Hi, two years ago I took accutane for six months. Now, its been 2 years but my skin and lips are still dry. I had a folate deficiency that Im curing for 1 month and a half but I still have dry skin and lips. Is it possible that was caused by accutane or is it caused by my folate deficiency?
I have been on Accutane Claravis 40 Mg for nearly 2 months now since jan 4th. I have seen nothing but my skin just worsening, I get acne on parts of my face and neck that I haven't before, I get so many big whiteheads and they will stay there for weeks unless I pop them. I've experienced nose bleeds, dry lips, dry skin, and eye dryness. I'm growing highly pessimistic because there is not one slight sign of anything good. I don't know if there's something i'm doing wrong and if so what?
I'm currently on my 8th week of roaccutane. The first 4 weeks were 30mg and seen my skin get worse. After week 4 I started on 70mg and now have seen my skin get much much worse. My acne was loacalised to my chin and chest but now I have it on my cheeks, neck, chin, forehead and jaw. Why is this happening and when should I get concerned. My lips are so dry they constantly crack and extremely painful. I can't eat in public as my skin around my mouth cracks and flakes with the movement of eating.
I have been on accutane for 40 days now and i have been expecting to see prograss but instead my acne is still the same and i have noticed a few new zits on my chin , i have read that people start to clear up after the first month so i am a little bit worried that there is something wrong. P.S i get dry lips and dry skin and my hair also got a little bit dry ., when should i expect my face to start clearing up?
Hello. I have mild to moderate acne and I am on my fifth day of accutane( 30mg). I just encountered mild dry lips but when washing my face with an acne cleanser for oily skin ( i feel my skin becomes irritated). I don't know if I should use a cleanser for oily or dry skin so am temporarily not using one. Please recommend a type of cleanser.
I am in my third month of accutane, my skin and lips are starting to get really dry. My skin is flaking and lips are peeling. My dermatologist has said I cannot use any oils on my face just an aloe Vera gel or oil free moisturiser as oils cause oil like cysts. But when I have researched it nowhere else says anything about using aloe Vera gel as a moisturiser or that oils are extremely bad. I was just wondering which skincare products are recommended and which should be avoided completely.
I have been off of accutane for 8 months now and my lips are still severely dry. I used to never ever have dry lips prior to taking accutane but now they get so dry that they will crack and bleed. I was told that the dry lips symptoms would go away once I stopped taking accutane but there has been no improvement in my lips. Is there a chance that whatever natural mechanisms that used to keep my lips normally moisturized will never recover because of the accutane?
I'm in my 3rd month (of five) of Accutane treatment. So far, I'm pleased with the results, but I am dealing with typical side effects like dry skin/lips and joint pain. My question is, how long will those side effects last once I've completed treatment?
I'm 43 yo and I've tried Doxy(6yrs), metrogel, Soolanta, Azelex.I began Myorisan 20 mg qd. 9 wks ago. I saw improvement after wk 3 and was very pleased up through wk 7.I had some of the drying of lips, skin, and hair which is to be expected.Around wk 8, I noticed to be producing an increase of sebum again. It was like it was I was taking the doxy and barely maintaining.My face has recently started showing eruptions again.I did mention the increase of oil last visit.Any advice prior to my f/u?
