Hi there! Ive had subtype 1 rosacea primarily with constant erythema to one cheek more than the others and constant flushing. My dermatologist recommended accutane. Will this help my redness, flushing and mild swelling (to my one cheek/ that flushes)? Thanks so much!!
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 started to use Isotretinoin (Accutane?) 5 days ago. Im very worried that something is wrong because Ive never heard that your nose can get swollen. After 3-4 days the sides of my nose started to hurt a little, and after some days the pain sensation started to come all over the nose area and not just the sides. My nose hurts and feels very stiff and swollen and is red. The inside of my nose is dry. Its also very hard to do facial expressions because my face hurts, mostly because of my nose.
I started to notice the facial swelling the 2nd month in of my course. My cheeks were puffy, and my jawline had no definition. Lymph nodes in my neck and below my jaw line also swelled and glands in my face. Three months post and my face is still quite puffy. Is this all caused by the medication and will resolve over time?
Hello, I have swelling on my face in the area of my jaw and cheeks. I noticed the swelling by the third month. I haven't taken the drug in 4 months and the swelling hasn't improved. My lymph nodes in the area of my jaw and neck also swelled up in the 4 month of therapy. I dont know what to do next, can someone help please?
