This is my 4th month of accutane and I am still getting a few large pimples like I did before accutane. My acne has gone away significantly but I still get small bumps and a few large pimples. And my skin is insanely dry. I also have delvelpoed painful eczema on my arms. Is this normal?
I was prescribed Accutane 20mg for 2wks then increased to 40mg for a month and then 60mg. My skin began to get extremely itchy and I see dry red patches mostly below my butt and my legs. Hydrocortisone n lotion only help for 1-2hours before they itch again. Told my derm and she put me back on 40mg. Now (4mths in), the dry patches still itch n still there, and I'm also suffering from vaginal dryness. Should I stop Accutane?? If not, will all of these go away after I'm done with Accutane??
I suffer with mild acne and I have been on Accutane for 3 months now. I'm on 40mg a day, 5ft3 tall and weigh around 63 kilos. My eczema has returned after not having it for 15 years, my dermatitis is 10 times worse which I suffer quite bad with anyway, I have red patchy scaly legs and my mood swings and emotions are horrendous! My acne has basically cleared up and I feel alot more confident in my skin, do I really need to carry on taking them if my skin is now the way I want it too be?
