Hi, I am a 36 male and diagnosed acne rosacea since 4 years ago. My derm is going to put me on a 10mg/day of accutane for about 1-2 months, then eventually get it up to 20-30mg/day for the whole course, which is 5-6 months. Would this still be too strong Rosacea sufferer? My condition is more on the pustules then redness and I weight about 140lbs. I heard that some people take about 10mg of accutane 2-3 times a week for a prolong period. Is it better? For how long? Please help, thanks!!

You need to have a lot of patience when treating acne redness and scars. It may take at least 6 months to get a significant improvement! You should consider chemical peels and/or laser treatments but long after you've stopped your Accutane therapy.
There is no good published data that Argan oil has any benefit. As an MD, I rely on evidence-based medicine when recommending a product or treatment.
