My skin is burning/stinging only a week into my accutance course. Im on 20mg a day. There is a slight pinkish tone to my face across the nose and cheeks but i feel this is unrelated an may have been there anyway. This is my second course of accutane and i experienced nothing like this first time round. It happens randomly throughout the day and there is no specific trigger. I was worried it may be accutane induced rosacea but im skeptical ?

You can use Mederma, but please have realistic expectations. I've never seen anything great from Mederma, particularly with old acne scarring. So it's fine to use, but just don't expect much.
40mg is a pretty standard, lower dosage, so you shouldn't have any extreme side effects. Heart fluttering or palpitations should be checked by a cardiologist, but would be unrelated to the Accutane.
