Red bumps on hands after Accutane - advice? (photos)

Question

Hi, I use accutane for about thee months now and just a week ago a red rash developed on my hands. I'm a bit worried that it might be something serious

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

If you are concerned about this new rash I would recommend you see your dermatologist. They'd be your best person to consult on this. -Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question and photographs. A common side effect of Accutane is dry skin, and if the dryness is severe, eczema like rashes may appear. It's difficult to evaluate your skin through this type of forum, so I highly recommend you consult with your dermatologist to have your hands examined and to discuss appropriate treatment options. Take care and good luck.
