Accutane + Ears Q&A

I am 185 lb early 20s male. I do not have acne, but I do have cysts that are appearing in my outer ears. It is ramping up and they are very small but it went from 1-2 to 5-6 between the left and right ear and Im wondering if accutane or any other medicine out there could potentially help this issue. Previously I had a small one drained and they believed that it was potentially sebaceous but unsure.

I've been breaking out on my face, neck, ears, back, chest, all the way down to my stomach and the top of my buttocks since I was 11. I'm now 26. I've tried antibiotics, prescription topical ointments, and quite literally every over the counter treatment. Nothing makes more than a small difference. I've been considering accutane for a few years now. Is it possible I could be prescribed it, without having to do more bogus topicals and antibiotics? I live in the Phoenix area.

I would like to have a piercing in my ear, but can I do that if I use Accutane.

I start accutane in about two and a half weeks and I want to get my cartilage on my ear pierced and also second piercings on my ear lobes.

I'll be finished in five months. I really want to get my ears pierced, but I don't know if I can.

I've been using isotretinoin 20 mg for 5 weeks, but now I'm having burning ears, burning head, eyes, very dry tongue. What can I do for these side effects. Also when can it be safe to get pregnant after isotretinoin?
