I am about to start Accutane but in 2 months I am going on a volunteer trip where I will be in the sun. Can I stop for 1 month?

yes you can stop and go with accutane or you can lower the dose and do a lot of sunprotection. ensure you are using the right skincare and sunprotection including heliocare daily (see link to emeragecosmetics.com accutane skincare protocol). also the entire faith skincare line Is great for those with dry skin on accutane, plus the restosea 10x lotion. everyone of dr emers clients use the restosea lipmagic as well.Acne requires a combination approach to get long term improvement.  For all patients on isotretinoin, we require them to be on skin care such as vitamin C, glycolic cream, kojic acid serums in the morning and retinols and salicylic acid at night.   All of our patients get clear+brilliant non ablative laser along with a microsecond YAG laser such as aerolase or laser genesis and microneedling with PRP or microneelding RF like intensif or fractora monthly to help improve breakouts, speed the healing process, and improve scarring and facial redness while on the isotretinoin/accutane.  LED light therapy, cosmelan/enlighten peels, salt facial or dermalinfusion can be done as well to speed up the improvement. I sugges tyou go to an expert who combines skin care, lasers, microneedling, PRP, and facials while on oral medications for acne.  Best, Dr. Emer.
