I've been breaking out on my face, neck, ears, back, chest, all the way down to my stomach and the top of my buttocks since I was 11. I'm now 26. I've tried antibiotics, prescription topical ointments, and quite literally every over the counter treatment. Nothing makes more than a small difference. I've been considering accutane for a few years now. Is it possible I could be prescribed it, without having to do more bogus topicals and antibiotics? I live in the Phoenix area.
Any clue what this is & how to get rid of it? For a year+ I've had these bumps on my torso. I'm thin, no skin folds, never sweaty. Wear loose cotton clothing, rarely wear a bra. The bumps are on ribcage between breasts, & upper stomach. It often stings/itches. I've tried benzoyl perox, BHA, AHA, hydrocortizone, Desonide, tretinoin, Hibiclens, Cerave, Mupirocin, Xolegel, doxycycline, Keflex, Spiro, zinc soap, erythromycin, etc...nothing helps. Any ideas?
Started Accutane 2 days ago (40 mg) once a day take at after I eat dinner. Today mid afternoon I have server stomach pain after eating cereal. Used lactose free milk. Could this be related or could it be the stomach virus? Neighbor has same symptoms and doesn't take Accutane.
I have been taking 20mg of accutane daily for about 50 days. Everything was fine but I just started having serious gas, nausea and constipation. I read somewhere that these symptoms could lead to chrons disease or IBD and Im freaking out! But I really dont want to stop. So Im wondering if I should stop or not?
I have been on Accutane for just over two months and is experiencing severe stomach pain on the left of my belly. Everytime I eat something my stomach bloat up very big. I have now stopped the drug for 5 days and it is getting slightly better. I will see my dermatologist in the next two weeks and will consult with her. However, in the meantime I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar symptoms? Also by me stopping the medication for the next few weeks will my ance come back?
I am looking into both accutane and cosmetic surgery (lipo, breast fat transfer, possible tummy tuck). Is there a recommendation for how long after surgery you would need to wait before starting accutane (or vice versa) to prevent worse scarring?
