I have some scarring and that summer is near I am noticing freckles under my eyes and noes and random spots on my face. I have tan skin and never had freckles. Its so frustrating because I am using an intense medication to clear my skin then turns out I get freckles. Overall, I have two questions:
I'm going to be done with Accutane in a month or two. I'm an active athlete and this sensitivity to sunlight scares me. I have lacrosse practice from 4pm-6pm, and I wear sunscreen all over my body. After one season, I'm browner than I would be if I laid on the beach all summer. I really don't want to damage my skin, but I'm probably going to go to some tournaments this summer that will be all day in harsh sunlight. What can I do to protect myself?
