I'm on my 3rd week of my isotretinoin course. And I noticed that my black and white heads are becoming more visible. Can I use pores strips to get rid of them. Or, should I leave them and wait for medication do its work

Dear lnfowler,
As you clearly understand, Accutane and pregnancy are a scary combination. Even topical medications like Retin-A should not be used. However, this is so long as you, the pregnant one, are the one taking it. You should be safe if it your boyfriend on the medication, not...
Try omeprazole and if ot help discuss with your provider. What you describe MOST LIKELY (not necessarily what you have) is heartburn. Prednisone also may cause it. Best of luck in your journey!
Thank you for your question. I cannot tell you how Oratane will affect your baby, but I highly recommend you consult a board certified obstetrician/gynecologist and inform the physician that you were taking Oratane when you got pregnant. Take care and good luck.
